Slow Stitching Sunday

I was in the mood for some mindless stitching. So I whipped up a little improv piece.

I’m using variegated perle cotton to quilt with.

The fabrics are scraps that I hand dyed. I’ll be making it up as I go.

I’m just using the tip of my needles to scratch lines to follow.

Have a great day!

This and That

Some food for thought.

My holiday puzzle.

The parks here are lovely!

The grand dogs were here recently. I wonder why they all sit by Mr. Wonderful?

I found this purse at a sale. It is so NOT me….and yet…..

I’ve been chewing on this lately.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Valentine

I love a quick and easy project now and then!

I had fun with the quilting on this one.

And I found the perfect backing in my stash.

You may notice that many of these pinks do not “go together.” When working with scraps, I throw together as many different pinks as possible and none of them sticks out as being wrong.

You can see the same with the white on white backgrounds.

Now to find a home for this little bit. BTW, you can find a tutorial for a similar quilt I made a couple years ago. Click here for that post.

Have a great day!

December Wrap Up

It’s been a busy month, as December often is. Over the last few years, we have greatly simplified our Christmas celebrations, preferring to focus on the most important things, Jesus and family. But heading out west and working on home stuff has taken much of our time. Still I managed a few finishes.

I also was finally able to share this runner I made for AccuQuilt .

January is already looking crazy, so we shall see if I get anything done. Have a great day!

Something New

I’ve been working on some secret sewing that I can’t share just yet. But I was in the mood to take a break from that. I grabbed this bin of 2” squares and played a bit.

I had a lot of white on white squares so I grabbed those along with an assortment of pinks. I’m so not a pink girl!

Anyway, I decided to get a jump on Valentine’s Day and make another little heart quilt.

Trying to decide if I want a border on this or not.

It’s been a fun little diversion.

Hav3 a great day!

2023 UFOs

Out of 16 UFOs, I finished exactly two this year. 😳 That’s my worst record in years. I guess I found too many other things along the way to start.

First, this bow tie quilt that became a graduation quilt was finished.

And my strings became String Theory. I think this is my favorite quilt for this year!

Now, about those other 14 UFOs…..

Have a great day!

Morning Blend Table Runner

Did you know that AccuQuilt now carries June Tailor products? I decided to try out this quilt as you go table runner.

The package contains instructions and this batting. So the lines printed on it?

I put it up on my design wall to audition my fabric choices. I’m using Flowerland by Ruby Star Society.

Place your backing fabric right side down and then put the batting on top. I rough cut the piece so there was less bulk.

Then it is a simple flip and sew process.

It was fun and I completed it in an afternoon. AccuQuilt has many June Tailor Quilt as you go kits on their site. Check them out!

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Feedsack Irish Chain

My leader/ender project is done! It is also my last finish for the year.

I really love this and I can definitely see another Irish Chain quilt in my future.

My quilting is a bit wonky. I need to level my quilt frame.

I used muslin on the back.

It crinkled up nicely in the wash! This photo is quite washed out, but definitely shows the texture.

This last one shows the truest color.

I’m loving this! I’ll hold onto it until I find a baby to gift it to.

Have a great day!
