Remember these?

I made these back in January when we were packing like crazy and I needed a break. Well, we are working like crazy again, so it seemed a good time to pull these out!

I don’t have much fabric here anymore, but found two possible options for alternate blocks.

Yep, the second one works best. But the bigger print might make a good border.

We shall see! Have a great day!

Slow Stitching Sunday ~ Pandora’s Box

I cut more pieces for this project before I left Arizona. It seemed a good handwork project for the summer. So I’m starting to mark the seam lines. I’m loving this little ruler from Moda.

I “finished” this last December, but even then I was thinking about going bigger. So I will.

I wonder how much bigger it will get!

Have a great day!

This and That

I found a little bag of blocks from a swap many, many years ago.

They finish at 3 inches. I have no idea what to do with them.

I found these cute bandanas for Winslow and Willy.

They came with a scrunchy so I could match.

The current state of my sewing room.

Kinda crazy! Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Tan and Red

Done! I’m not happy with the machine quilting, but it is, what it is. I decided I was crazy to hand quilt anything this week. We are working hard to get this house on the market and I don’t have a lot of extra time. I miss my long arm!

This first photo was taken before washing.

This one is after washing.

And this is after a good steam.

And the back. You can see I’m very out of practice at quilting on a domestic machine.

This was my inspiration.

The mister needed a place to put his drinks and snacks while watching TV. This ended up being a perfect solution.

Have a great day!

Kitten

AccuQuilt has a new die! I know what you are thinking, this is so not me! I’m a definite dog person. But seeing it gave me an idea for a little girl gift.

I also used the GO! Heart die.

The above photos show a single piece of fabric folded in half. I fused the bits down and then quilted it nearly to death!

That pink zipper is a June Tailor Zippity Do Done zipper. They are very easy to use.

And ta daaaa!!! My finished little purse!

Isn’t it cute? If you want to make your own, you can find the dies and zipper at AQ.

Have a great day!

Drunkards Path 2

Look at that! I’m sewing curves!

Here is a look at the back of my first try. I can live with this.

I think these are going to be really fun to play with on the design wall.

But that will have to wait. I left this project in Arizona. 😕 Probably for the best since an RV doesn’t lend itself to a design wall, and this project will need one.

Have a great day!

Drunkards Path

I haven’t used this tAccuQuilt die since I made this quilt.

So I grabbed this stack of batik squares and pulled a few out.

There is a good variety here. I have no idea where I got them.

So easy to cut and 10” squares fit perfectly on the die board.

See those little points in the middle of each piece? It makes matching these curves a breeze. I don’t use any pins.

I am saving these little strings so there ends up being very little waste.

Stay tuned!

My First Kit

I needed a break from the craziness so I broke out this little kit I made up before leaving AZ.

This quick little project fit the bill.

You can see where I’m headed here.

I’m thinking about hand quilting this.

Have a great day!

Slow Sunday Stitching

Finally! I started hand quilting this ages ago and I’m finally binding it!

Remember when I prepped this binding? It was for this quilt.

We shall see how much binding time I get in today.

Have a good one!

This and That

We found this hot sauce in Northern AZ. It most certainly did not come from MY kitchen!

We found Pikachu in AZ and he came home to Michigan for E2.

We took photos of him along the way and sent them to our boys.

This sign from Petrified Forest made me laugh!

I should have bought this sticker!

And this just made me laugh. 🤣

Have a great day!
