Can’t say I’m sad to see 2023 go away. But 2024 hasn’t started much better. Last year was full of funerals and illnesses and just no fun struggles for much of my family. And we started out the new year with an ambulance ride due to seizures for my youngest. So in the next month…

So exciting! I have several finishes that I haven’t written about. And more progress on UFOs! This is the hexie quilt I’ve been working on since last March. It’s so fun to look at with all the details in the in the center of the flowers. I still have enough left over flowers to make…

Every year I make a list of my quilting UFOs (unfinished projects) and promise myself to work on one each month. Not necessarily to finish it, but at least to pull it out and make some progress. Usually I do this in conjunction with my online guild’s UFO challenge. This year is no different, and…

Ok, so not really a lot of drama, but I made a cute little llama wall hanging this month! Check out my Alejandro quilt below! My online guild had a January challenge where you sewed on two projects (THIS or THAT) all month, with the organizer choosing which one each day. I chose my old…

I so admire those who write faithfully on their blogs; either every day or at least once a week. I want to be one of those people, but….life gets in the way. My grandkids live close now, so I want to spend time with them. My oldest daughter is going to school an hour away…

I have a little more time these days to sew and I’ve been able to get a few projects done and a couple more well on their way to being done. This was a swap I did with my online guild. I was asked to select a panel from my overseas partner’s stash and then…

A long time ago, it seemed like everyone in my quilting group was crazy about English paper pieced hexagons. I repeatedly said I would NEVER do hexagons! Grandmother’s Flower Garden patterns just did not appeal to me. Neither did any of the modern patterns I saw. But…never say never, right? Well, fast forward to a…

Over a year since I’ve written a post. I’ve been busy, and this blog has not been a priority since I write it mostly for myself. It’s so much easier to just add photos on Instagram if I want to show off my work. I’ve actually seen a couple of other bloggers (that are obviously…

I finished this small quilt this week. It started out as a quilt along with Amy Gibson of stitcherydickorydock.com. I made eleven of the 12 blocks, but in the end did not like the final setting, so the blocks sat in a box on the shelf for a few years. I went back to her…

This “Dog Gone Cute” baby quilt is another quilt I made this past summer and never posted about! The pattern is from Lorna of SewFreshQuilts. I made this for my new grandson, and didn’t get it finished until after he was here! I had to take the top with me to my daughter’s house and…
