Color wash quilt is finally done

 Looking for some wall to hang it!  Now what shall I do next….

Crazy Christmas cactus blooming in May!

 

UFO progress!

 Finished putting together the quilted jacket I started in November 2025. It sure is heavy, the bottom doesn’t come together (because of my belly), and the back is quite a bit big. I did use a XL sweatshirt for the pattern which accounts for the back. I could make a couple darts but since the jacket is so thick it would be problematic.  For the front I could add a strip to both front edges.  Basically all I need to do is buy some aqua or pink double-fold bias tape to bind it

Next up is a color wash quilt I started years ago from a bag of squares I bought from Wanda in 2023 (the exuberant quilter). I remember I fussed and fussed with this and finally stopped moving squares, but I still think it could be improved!  Now I can put it together and quilt and bind it and this one is done.

The next thing I want to do is finish this alphabet sampler  I started in 2011!! I don’t even remember why I started it but it could be a nice backing for a child’s quilt.  Just need to figure out how to assemble…that’s probably why I stopped 15 years ago…..  oh and a couple hot pads I started two years ago for Christmas presents, or for me as mine are stained and burned!  Actually I love making hot pads, especially out of orphan blocks of which I have none😍

4th quilt finished this year

 The QOV quilt is finished, so far this year that’s one per month average. I’ve got 2 more cut out and ready to sew, but first I’m going to finish a few UFOs

Hanging the Lone Star

 I got tired of waiting for someone to help me hang this, so I did it myself. I should have cleared off the couch first

And started quilting the QOV. If I cannot find someone in my area to give it I’ll send to Alycia in Colorado. I’ve sent her QOV quilts in the past. This was the last quilt along

This beast. Is finally finished

 It’s heavy and big, will give it a light wash then on to something else!  I love it… the backing is fabric that Christa had for sale 

Finished and ready to hang

  Trying to figure the best way to hang this!  Also have started the quilting on the lupine quilt…it is so large I swear I’m not making another big quilt 

Working my way around

 Lone Star is coming along nicely!  So many strings to bury  I wonder why you can’t see the quilting when you zoom in.  Something about the photo I took wasn’t right…
