Replaced 175 2" blocks with vintage fabric, covered holes on the back, new binding, a bath. Stain on back did not come out so made a 9 patch from vintage stash. Am I weird for enjoying the whole process?

Back and forth sways my swing Chinkling wind chimes Coffee hot on the table Pencil poised above my pad A soft whoosh of air brushes my cheek as A titmouse's #wings carry her To the seeds on the rail I remain calm Glancing at me as if to say Sorry She picks a seed And flits away #thingstowriteabout

As #pink as a maidens blush A full rose deepest shade Coral waving a watery hue early sunrise ombre layers Feathery pigment flamingos Bright pink streaks through my hair Iced shrimp ready for butter Wallowing pigs a dirty mode And finally The best of all-Dolly Parton pink #thingstowriteabout

#quiltsky This quilt is a pattern by Kim Diehl, called Sunday Best, using her Quiet Grace fabrics. I started it in 2024 and have finally finished it! It's 77 x 77 From a distance, on a fast horse, you really can't see my wobbles. Of course, I over quilted it. Over 2000 meters of Glide thread. Whew!

I have fallen in love with these 2 vintage baby quilts. Both needed new bindings; green one needed 2 holes covered. I don't know which I like it better. What do you think?

I hate when I forget to take a "before" pic! I remembered when there was just one block left to do. Another dog related injury for this sweet throw. Had to rebuild the middle section. Love using a vintage button for tiny holes. Mailing home today.

Before and after of latest repair. Gave client price for repairing both sides or just one. She chose to do only one with new binding on both. Also chose not to have pieces replaced in middle section. I am always happy to work with someone's budget.

Ties are so much fun to work with! Client's husband is retired. He asked for a quilt. Oriental fabric from my stash set off the ties nicely. Funny thing is that husband used to quilt and he had gifted me the fabric from his stash about 6 months ago. Queen size.
