These are so freaking cute. The blocks are 5". So tiny. Lots of cussing but worth it when they are finished

Finally finished my Everglow Star Cluster quilt. I added borders to make it bigger. Used a Jungle Leaf edge-to-edge quilting pattern and wool batting..

I have a couple of sew steady tables. They are great. My primary machine is in a cabinet, which is best. But 2nd best is an extension table.

I've been slowly working on my road to Ireland quilt. I have all the units cut and sewn to begin making more 9 patches for the double 9 patch blocks.

I go with pressing seams open but heck yeah I have lots of frustration these days so a hammer sounds like a great plan. LOL

It's one of only 2 solid color quilts I've done in 25 years. I really loved it when I first saw the pattern so I bought the kit.

My art professor was constantly send me back for revisions, look for more shadows and highlights. The sheen on this dress is a perfect example! Beautiful detail.

Postcards From Sweden is ready for quilting. I'lll be using the fabric in the second picture for the back of the quilt. I haven't decided on a quilting design yet.

That's cool. I'll probably keep mine. But who knows if someone loves it I'll probably gift it.

My Postcards from Sweden is growing on me. I figured once I got some more warm colors I would like it better.

I purchased this quilt kit at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in 2023. I quilted it with a digital quilting pattern called Heatwave and used a flame colored variegated thread.

Yes! It feels like Trump is being isolated, and even the red states are waking up, although we already had support in the large urban areas. However, we can't get complacent because he'll likely spiral even more as he feels more isolated.

Working on my Postcards From Sweden quilt. So far I'm underwhelmed but I'm hoping I'm satisfied with the finished quilt since I've always loved the quilt. But I'm not a fan of solids. Stay tuned.

I love that my machine can handle multiple layers too. It's hard to sew bags if the machine struggles with layers.

Did the last 15 blocks for my 100 Modern Blocks quilt. I sorted the 1st 85 and I was heavy on the cool colors so the last 15 are warm colors. Mostly orange as I only had 4 oranges in the stack.

So I got an idea from a conversation with a friend and a churn dash quilt I recently quilted. Decided to plan a quilt but with all different sizes of the same block & some blocks within blocks. The smallest will be 3" finished which is super small so I decided I better make a test block.
