Dashing through the Snow

Here is my progress on Dashing through the Snow quilt top.  How is it that I have a double design wall but I still use the floor?  Maybe old habits are hard to break....

I don’t know how big I will make this quilt.  It will be at least lap size.

The first rainbow top

The first rainbow top is together.  This would be suitable for a man. Lucy did the QA.  Enjoy.  🐸

Little blocks

Last weekend I grabbed this bag of blocks and have been working on finishing the sashing pieces. I am making this top in a 4 X 5 setting. Each piece of the block finish at two inches. Lucy was doing a walk over checking the stitches. Enjoy!

Bear Paw Flimsy

I finished my bear paw today. Many decisions were made and then changed, ripped and resewn. I'm happy with it overall.  Maestro is getting close to check out all the different fabrics. Lucy is doing her job in the last few pictures. Good girls

Each block has its own character.

Playing with Arrow Heads and ...

I woke up this morning knowing I wanted to do a semi custom quilt job. I went through the QOVs I had and selected this one. I loaded it up and had the best time. I need to load it again and quilt the other borders. Sure am pleased with it so far.

And because blogger is not cooperating, here are my arrow head blocks I tried out. It is a flimsy now, thinking about borders.

Here is the back of the QOV. YUM!!!

D Oh and I also completed some dear Jane blocks too. Frog Quilter

Progress

I continued with my railroad crossing blocks this morning. I am so loving the growing top. Lots of different fabrics to look at and remember. Loving the rich colors in these blocks.

Catching Up

This a QOV I quilted last weekend. I started to post it but never finished.





Sweet Lucy snoozing.


Today I have going through piles of stuff like batting scraps, miscellaneous trying to clean up. Hubs installed a new kitchen faucet. The previous one just didn't last. We'll see how long this one goes.

We finished putting together the new patio table and chairs. Then the screened porch needed tidying. Looks really nice. I foresee many days sitting outside in nice comfy chairs. More tomorrow.

Making Blocks With Help

I started making blocks yesterday for the Celtic Solstice Quilt. As of late this morning I completed all the blocks with four patches and spiky stars and a few of the pin wheel blocks. I need to finish the pin wheels blocks and then I can start assembling the top.

Lucy is a block magnet as soon as they are on the floor.











Maestro had to get involved as she didn't want to miss out.





Shortly after these pictures were taken, my blocks were re-arranged willy nilly.

Having fun with the kitties!

Lots of yummy texture

I quilted this top this morning.  I love how textured it is!

Lucy asleep on hubs slippers!

It's All About Purple

My purple string blocks are part of hearts.





To finish this I am thinking about piano keys in different shades of purple and white say 6 to 6.5 inches wide. I've already raided the 2 inch strip bin, next was the 2.5 inch strip bin. I'll be sewing them today

Meet Lucy my new kitty





Her sister and brother need to find homes. The brother is the only one with a tail. This is Maestro.
