Trying to find a place to share some thoughts, ideas, and creations. Quilting, gardening, homemaking.
My season has officially begun. Sprouts doing seedling things. Marigolds for my region’s knotty nematodes. Plus Brussels sprouts and broccoli.

After starring at the quilt for a bit I decided it needed borders to float the Carpenter’s Wheel. And now I’m on my way to get pale pink thread from the store.

Think I’m done for the day. All quadrants of the Carpenter’s Wheel are assembled. Tomorrow I’ll sew them all in a top and load it on my longarm.

All rows sewn. Now I’ve started sewing them into pairs. Got one down but feel a bit hungry; so time for lunch.

First row done of the Barbie and pause. Off to scout fabric for the January Sew Together for my guild Tapestry Quilters. We are doing Valentines placemats and maybe a coordinating napkin.

The first of two quilts I’ll be making with the Barbie themed fabrics from my stash is coming together nicely. A few more HSTs of the differing fabrics, then assembly. But not today.

Clearing out the over grown grass from my pineapples bed. I love how they renew themselves by growing new out of the old.

Ugh! I’ve sewn this stack of HSTs in the wrong direction. Fortunately I had extra fabric to cut out replacement squares. So with that error and fix I’m going to stop for the day.

Don’t usually starch my fabric but I used Best Press for this project and these HSTs are coming out like butter.

Stopping point for the day. I’m working on a Star Wars themed quilt. I got all but the white fabric ironed and cut into squares. Until next quilting session at home.

Stopping point for today is this Bleu Irish chain. I’ve trimmed and measured it. I’ve also cut and prepared the binding. Until Monday.

Another guild Sew Day project. Let’s hope in the end it does not look like disorder which has had heat applied to it. (A hot mess)

Loading my bleu Irish chain quilt and whoops! No white batting. Guess I’ll have to wait for some to be delivered tomorrow. Womp. Womp.

Just finished this binding using a template ruler. IMO it is more cumbersome and time consuming than just laying them perpendicular and sewing diagonally from intersection to intersection then trimming.
