Sunday's Stuff

 I spent the majority of the day longarming a customer quilt. I did, though, fit in one more Checkerboard block before collapsing for the day.

I've had this idea to make a Checkboard quilt from my left-over (Jen Kingwell) Lollies fabrics, but when the green Lollies were released, well, that was what I was going to do with THAT bundle! I found the perfect green for the background and got to work.

I've been making these blocks for a few months now (a filler project), and now I have 21 of them.  I'll need 25 total for an 82" square quilt.  I like it a lot, and still want to use my other Lollie leftovers to make a second one.

No I didn't cut all these 2 1/2" squares (although that would be a piece of cake with the Stripology ruler). I used 1/2 WOF strips of the Lollies and the background, sewed those together then subcut into 2 1/2" seqments.

Anyway - here's the Green Lollie block:

Just 4 more to go!

Stay friendly!

Smooches.

Some recent stuff

I need some eye candy here, so I may as well post some of the quilts I’ve been doing.  This is “What’s for Dinner?” (Totally self explanatory). It started with the Potato Chip Block, and just grew from there. No pattern, just made it up as I went. I’ve been collecting food fabrics for many years, and I’ve made a number of food quilts in the past. This was a good opportunity to use even more of the foodies laying around in my stash.

What I discovered along the way:

The Potato Chip blocks don't look good next to each other.

Sashing helped.

Adding the 4-patches helped even more.

The quilt is 92" square, so I haven't had a chance to take a full-frontal photo yet (and I take terrible photos!)

Enjoy!

Stay friendly!

Smooches! 

It’s Been a Busy Eight Years

 I bought a Longarm business, then sold it during Covid. Got Covid, but not bad. Recovered. Bought a Longarm (Gammill Statler).  Plunked it right in the middle of my living room.  And kept on making quilts the whole time.  Now I have a quilting house with a sleeping nook.  No need to even attempt to “catch up”.  Onward!

I have been wanting to try out the Dream Tangles quilting set from Sweet Dreams.  Finally did it, and I just love it! The pictures are pretty wonky, but you’ll get the general idea.

This post is to refamiliarize myself with how the blog works so I can help my friend Josephine with her blog. See all her lovely stuff here —>  Her blog (Who knew, that with all the other options available to us these days, we’d revert to blogger? 🤭

So this is where I am.  Again.  Because most social media sites have become flaming train wrecks. 

 Stay friendly! 

Smooches.
