Monday Evening Star Count

My traveling quilt is my Summer project.  I can take it to our cottage and easily stitch while the girls swim.

I'm up to 52 stars with no real plan in place.  Each star is from scraps of quilts I've made.  There will not be any duplicates.



These were added this weekend.








Snapshots

I've had the quilt kit but hadn't cut into t until last week...I'm not sure why I waited. I'm in love 😊

Christmas Sewing

I needed something quick and easy to sew and had purchased a layer cake from Bunnyhill Designs and the Me and My Sister Designs Makin' it Cute Mitten pattern.  I was able to make 3 mittens from 2 slices of the layer cake...add a little ribbon and you have a perfect little ornament.

My first mini

I finished my first mini quilt and it definitely won't be my last.  This was a gift for my grandma on her 87th birthday yeaterday.  She lives in a nursing home so we have to be careful of how much stuff she has and how big it is.



The fabric is Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille and the pattern is by Thimble Blossoms.

Some more Swoon


I finished my blocks tonight.  Here are two of the last three...I need to take a photo of the missing block but the lighting is terrible right now.



I have fabric to make myself a quilt as well and originally was going to make the same pattern.  Instead I'm going to make Swoon Sixteen.  I had to order an extra 1.5 yards to sash the block since I didn't want to sash in white.

Art Gallery Quilt

I made an EPP kit for my friend and add scraps of fabric to it whenever I make a quilt.  As a thank you she purchased a yummy fat quarter stack of Art Gallery fabrics for me.  The stack came with a pattern and I added some fabric to make it a bit bigger.

I love the almost silky feel of Art Gallery fabrics.  The backing is quite possibly one of my all time favorites.



My quilt holder wanted her own photo op since she stood out in the rain so I could get some photos.


I was hoping for some good river photos but it is a rainy gloomy Memorial Day.
