Little Flimsy Complete

I added another border to this little mix-match of leftovers to make it a more useable size for a baby.  I don't feel like it's "baby" colors, but hopefully it will be snuggly when finished.

I didn't measure it.  I will after it is complete.

Grandma's UFO Embroidery Quilt 1973ish

Still slowly stitching away on Grandma's UFO embroidery quilt from 1973ish.  The binding is only a little over half way done.

Red/White Flower Basket Crib Quilt on the Frame

This weekend I loaded the red/white flower basket crib quilt onto the longarm frame.

I like the way the Circle Lord Baptist Fan is looking on it.  It was going great until I changed a bobbin and ran into a tension problem.  I'm pretty sure my bobbin winder tension somehow threaded itself loose on the tension spring.  I'll have go get that fixed before proceeding.  The plan is to get a little bit quilted after school each night until finished.  Our son doesn't have any after school activities this week, but prom is coming on 5/25.  That will be a big deal...

Slow Sunday Stitching

I don't have much time to stitch on my lunches these days.  I did get started on the binding on my D9P crib quilt.

RSC26 -- Pink

Layer Cake Lattice in pink -- This is a new project.  I started it last week,  4/4/26.  I wanted to use some pink scraps to play along with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I have two 30-gallon totes of pink scraps.  Eight blocks are made.  This quilt will be as big as I can go until the background fabric runs out.  I didn't have 1.5 yards of it like the pattern suggested for the original sized blocks.

I purchased this pattern for the unlimited scrappy combinations and possibilities.  The blocks are supposed to be cut from 10" pieces.  My fabrics are just "chunks of stuff".  I altered the block size just a smidge to make it more Accuquilt friendly.  In the future I might cut some of my scraps into 10" pieces so that I can use the actual pattern measurements.  Once cut, the blocks go together lickety split because there are no seams to match on the blocks!  Woohoo.  I'm not used to working with pieces this large.

Bold Color Hourglass Leftovers

Did you have leftovers after an Easter gathering?  We did.  Yum.  Yesterday after the crowd disbursed I worked on putting these little leftover pieces together.

I turned them into this:

These bold-colored fabrics were left over from a 2014 project called Classic Meets Modern.  It was a quilt along.  These little pieces were all of what was left from this (except I still have some of the background fabric.). Hopefully I'll have enough of the background fabric for sashing and an inner border.  Now that I'm taking a second look at these blocks, I'm starting to like them again.  :)

I don't know what I'll do with the little quilt top that I made with the hourglass pieces.  It only measures    27" x 33" ish.  I'm not really in to wall hangings of this sort.  Maybe it will be a car seat blanket or cover a dresser somewhere.  It certainly doesn't match anything that I can think of.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

I had to move the quilts for binding to a safe area.  Company's coming.

Yep, you saw it already didn't you?  My grandmother's embroidered quilt has a smudge on it!  Looks like someone dripped chili on it on the way to their chair?  Hmmm.  I'm sure I'll get it out.  This quilt only has one side of the binding complete and a partial other side.  It will be a little while longer before it gets washed properly.  I usually work on it while watching Survivor once a week.  Look closer.

The red/white/blue quilts will be in my school bag starting Tuesday.  I'll be subbing in a fourth grade math class until the end of May.  I'm not sure how much stitching time I'll get with this group on my lunch and planning periods.  The third grade math class I had in the beginning of the year surely kept me on my toes.  I barely had time for lunch.  There's grading papers, making copies, entering grades, communicating with parents... Time will go fast.
