Finished quilt…
D requested the black sashing with yellow (perle cotton) stitching to simulate roads…. I pieced the back with the leftover big pieces…. It’s not super noticeable, because I switched thread color A LOT, but each block is FMQ’ed differently… sort of a practice sampler for me… the different quilting is most noticeable from the back, but […]
A little boy quilt
I always have lots of scraps (sometimes lots of actual yardage) leftover after I make a quilt top for Robert Kaufman, so I decided to use some of the smaller scraps to make a quilt for the boy I am gestating right now… here’s the view looking down right now…. the Bean “helped” me whip […]

More Beach School sewing…
Tangerine Tango WIP
I don’t think I’ll meet the March deadline for the Tangerine Tango Challenge, but I’m having fun working with these paper pieced bits. I wasn’t sure I’d like it, because basting isn’t super fun, but I’ve got a bunch basted now, and I like whip stitching them together, and I LOVE taking out the basting […]
Ty Pennington pillowcases (finally)
I finally got around to sewing pillowcases for our bed (per C’s christmas request) this morning. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long, since all 5 were made in under an hour… Killian gave them his full approval, I assume, since he slept on them ALL day. Of course, he “supervised” all of […]
