Quilt Joy
Do you remember me telling you about my young friend who made a quilt top for her older sister around five years ago? She procrastinated getting it quilted and it just sat in her closet for all this time. It became a family joke that she would never finish the thing and was the source…

Happy 4th of July
Ozzie and I would like to wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July if you live in the US, and a happy Thursday if you don't! We plan to go to a barbecue with the family, and my corn salad that I posted on a week or so ago has been requested. …

Free Half Square Triangles
I have been snagging an hour or so every now and then to work on some blocks I started a few months back. I am trimming off my triangles, but not tossing them. Oh no, this time I am being frugal and turning them into half square triangles. I used to scoff at friends who…

July Table Runner
I thought I would share a quick look at my July table runner. This one was finished in 2018, but quilted fairly recently. I used fabrics from my stash, and a Miss Rosie's Quilt Company pattern called "Recess", which I adapted to be rectangular in shape. It measures 19" x 41". Here is a closer…
