2023 in Review

 This year I completed 18 quilts and 10 donation quilts. I machine quilted 3 customer quilts, created countless small sewing projects, and threw some mending in there as well. I also was a part of a block exchange & have my quilt on the frame ready to quilt ( more about this when it’s finished).

It was a good year. Now I am planning on projects for 2024.  This year will entail using scraps as they are piling up!! I have precut fabric in storage containers & more waiting to cut.

May your new year be blessed with peace, piecing, love, & joy.

The Gray Project

 A neighbor requested that a quilt be made from her hubby's 2 Boy Scout neckerchiefs.  I did not want to compromise the items so I designed a quilt utilizing the intact neckerchiefs and added fabric where necessary on the small of the two pieces.  I designed a geometric border in colors to match the neckerchiefs and backed it with flannel.  I machine quilted a stipple pattern in black thread.  The quilt is a generous lap size of 65" x 72". Printed a simple label with my name & date.

Keeping Busy

 Sorry for not posting anything for a while.  I have been busy sewing up a storm making quilts for Sleep In Heavenly Peace.  I chose a simple layout so as to be able to make as many quilts as possible due to the need in our area.  It has been amazing to know that fabric that leans more to the "boy" side has been in short supply through donations etc.  Luckily I had some in my stash.

Hope you are all having a wonderful December, the month where we celebrate the birth of our dear Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Blessings to you and yours at this time and throughout the year.

Here are some photos of the twin size donation quilts that I have made since October 18th to present.  I have been cutting out and planning even more quilts both for donation and for sale.  Idle hands - No Way!
