small mat made from 2.5" quilt squares

A Few Finished Projects

Posted on

I’ve been working on some smaller projects this last week. Here is a small mat made from a mini charm pack. I have no idea what the fabric line is but I’m very happy I had some coordinating material in my stash to bind it. It’s now on my nightstand replacing a very ugly mat…

Two finishes

Posted on

This week last week was productive with two finishes! One is a UFO and the other is a current year start.  Having a few long conference calls that didn’t involve video was the secret to my success. Paid attention to the calls but was able to sew binding on while people were talking about things…

What with being home 24/7, worrying about family, friends,  community,  country and indeed the world why worry on a small scale when you can go big, right? Luckily my husband and I are both able to work from homeand so far haven’t been…

Two finished Quilts

Posted on

I finished two quilts yesterday! One with machine binding on both the front and back and one sewing the binding to the front of the quilt and hand sewing it to the back of the quilt. This DOUBLES my UFO finishes from 2 to 4 for the year (plus one non UFO finish)! Not very…
