Jenny of Elefantz Designs posted a tutorial on making a cute string bag.
When I was a young girl, my Momma kept a large cone of string in the kitchen. I don’t know what she used it for, but her four daughters used a lot of it playing Cat’s Cradle.
I had to make Jenny’s bag!
I won’t be playing Cat’s Cradle with my sisters, but I will be using that handy string for such things as tying up tomato plants.
Thanks Jenny!

In a previous post, I shared that Border Creek Station sponsors a Stash Buster Challenge every year. This year the challenge block is a fun and versatile Jericho Walls variation.
I’ve managed to make 19 blocks total. I made a small wall hanging (or large table topper) that is marinating in the quilting queue, and these two patriotic table runners.
Why two sizes of table runners? I have two sizes of cabinets, that’s why.
This large cabinet sits in the living room.
And this cabinet is between the dining and living rooms (which is one large space in my house).
If you are looking for an easy block to make projects, consider giving Jericho Walls variation a try. There is a Facebook page with a whole lot of encouragement and inspiration to see; in case you need it!
Just check out the first link below!
Stash Busters 2022 Challenge Update
Quilt On!
I took an impulsive week to the coast to visit my son and fam (Oh, how I love retirement!), so I wasn’t sure that I was going to meet my May goal.
I got home late yesterday afternoon, and spent today catching up. I am happy to say that all of May’s 365 Challenge blocks are completed! No falling behind!
January completed blocks.
February completed blocks.
March completed blocks.
April completed blocks.
I did take a hand project with me when I went to the coast. Remember this?:
Garden Baskets Update and a Gif
Garden Baskets and Iris Update 5
I finished hand stitching the buds. Now all I need to do is stitch approximately 300 leaves and buds to the quilt top. Ha!
Instead of taking the freeway home, Hubby and I like to take an alternate route. It is much more scenic, so here are a few photos for enjoyment.
