Silk Path

Posted on February 2, 2026 | 16 comments

I decided to move the Silk Path project forward, as long as I am in the mood to move things along, even if it is only a small movement.

I searched my own blog, and found that Bonnie Hunter’s Silk Path pattern was my choice for Karen Brown’s Declutter Challenge January 2025.

So, in fine tradition, I started it a year ago, and I am moving it forward a year later.

I left off with these two bags of strip piecing; very happy to be using up scrap stash.

Now I have 61 scrappy blocks.

True to Bonnie Hunter style, there is a lot more piecing to do.

I like what I see.

Have fun and carry on!

Checkerboard Rail Fence

Posted on August 25, 2025 | 10 comments

I began making Bonnie Hunter’s checkerboard rail fence pattern in September 2023 with the idea of using up my stash of hand dyed fabric.

I thought that this project would be colorful and fun.

And it is!

The flimsy was completed in September 2024.

It took a year because I had joined a challenge group and worked through a project a month, so it was often set aside.

That’s okay. This is a hobby, not a job!

It has taken another year to get to the finish line. Partly procrastination. Partly life events (I am so far behind in reading all of the wonderful blog posts by internet friends, but I will get back into the swing of things).

And I have made it to the finish line!

The back is made from more hand dyes…so happy to use them up!

All quilted and bound!

I will wash it to get that wonderful texture that so many of us love!

Golden Peaks Table Runner 2

Posted on April 14, 2025 | 6 comments

Ever since I made a table runner using the Golden Peaks block by Julie Cefalu, of The Crafty Quilter, I have wanted to make an almost matching table runner for the other cabinet in the living room area.

I finally got around to getting it done!
