Christmas Lone Star and a Life Change

Posted on December 27, 2021 | 26 comments

I have pulled out another old UFO…from 199?…to add to my New Year’s Resolutions to-do list.

Okay…so it has been on the Focus list for the last year or so. I really mean to get it done in 2022…no more carrying it to the next year!

It is a Christmas Lone Star and I was quite pleased that more work was done on it than I remembered!

I now have it pin basted and ready for quilting.

And the life change?

I made a scary and exciting decision to retire from the day job!

2022 really will be a new beginning for me!

Happy New Year!

Quilt On!

How I Spent My Saturday Afternoon

Posted on May 17, 2020 | 24 comments

I had a very pleasant Saturday afternoon off from the day job, so I spent the time doing some prep work for sewing.

Bonnie Hunter had a leader/ender bow tie challenge back in 2011. I decided to make this quilt back in 2018 (you can see that post here, and you will find a link to BH). No hurry. Nope. None at all.

I’ve been out of cut squares to make more bow tie blocks, so I cut a few more. I don’t have a picture of those, but I do have a picture of the finished blocks.

There are more than 578 little bow ties in this basket!
