Hi everyone! I participated in the first Mystery QAL and am again for the second, hosted by Tracy of It’s a T-Sweets Day and Cindy of In a Stitch Quilting. This QAL is fast and fun! And in the last one I won a yard of beautiful fabric, how awesome 😀🎉 I’m sharing the link with …

Mystery QAL Finale

I’m so happy with my finished project for the Mystery Quilt Along, hosted by Tracy of It’s a T-Sweets Day! and Cindy of In a Stitch Quilting.

Mixing it up!

“Rhapsody in Blue” quilt top finished and layers almost all pinned into place....yippee! 🎉 I’m sorting through some mixed fabric emotions.

It helped me feel grounded to continue this project as it could have easily have gone down the UFO path! 🛸 So when I arranged and rearranged the two different …

My Crazy Valentine 🦔 💘

When I saw Tracy of It’s a T-Sweets Day Crazy Quilt Hearts I went ga-ga 😍 over them and had to make a few for myself. Her post has a step by step tutorial with pretty photos. Instead of making a quilt, I am thinking of making little stuffed pillows. 💕 I started by using three …
