How I love a long weekend! I had a wonderful, restful and reflective time with my family and alone as well. And part of that time involved finishing two quilt tops I’ve been planning for a long time. This one uses 36 different “made fabric” blocks...

Well, ALMOST the first. Still have to bind and wash, but I just finished this very dense quilting. I needed to start the year with a project that I really wanted to look at – both as a project to work on and something I wanted to keep (for me!) in our home....

Finished and mailed today for a “star” member of my staff as a thank you for her super-star effort. I hope she likes it! I’ve held onto this Japanese dragonfly and batik fabric for too long. Time to put it to a good use!

A lovely coworker had an emergency appendectomy over the weekend. Anyone I know that has surgery (or has a baby!) gets a quilt from me! So this is my take on a “Guy Quilt.” Easy half square triangle blocks at a very large 14″ each. I challenged...
