Look, a new rug!
I made a run to use in front of the sink in the kitchen. I used old jeans and an old top sheet to create the fabric. I made it like you would make a rag quilt. But, instead of cutting the edges into a fringe, I sewed them down. I have made other rugs like this. I love how easy they are to wash and dry.
UGH! I've been working on some blocks for a block exchange and all of them came out a quarter inch too small on just one side. UGH!
I'm going to keep all those blocks for myself and cut them down to another size. I'm now in the process of cutting out new blocks. Good thing this block was done scrappy and I have plenty of fabric to make another batch of blocks. LOL
I had to do an easy project to get a sense of accomplishment. So, I made this pillowcase with some weird cat fabric I had. Not sure why I bought the fabric. I'm guessing I got a great deal on it. LOL
I have another finish. WooHoo! This quilt was made in memory of my husband's and my trip to Alaska. I picked up a fabric bundle of "Alaska" fabrics at the Quilted Raven quilt shop in Anchorage. And using a simple sashing, pieced them together. I also add a picture of us in Anchorage. It really was an amazing trip.
My father-in-law made me this quilt rack. However, he didn't think about how I would hang the quilt and the rod doesn't come out. So I have added tabs to most of the quilts I make for this area. I happened to come across these curtain hangers that are perfect. So it will make the change out even faster.
These rings are the best!
The November block is done. This is from the 2024 BOM by " A Quilting Life". The free link is gone, but she has a Resource Page here with information if you are interested.
My first finish for 2025, TaDa!
The pattern is called "Hello, Garden" and was designed by Cherri House for Fons & Porter Easy Quilts, Fall of 2012. The pattern uses a jelly roll and it was the first jelly roll I bought in person at Missouri Star Quilt Company many years ago. I wished I had kept the tag that showed what fabric line it was along with who designed the fabric, it's one of my favorite color combos. I love the way it turned out!
When Lorna came out with this pattern, I knew I had to make it. "Catholes" by Sew Fresh Quilts. It just made me laugh out loud! I got it finished and it has been gifted. And it was a success!
