You had me at the 60s quilted housecoat.

I did this but added a thin batting to get it to lay flat as the seams weren't flat enough. Also quilted a hash tag to keep it all together. The hash tag fit the irish chain quilt pattern. Just an idea... So cool to use your mom's quilt!!

I'm a 70 year old woman and have worked out in 4 gyms in the last 10 years. People in gyms respect the effort and coming back for more. Never give up. Never surrender.

Thanks so much for sharing, give yourself a big pat on the back! I always celebrate finishing w/ either a great meal or great big hot fudge sundae, so go for it!!

A delicious looking tater tot casserole.

Made a nice midwestern tater tot casserole. Come on over if you’re hungry.

The quilt front, draped over a dark blue couch. It is 8 squares across by 8 squares down, all made with fabric that has that blue-on-white Blue Willow-style pattern. The quilt measures roughly 60"x60". The seams where the squares meet are intentionally frayed and have a fluffy look and feel.

The back of the quilt, draped over a dark blue couch. The lower left corner of the quilt has been folded up so the front is visible. The back is made from a thrifted set of flannel bed sheets that are also in that blue-on-white Blue Willow-style design. The seams where the squares meet are smooth as all the edges are sewn to the front of the quilt. The middle layer of the quilt is also made from the same thrifted flannel bed sheets.

I don't quilt, but for some reason I decided my mother needed a rag quilt. Turned out fine (and she loves it), but cutting ~200 squares drove me up the wall. Will I make another? Not anytime soon. Learned a lot, though, and my already great respect for quilters and their art has only increased.

Love your material, Beautiful!!

A 14-inch sided square quilt block of a paper-pieced snowman. The snowman has a black top hat, carrot nose, red scarf, 3 coal buttons, and 2 stick arms. The eyes and mouth will be embroidered later. There is a bird "hovering" over one of the stick arms (legs to be embroidered later) and a birdhouse "hovering" under the other arm (waiting for a string to be embroidered, attaching it to the stick arm). Several snow covered bushes are on either side. The whole block is surrounded by a red border with yellow blocks in the corners. Pattern is from Beverly Maxvill's block of the month book "A Year of Paper Piecing 12 Sensational Seasonal Designs." This is January's "Mr. Snowman" block. I borrowed it from our library!

The backside of the block, showing paper that needs to be removed.

WIP Wednesday #Quiltsky! I needed a break from the news. Finished piecing my first FPP project. Need to remove the paper, then embroider details. Hoping to mail it Saturday for my parents' door in assisted living. Then jump on February's block, to send it before the start of the month! 🙃

Please share once embroidered🙏 Took one look and my imagination went a couple of different ways. Really want to see what you create. Thanks so much!!

The first block of 9 sheep for a quilt. Pattern is Wooly Stars. All of the sheep will be different colors.

This is so cute!! I saw something like it this gifting season, thought about it but just turned the page. Is the background the same for all blocks?
Thanks for sharing:-)

I’m going to throw a little border around it but feel it’s good enough for tonight, #Quiltsky. This will be a gift quilt for a graduate. #graduationquilt It was a fun make!

Love the quilt. Nothing feels better than finishing. Give your dog a pat for me.

Since my Lions are out, I am pulling for the Bills.

My favorite Christmas quilt wall hanging

I bought this pattern years ago and stuck it in a drawer. I need to get it out and get to work. You did a fabulous job!!

Wish this was an option in Texas...

Amen!!

Thank you for sharing. Looks romantic. I picture a crackling fire and wine:-)

Thanks for sharing, I've been looking at this pattern trying to decide what material I have that would fit. You did a great job!

Wow! So glad it stayed out of the bag. Curves are never easy, Well Done!

It's amazing where you mind can go while needleworking. Seems like writing would go hand in hand.
