Jan

Beautiful!
I'm working on my first chandelier quilt and want to add something to the top and bottom to make it just a little bigger and this is perfect!! Now I just need to figure out how to do it. 😜

Oh, I know! I hate when I've read something and get a picture of a character only to have them or a storyline completed changed. One of my friends refuses to watch the Outlander show because of that.

We have similar tastes! I'm listening to Famous Last Words right now and have read a bunch of these!
Finlay and Veronica crack.me.up!

It's a beautiful day outside and here I am, inside, chain-piecing some random scrap animation fabric for another quilt top that will end up in the pile of other quilt tops. 🙄
Choosing/cutting/piecing backings stresses me out!

Meanwhile, I'm trimming HSTs listening to an audiobook about a murder in 1832. 😂

Pile of various scraps of half-square triangles in need of trimming.

Piles of scraps sorted by color family.

Stacks of half-square triangles ready to be trimmed to 1.5 or 2.5 inch squares.

Stacks of half-square triangles ready to be trimmed with the Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer.

Finding any excuse to not do the quilt sandwich process. Figured I'd tackle my leader/ender basket today.

Pam Bondi and “her Justice Department” are the most unjust department since it’s inception

It's so cute! I hate when that happens. I have so many first-time-nope projects because they ended up smaller than I'd hoped.

Quilted phone cozy/pouch made from Beauty & the Beast and Winnie the Pooh fabrics.

My daughter's new phone won't fit in the small pocket of her backpack. She is worried about it getting scratched & asked if I could make her a pouch to keep it safe in the main part of her backpack. She picked the fabric for me to use.

I've been playing since the start. Level 1061. 😜

🔥 CROCKETT: “Facts matter.”

Finished this today. I failed the dare. 😢

The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.

January quilt blocks for the #booksyblockproject by Ritual Quilt Company are done! I actually had 2 more books that I opted not to do. Perhaps I'll make them if I need filler at the end of the project.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

I only table-baste now. The floor was getting waaaaay too difficult.

Even before reading your post, I saw what I *think* you were intending and I absolutely love it!

So close to getting all of the January blocks done for the #booksyblockproject. Hope I can at least *some* of February done actually IN February!

Happy Valentine's Day to the person who thought they'd have another week to wait for this book. You're welcome.

A temperature quilt is on my bucket list. There are so many clever ideas out there! As long as I can keep on top of it, I'd love to keep doing these while also working on others. I have so many WIPs right now! 🤪

I do the same. I'm going to try to power through. If I can get January caught up and then do each block as I'm reading/listening, I can probably manage it. It also will depend on the level of upcoming blocks since I'm a "confident beginner" at this point. 😉

LOL Okay, okay!
Cripes almighty, can you come over and motivate me to do the laundry and declutter?!

I may have to rethink things and pick 1 or 2 to represent the month. But, I mean, how cool would it be to have a block for EVERY book I read for the year?! Pattern for Block 2 has been released now and I'm behind schedule.
I'm so torn!

First 2 quilt blocks for January books are done for the #booksyblockproject hosted by Ritual Quilt Company. I'm going to have to make some blocks smaller than pattern states because I have 12 to do just for the first month!

Agreed. I liked some of her others much better.
Yes, I keep looking at all the blocks on IG and I'm itching to get started!

Love it! (Love Lisa Jewell, too!) I'm so excited to do this project! I'm trying to figure out what size to make my blocks since last year's books=107. Maybe I'll do some 6" blocks and some 3" and mix 'em up. I need to go through my scraps and see what I have to do the books from this month.
