A year in quick review

I know I haven't posted in a long while.  My mom has been asking about it.  So here is a quick post with some of what I've been up to in the last year.
This quilt is Radical Rose and Reel - pattern by http://collectorwithaneedle.blogspot.com/  I finished handquilting it in May 2022.
Surprisingly it wanted green binding.
I always like to quilt in the date and my initials :0)


I finished this quilt just this week.  I took some pictures of it out in the yard today.  There is no pattern - it developed as a way to use my collection of 1 1/2 inch squares.  It had been tucked away in the ufo bin for a long while.  I decided to finish it and gift it to my sister.  I hope she likes it!
I machine quilted it with feathers and straight line quilting.  It should be nice and cozy with a flannel backing.  
Extra long to cover tall people!

This is another project I finished recently from the ufo bin.  A little table topper project from a guild night.  I quilted similar machine feathers on it.

This quilt was made in a week!  My second oldest daughter wanted to make a T-shirt quilt from her camp T-shirts.  I did most of the cutting, she did all of the sewing.  I did all of the machine quilting in just one day.  Lots of whimsical free motion quilting.  The backing was brought around to the front for binding - a super quick way to get something bound. 

Last week I also made a new bike bag for myself.  I had an old bag given to me as a gift - I had used it for years.  It was time for a new one - with zippers - so I don't lose important stuff...

 There have been other projects worked on in the last year.  I will try to share them as they become finishes.  Thanks for still being here!


Happy Quilting!!
