Interesting Pattern

This is a pattern I tested for Denise at For the Love of Geese.  I believe she calls it “Twilight”.  I am far from a good paper piecer, however, I love the way this one turned out.  I think I will eventually get the hang of things.  It is mostly fabric I had.  The only thing I purchased was the dark blue grunge border.  I think it has a lot going on.  The blues I used was leftover from a fat quarter pack I think that I got 20 years ago.

20191226_202833I am getting the hang of the longarm.  I still struggle a bit with tension, but I used rulers this time and it came out pretty good.  I am happy with my quilting.  It is starting to look way better.

I do not know what I am going to do with this quilt, I have no plans at this time.  I might just look at it for a while.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Love the new job, although it is kicking my butt.  I am getting too old to learn new things LOL.  I started this post on December 23rd and here we are January 13th.  Jeez, where does time go?  My intent was to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and then the battery on my laptop died and here we are.

Below is the Holiday display (Just took down) that I was going to show you all

Progress…

Sort of an odd-looking block.  I made it from my sister Kellie’s clothes.  I have been looking at the bags of clothes I have that were hers and could not bear cut into them.

I finally did it.  I have four bags and just opened one.  My intent is to make these blocks highlighting something that I remember her wearing.  I hope to put notes in the jeans pockets for my niece and nephew.

Still very hard.  I actually kept a shirt for myself.  I like to wear it because it is hers.  I think these quilts will take a long time to complete.  I will get there.

I miss you all.
