#quilting Due to LE snow, we had a delay and went virtual, so I snuck in a couple more blocks for my rainbow quilt. I think it is looking good.

#quilting Today is my mother's 90th birthday, so I'm going to be short on time the rest of the week getting ready for her open house. Kept it simple and made 2 more disappearing 9 blocks for my rainbow quilt.

#quilting I think this guy is my favorite so far! I'm not even a cat person, and I think it's adorable. It's nice to bounce back and forth between different projects.

#quilting Tonight I attended a meeting of a local quilting group. It was fun to talk shop and share ideas with other quilters IRL. I have some school work to do, so I just did a quick addition to my collection of disappearing 9-blocks. I'm hoping to turn this into A full sized rainbow quilt!

#quilting I precut pieces for several projects yesterday, so I'm going to maintain a goal of 4+ blocks a week (from any of the six projects I've started already this year). I know some weeks I will be manic and sew non-stop, and some weeks I won't feel it, but I think 4 is doable. Today's yeti!

#quilting I am going to keep working on my quilting projects as long as they bring me joy. When I sew the final seam, I get excited knowing that when I press the last time and turn it over, it will be done & be cute.

OFMD has brought a lot of amazing people into my life. However, if we are talking a single memory that stands out, it would have to be Con holding up the bag I'd given him in Chicago the year before during the panel at London MCM, and then him wearing it the ENTIRE weekend. It was surreal.

#quilting Tonight I played around with a new disappearing 9-block pattern that I saw this afternoon. Most of these pieces are offcuts from the butterfly quilt that my sister & I made for my mom last year.

#quilting Tonight I started into some of my Christmas stash. Trying to mix in some of my licensed prints with more traditional fabrics while using from scraps for the bows.

#quilting Tonight I made some cacti. I'm enjoying mixing it up. I don't have the attention span for a single big project right now, so why not start 4 or 5? The logic holds.

#quilting I've decided that this year I am going to share pictures of my projects that bring me joy. If nothing else, I will be able to look back at them in one place at the end of 2026. Today's blocks... More cute dresses using scraps.

#quilting I have 3 days left of Christmas vacation, and I finally had enough downtime to try a new pattern. It wasn't intentional, but I find very fitting that my first block in 2026 is a dumpster fire.

I dropped off some small projects along with some quilt tops for my friend to quilt on her long arm machine. I told her to have fun with the little ones. I love them all! #quilting

I have been busy since Wednesday! Finished a nerdy baby quilt for my newest great nephew, a friendship star/memorial quilt for my friend who recently lost her husband, and then 2 throw quilts made from $1 bags of pre-cut pieces from a garage sale earlier this month.

I got ambitious the other night and decided to make a mini "I Spy" quilt for my great nieces and nephews.
It's a great way to use up my strange pattern scraps.

My summer sewing goal: Every day, I try a new pattern AND finish something from my stack of WIPs. The bag is the new, and the reusable paper towels are 3 out of 22 that are cut. #sewing

Mom loved her Mother's Day present!
This is the 5th quilt my sister and I have made, and I think it is my favorite!

I picked up my quilt from the quilter on Sunday, and I finished the binding this evening. I absolutely love how it turned out. I especially love the musical details in the quilting.
