Owned by a golden retriever named Riika and some year-round resident Anna's hummingbirds, with occasional visits in spring of Rufus Hummingbirds. Mostly Tired and Re-tired. Quilting is my favorite hobby now to stay positive, loving and full of gratitude
Flotilla quilt top completed. Yes, I chopped off some points. My friend reassured me though - who needs points. And perhaps I could have used more variety for the small boat sails which look visually solid but if you see them up close they have a bit of print. Celebrating the Sumud flotilla mission.

Ukraine Hearts quilt just came back from long arm quilter (Heidi Rodli, Piece and Joy Quilting Co.). She did a sunflower-ish flower on it. 🥰 She also had a light yellow floral fabric that worked well for backing! Very cheerful. Binding on this afternoon and already hanging in the dining room. 😊

Anna's hummingbird atop lilac during a brief bit of sunshine in a day full of rain, rain and more rain. The sunshine only lasted a few minutes and lit the bird nicely.

A Quilt to Honor Harriet Tubman's legacy. Orange was her favorite color. As conductor on the underground railroad she traveled at night. The use of stars helped reflect that part of her life.
It had to have hearts, because she CARED throughout her entire life.

Open Heart quilt completed with binding on. The pantograph was called "Rouge" and the long arm quilter was Heidi Rodli, Piece and Joy Quilting Co.
Riika approved and she got as close as she could for a photo op. 😊

Heart log cabin quilt top completed with borders. The quilt was made to honor Harriet Tubman. The border of stars was chosen because as a conductor of the underground railroad- she probably traveled at night and depended on stars to help with direction. Orange as her favorite color was a plus. ☺️

Heart log cabin quilt made to honor Harriet Tubman. Orange was her favorite color. Green symbolizes freedom. Red for her life passion to help people. Tiny black square at inside of log cabin symbolizes a safe place.
Now, on to borders. 😉

Penguin Love quilt completed with binding on. I used a flanged binding on this one -the contrast picks up well. I calculated the binding a bit too close for my comfort- I had about a foot of binding left over, but I like a generous margin. (Can you tell who has gotten caught before?) 😊

Penguin Heart quilt back from the long arm quilter (Heidi Rodli, Piece and Joy Quilting Co., Dallas, Ore.) and she used a heart pantograph on this one. ♥️🥰
Now, just need to trim it and add the binding. It came out really cute.

I caught them mid-conversation. Too bad the photo can't impart the sounds also. 😉

[This is a rare event for my yard, I have never seen two on the feeder at the same time until this summer. Possibly a parent/child?]

These pieces shown here were leftover from the kit. I may be able to hang another short one!
The long white metal strips are screwed into the wall (after getting a level line)- then the short bar with the magnets goes on top. Quilt in between. The magnets are REALLY strong😂

Quilt hanging system using magnets!
Just got this installed today (my installer with the thumbs up)
It took a few screws (and a level) - then just put the magnets on top (you can see those silver bars at top)
How cool is that?!🥰
