This week I have binding to work on! I finally quilted this quilt, which was finished in 2024. I will also be working on more of the Fish School Blocks. Need a few more to get to the size that I want.

Have a great week!

We also had a family dinner one night with a wonderful cake. I also had some great time just hanging out with Mom. It was a really great trip!

Happy 88 Mom!

This week I will be working on the Fish School blocks. Not sure how far I will get as I leave tomorrow for California to visit family. It is my Mom's 88 birthday and we are all getting together. I will bring along more applique to work on while we are visiting.

This week I am prepping more blocks for my Mystic Garden UFO. Preppin applique is always a slow process. I will also be finishing up a couple more tablerunners for the Quilt show Boutique that is coming up in just a couple of weeks. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. 
Have a great week!

Stash Report


No posts last week as we were in Texas, visiting Brenda Papadakis of Dear Jane fame. She recently moved and we were able to visit her in her new home. It was great to see her and catch up on all that she has been doing. We also caught up with a couple of fellow Janiacs, Pat and Joanne. So good to see everyone.

Brenda, Joanne, me and Pat.

And of course, while in Texas we visited a wonderful quilt shop called Fiberworx Fabric Studio in McQueeney Texas. This was a wonderful shop with lots of panels, and some great fabric lines. Of course I ended up buying the pattern above and fabrics below. This will be for the 250 Birthday quilt that I want to make.



Yes a big add to the stash, but I hope to use these up soon as they are on my cutting table ready to go!

Used this week: 0 yards.
Used YTD: 33 yards.
