St John's on my Mind

 St John's in Canada is a special city and it has so much to see and experience. Color is everywhere and the water scenes delightful. I was needing to make a mini for a trade and alas I liked this so much I kept it and made another mini for my swap partner. It is all free from ruler cut, free sown and free motion quilted. Just a bit of my mind on St John's.  The back was a lucky find in my stash. I remember getting this center piece for free at a QuiltCon a few years back and some left over jelly roll strips just the right colors. It fits the vibe and feel of St John's for sure. I think a return trip is in my future.

Eyes on the Stars Quilt

 Done and corners mitered. Now to fix a small issue in the border where dots do not match well or maybe not fix? This is just a fun piece and it has no home yet. It may even get larger... Love the material and it was fun to make big blocks again.

 Quiltfiction Album QAL.  Quick blocks and fun fabric make for no hassle fun sewing. I love black and red so here is my version of the pattern The “Loves Me, Loves Me Not” pattern, designed by Patty Dudek, includes both throw and baby sizes.

This is the on the design board looking at sashing...this will not be the final look at and so this maybe is not it yet?  Love a design board and all the fun of looking for what feels right. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More later......

 Miata challenge is in full swing. We have done 9 of the 10 and so we are way ahead as this lasts until Oct. 31....but who can resist a great road trip or two...

 Bonnie Hunter mystery is slowly but nicely a fun project. I am never in the race to "win" with being first to finish or maybe I may never finish, but it uses a lot of stash and I always donate it. First two blocks...now have 7 finished. A great time in my sewing studio with other things in between too like mug rugs for gifts and hot pads for gifts.

 Left overs from New Year's Eve dinner of Lobster and Dom...our usual NYE event and this year had 14 people come and  celebrate with us. Now the reward of grilled cheese and lobster sandwich from the left over.  (OK so we always do an extra lob so we can have left overs)  Happy New Year 2023
