A Plus Quilt finish!! and!! Finished ( or not) Friday!

This finish might just be a miracle - it looks like I started this one in May! and can you believe it - I finished it in the same year!!! Oh heck ya!!!

It is all quilted, bound and washed - and I actually took it to my local Hospice already!!!


This was just a fun one to see if I could do it - and I grouped colors together from the charm pack - I've seen a lot of these types of quilts on the internet - and I just thought - I am sure I can do that... and then I learned that sometimes - you should look before leaping haha! 

But ! It all worked out!


I also finished this one up - it was all the leftover blocks from my Raspberry Fizz Quilts - that have already been delivered to Pathways Hospice. This one went with the Plus quilt this week ;-)




The stack of TWELVE Quilts , washed and ready to take to Pathways Hospice in Greeley!!!




Yay for fun finishes!!! and now it is your turn!! Brag away - tell us what you are up to!!!

A Plus Quilt and ..... Finished ( or not) Friday

What a week!!!!

Pig says * Oh Hail*   Now feed me... haha

Monday was spent finishing THE LAST T SHIRT quilt before high school graduation... and of course that meant binding.... I had to psyche myself up for that!!

Tuesday I photographed a family and all the extended family for their Grandmothers 102 birthday!!!

and Grandma.... was amazing - she was SO cute!! She had to talk to the "Photographer" privately... she wanted to make sure I didn't get her cane in the photo - cuz she hates using it... I want to be her!!

Tuesday Night was spent wondering if the windows were going break, and what animals were going to escape in the middle of a torrential HAIL storm!!!


It did not make my night. The lightening was crazy and the downpour flooded us... I live on a hill, and we had standing water and a lake in the arena so you know Wednesday... was spent cleaning up and preparing for round 2 that came Wednesday night. 

The biggest problem with this weather?  I have to unplug all the  machines and the computer - even tho I have a whole house surge protector... I kinda don't believe they will save everything with this type of Lightening.... I had to read.... it was so rough   ( haha!) Just kidding.... I played in the fabric stash...


When everything is unplugged you start to look at your fabric to see what you can start... I found Charm Packs - there were three of the same kind and so....




I tried a yellow background

A blue Background


Pink....


I finally settled on Yellow and made this!!
I think it is about 45 x 50 ish 


NExt up - use the rest of them with the light blue... I did not care for the pink at all...

So thats my week.... 

What have you been up to?

Falling Charms Finish and!! FInished ... Or not!! Friday!!

 Falling Charms is now done! Bound and ready to be seen!!



My Friend gave me a Charm pack and I just wanted to Dig Right in and see what I could do... so - this is what came of it!

My 6'7" son is the one holding it up... and...

its 32" x 32" .... How did he scrunch himself up so small???


I quilted it with Butterflies!!! I just felt we needed some happy Butterflies on this one, since most of the fabrics are Fruity and Florally !! 

Quilt Stats:  32 x 32 inches
Block Size: 7 inchs
Fabric Used:   I still can't see the end of the piles that I stacked ;-)

PS - this photo was taken before our last storm - as of today there is even more snow, and the drifts are bigger than my dog!!! 


Ta -da -  My First Hospice Donations for 2023.. Last year I was able to donate 40 quilts .... I don't have a goal or a plan for 2023- just want to spread a little love when I can.
