Spring snow?

This will teach me not to mention the fact that I opened windows and let spring in this past weekend.

At least I have another chance to build a snowman, albeit a rather small one.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Oldie but goodie

4-patches set on point with muslin sashing and borders.

Using 2" squares of every color, but especially the really ugly ones.

and last but not least, a binding of leftovers.

Nothing could be simpler.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Another treasure

From the Quilt Study Center.

Measuring 40 x 43 inches, this gem is believed to have been made in Haven, Kansas between 1930 - 1950 by a Mrs. Amos Bontrager.

What a lovely example of small pieces and possibilities.

(And don't you just love the binding!)

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Colors of summer . . . always inspiring

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

The Ladder Project

Orchard ladders are made to fit snugly against the tree, thus the taper at the top. This one is made of 2 sections that interlock in the middle. When assembled it stands 12 feet high.

My lucky find came from the thrift shop for $8.00 after looking for about 3 months. The quilts, now they took a bit longer and date back to 1986. Yup, some projects are definitely worth waiting for.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
