Made the granddaughters jumpsuits or overalls.  McCall's pattern M7459.  Nine year old wanted long pants and 7 year old wanted shorts with doggie fabric.  Also made them face masks to match.  They were a hit!!

These applique quilts are so fun.  This is Backyard Birds by Piece O' Cake Designs.  Looks wonky but I think it just dried that way.

Cream and Sugar pattern by it's sew emma patterns.
Took about 3 months to complete.  Used a bundle of dark blues I bought at the Puyallup Quilt show before the shutdown.  Each square was unique and complicated,  a very good challenge for me.  
Finally figured out how to quilt feathers so many feathers on this quilt.  I'm wondering how long before cat puke will appear on the quilt.

I collected fat quarters of red, white and black for several years.  Watched a Missouri Star Quilt Company youtube on how to make a Hunter's Star quilt.  Bought the pattern from them.  I really love black in a quilt.  This was fun to make..........actually every quilt is fun to make.

Walked to the art store and bought a large piece of foam board...........covered it with batting and hung.............my design wall.  Now I can view my works in progress.  One hand applique project and one machine piecing.  Currently working on hand applique little houses from Piece O'Cake pattern book and a Hunter star quilt made from my collection of black and red fat quarters.

Hand Applique couch pillows......using the book, The Raven by Blackbird Designs.  Quilted them on the innova longarm, Betty.




Making pinwheels for the border of my next applique quilt project.  These are very fun to make.  I followed the youtube video by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company.  She has an easy method to make everything.  Easy means much  more fun for me!!


 A Kim Diehl pattern but my own colors.  All scraps.  Fun to make different blocks and I always love houses in a quilt.  I spent extra time ...
