creatively speaking, so many decisions, purple focus, a lovely gift, seeking focus from Not Afraid of Color

 

it's time for this week's creativity round up.... things I worked on rather than finishes this time

I take the RSC challenge to focus on a color each month, to heart. I not only pull out the purple scrap bin, but think about the shades and tints of a color, it's relationship to other colors. 


I did finish this month's hexie block in purple. It's so satisfying to finish the block press it and see it all together. It starts with choosing the shades and fabric patterns, which ones to put next to the others ...

What Kelli is Making: Funfetti Chex Mix from Jo's Country Junction

Kelli has been trying to come over to my house once a week over the summer. It’s great, I get to see the kiddos, and they get some cousin time with my daughter Kalissa’s boys. Kelli brought goodies to make these Funfetti Chex Mix treats. Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to make them. It …

Yellow and Green, and some Purple too. from The Cozy Quilter

Purple is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour this month. I was not sure if I had enough 2.5" squares to make six blocks--my purple stash is sparse, but I managed to get my blocks done without getting a friend to donate some scraps to my project.  I have 48 blocks made so far--this might be enough. I will have to lay them out and see how they look.  


My sewing time this week has been spent working on the yellow and green potato chip quilt.  This quilt will be donated to the nursing home where my MIL lives for ...

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. What a fabulous day we had yesterday! I took so many pictures it isn't even funny. We'll be moving on today, and so I'm going to have to split my post about yesterday's activities over two days. Today I'll tell you about the national park. In tomorrow's post, I'll tell you about Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark. And, yes, we made it all the way! I was prepared to be disappointed about not making it all the way on McCarthy Road (the notoriously bad road), but I also knew ...

July 20: Psalm 23:4, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



Hello there!
Thank you for visiting today!  I missed posting last week as we were in San Diego visiting Mama and Daddy.  Daddy is now in hospice, but I'm aware that many people live for years at this stage, so I'm still praying for a miracle. Thankfully, except for the expected decline, they are stable.   I'll take stable any day of the week!  

In this week's post, I'm returning to lessons learned from the classic, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller, who was a shepherd himself, thus enriching this study.  Chapter ...

Little Things Become Big Things! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


I've given updates here and there on what has been happening with the bricks from the wall that fell thanks to Hurricane Helene last year.

Our son Jeff is a wonderful landscaper and his specialty is hardscaping patios, porches, extensions, outdoor kitchens, planter containers and more.

We've been extremely lucky that he has given his time and talents to improving the yard at Quiltville Inn using the old wall bricks to outline bushes and planter areas, and he finished up this little eye sore yesterday.

Working on a UFO from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

It's kind of nice to have some "spare" time to do nothing. LOL -- that never happens in my life, but I'm technically on vacation, even though I have loads of stuff that needs to be done and there's stuff that I should be doing now, like ordering a couple of things I need for my upcoming vacation. I'm going to try to make that happen this morning. 

My 2019 Corolla had a safety feature that prevented the car from moving without the seatbelt being fastened, and I thought it was a strange feature. Our new vehicle ...

RSC25 - Week #29 from My Sewing Room

First of all - I'm not 100% sure anymore what number of week this is.  I noticed that in June I had said it was Week #24 - TWICE!!  That means we're further into 2025 than I thought. Yikes!!!  It's flying by isn't it?


One more RSC set of blocks has become a flimsy.  I'm really tickled with how this one turned out.  A rainbow of scraps can become a really beautiful quilt.  The Buckeye Beauty blocks are known by a few different names.  I do believe these blocks have become one of my favorite blocks this ...

Purple and Teal from Romany Quilting

 It was time to stitch up my purple block for Rainbow Scrap Challenge for my boy's donation quilt - that was easily done.  I laid them out on the bed and had a count and discovered I only needed one more block.  So I made an executive decision and made the final block, this time in teal.  Surely the colour teal will be selected in the next month or two, I reasoned.


Purple and teal blocks

With these two last blocks done, I decided I may as well  assemble the quilt top.  I don't have room for  a design ...

Not much to show................... from Exuberant Color


There isn't much to show for yesterday but it was a busy day.  This is about an hour and a half's ironing.  The stack at the top is large enough for 3.5" squares or 3.5 x 6.5" rectangles.  The bottom stack is for 2.5" squares and 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles, and maybe some 2" squares  from the longer strips.

After lunch was my second PT session and it is helping.  I have a good therapist and she is training another person so I get to hear everything explained.  That doesn't mean ...

Today, I’m still playing catch-up, so today I’m telling you about November of 2014.  We had a quilt featured on Moda Bake Shop. …

Physical Therapy, Olympia And Out To Eat from Quilting My Way

Today was another busy day. Patrick was off to Olympia for his appointment. Then I was off to my Physical Therapy appointment. By the time I came back, Patrick was home, and I had 20 minutes to get ready for another trip to Olympia for our appointments. Patrick had his MRI and CAT scans, while I had a mammogram and possible ultrasound. 

We were early in Olympia, so I ended up waiting 30 minutes for Cindy to find me. She picked up the 2 quilts we had in question. We talked about this. I showed her the problems with the ...

Saturday Sparks Link Party 677 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 677!

Starting off today's party with an unexpected guest!


It's always a treat to see what our 'window into the wild' brings us.

 On this particular day, this pair of deer were wandering from one place to the next.

I snapped a few pictures and went about my day.

As I went through my camera roll, I discovered a sweet surprise.

Our resident baby porcupine had photobombed the scene.

Well played - little one, well played!

"Simplicity is natures first step and the last of art. "

Now, onto the party,
