Puzzling from Becca's Crazy Projects

A friend invited me over for some speed puzzling. This is my finished 300 piece puzzle. I wasn't that speedy (finishing at around 1 hour and 23 minutes). It was a fun exercise and I will attend if invited back. Check out lighthouse puzzles available from Amazon (affiliate link).

I saw this puzzle available from my local gaming shop and thought it might be fun. Turns out, a sea of blue takes quite a bit of time to piece.

This right here is what you call a challenging pair of pieces. Cut nearly identically. Meaning I had a false ...

Sorting Charity Scraps from Becca's Crazy Projects

I keep the scraps I create in this bin. I was having difficulty finding fabrics to pull for a cohesive quilt.

I spent some time sorting fabrics into color families.

From that chaos, I was able to piece this quilt top. It will go to the next Annapolis Quilts for Kids to be paired with some coordinating backing.

My Lord and my God! from Quilt in Piece

“My Lord and my God!” A Reflection for the Feast of St Thomas, Apostle John 20:24–29 Poor Thomas. He’s often remembered by that nickname: “Doubting Thomas.” And yet, when I read this passage, I see someone who was not faithless but deeply honest. Someone who loved Jesus enough to be heartbroken. Someone who longed not only for answers, but for truth he could touch. Thomas wasn’t with the others when Jesus first appeared after the resurrection. We’re not told why. Maybe he needed space to grieve. Maybe he was scared. Maybe he just didn’t ...

I pieced the scrappy blocks for both of these at the same time. Instead of combining the light and dark blocks, I paired them with light and dark prints. This one in pinks.

Fabric Acquisition from Becca's Crazy Projects

Friday afternoon I zipped over to the closest fabric store (they were having a sale) and grabbed some essentials. From the bottom up, backing for my BBMQ, three yards of blue floral because it was in the clearance section, three yards of light gray solid for an unplanned quilt, and four fat eighths. They are like candy in the check out.

I've been trying to decide what my next big quilt project will be.

Odds & Ends from Becca's Crazy Projects

I haven't been sewing as much in the last week or two. I have done some art, like this collection of heart-shaped balloons.

I painted the background on this rock that I painted a heart on more than a year ago.

I took a walk by the pond and saw these turtles stacked up in the sunshine.

And I bought a box of So Fine thread from Superior threads to replace colors I had used up. What have you been up to?
