If you'd like to be featured, please let me know in the comments or at mary.marcotte@gmail.com.

What I've been calling kaleidoscope seems to be "one block wonder" quilts. I can't imagine why because they certainly look like kaleidoscopes. Regardless of what we call them, they are a wonder to watch unfold.
We all remember the kaleidoscopes of our youth--the tubes that had a hole to peek into. You'd turn the tube and the colors and designs would change. If like me, you had to share one with seven sisters, your biggest fear was that it would run out of designs. Not that I didn't share, but I did fret. (I was a ... read more
Pins I've been reviewing or pinning:
I got only a glimpse because I was driving and this particular overpass makes a serious curve away from the setting sun. Nevertheless, I shared a spectacular moment with Courtney. She has dementia, so every lucid moment is important.
As we drove along, she kept looking back and naming the colors in the sky and I enjoyed the few minutes that she was able to verbalize the ... read more
I was at a total loss for this week's SQI. So I decided to let the fates and Pinterest help me out. I chose the number five. Then I opened my Pinterest app and looked at the fifth item on my feed. I got lucky! It's this pretty building. I immediately focused on that coral. So, coral it is. Yes, life can be that easy.
This is a late PIW, and I apologize for that. I've been quilting, though! So, no pins from me this week. Here's what some followers are finding. Let's start with Marie Dunn, who has some pretty modern quilts pinned.

One of my most popular posts is this one on buttons. Interestingly, just yesterday (which was Sunday, I'm a day late posting) I found a place to exhibit the quilt mentioned in that post. Anyway I thought it serendipitous enough to pull another SQI from the idea. So, first a few buttons from this board....
Yay! We made it! 300 PIW posts! And, yes, still pinning. Want to know the stats? Go here. Want to see what's pinning? Stay for a spell.
Wow! Did you see that number up there? 299! That means 300 by the end of the year. Are you impressed?

Pin It Weekly time! Last week we met a couple of new followers. Let's meet a few more....
First a hello to Donna Farquhar. She has over 400 pins on vintage fashion ideas from patterns to photos. I'll have to go back for a visit, she's given me an idea for another board... 'cause, you know, 180 would not suffice.
It's been a minute since we've met new followers. Here's Salma Shehada and her board on rugs and rug making.
These pins are from Amber Rush Moore's Quilts of Valor--a nod to this week's Veteran's Day. Thanks Amber!

My apologies for being late, but hey, take note: PIW is about to turn 300! I'm thrilled because 300 PIW posts means over five years of Pin It Weekly. Doesn't that impress you just a bit? So here's what I've pinned to "heart, quilts" lately.
One of my most popular SQI posts is from this one back in 2013. I thought that since it's a favorite, we could revisit the idea. So, the idea is the same; the pictures are updated. Let's start with creative ways to use buttons.
