Wow - it's already Friday, and there is not much to report. There hasn't been much sewing time this week, but there was time with friends and family and that is even better.

A few facts before I go into the next step of the tutorial.
Don't cut off selvages before you make the stratas. The first clean-up cut from the strata tube will trim them off....and you may need 1/8" of the selvage area to get the number of loops you need from a strata tube.
I don't pre-wash regular printed cotton fabrics so I will get more loops per tube than those of you who prewash.
Batiks don't have the wide unusable selvages so you can always get more loops from a batik tube.
You are ...

read moreI bought a random set of strips, not matching at all, in fact I bought 3. It was from these I chose strips for the quilt along. Well I think this quilt is ugly as sin! But I have to admit the more I walk by it, the more it kinda grows on me. It needs another row to be 5x6… and now I am just about ready to start a new project even though I have the last one to quilt, need to find a backing for it I have several on my want to do list
It has taken a while, But my Sue Spargo quilt, Tinsel, has been completed. It didn’t take too long to complete each of the blocks and even sew the blocks together. But when it came to the quilting, I was a bit stumped. It was around the time my machine was playing up and didn’t want to stitch on wool. So it went in the too hard basket. When my machine was back in working order, other priorities had taken over. We all know about that.
Anyway, it finally came out and was completed in no time at ...
read moreThis morning, I couldn't get my rear out of bed till 9 am. I thought it was odd that Patrick didn't let me know he left. Found out why, when I walked into the living room to find him sleeping on the couch. He's stomach wasn't doing good today. I sent him back to bed because I had things to do.
I got laundry going. Washed the new sheets we bought and the sheets from changing the bed. So, I ended up folding 2 sets. Not my favorite thing.
I was cleaning the cat litter, vacuuming ...
read moreHappy Friday, quilters! I have more of the block drive potato chip quilts to show. These first two quilts were assembled by Becky and quilted by Doris. Big thanks to those two ladies!
I love the classic patchwork look of these blocks and Doris did a great job with her quilting, as always.
I'm really fond of this yellow fabric with blue flowers on the backing. I'm pretty certain this is one of the ones my local quilt shop friend gave me when she closed her shop.
Big quilting swirls to complement the blocks.
These last two quilts ...
read moreI stopped at the thrift store when I had a doctor’s appointment. These are the goodies I bought. Most of the things I bought were for finishing cross-stitch. The spools were $1 each. The box was $4. I found another jewelry box. I’ve been looking for another box like this. It was $2. You might …
read moreHello, hello! Welcome To Melva Loves Scraps and Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday! This is the place to celebrate finishes. Maybe it's something that was quick and easy, or maybe... it's something that has been lingering for longer than you planned. Either way, if it's finished... we will celebrate.
Hot Wings and Homicide by Carmela Dutra
This book plunges the reader straight into the chaos and fun of a food festival -- then quickly puts a damper on things with Beth's discovery of her ex's body behind an out of the way building. I missed out on the first book in this series, but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. Beth is up to her ears in a murder investigation while also manning her own food truck (I'm still not entirely sure how she juggled the whole thing) and her twin and her best ...
read moreI have a baby shower later this summer and am in need of a quick baby quilt I can whip up. I have several tried and true go-to patterns but I’m in the mood for something different this time.
I was going through my quilt books and came across the Two Timer pattern in the first Stripology Mixology book. Let’s pull some fabrics out and make a block and see what we think.

read moreIt's Thursday once again and time for things we like. Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more participating blogs. I went for a walk in my neighborhood last week and came upon this mallard swimming peacefully in a rather murky pond. He didn't seem to mind! It was a warm spring day and I think he was enjoying himself!
I'm working on 4 corner blocks on the Whiskers N Catnip quilt. They will measure 12.5" square once they're all sewn together. This is just the middle portion. The ...

read moreWe traveled to western Illinois last month for the funeral of an extended family member. Beautiful country nearing the Mississippi River; rich soil, sprawling acreage dotted with family farms. There was a quilt in the Fellowship Hall there, this one commemorating the church’s 150th anniversary back in 2009. I'm drawn to them. While the guests that day were enjoying a lovely reception of foods

read moreI'm quite pleased that there are a couple finishes to share today.
First finish are these leg warmers. Yes, I know, I know ..... a bit late in the season as we are finally rolling into nicer weather. At least, come fall, these will be ready to wear to help keep my legs warm. There is enough yarn in the big ball, so another pair are ongoing now. Maybe, I just might have two pairs ready to wear come fall? For knitting, I did have to change my usual method to accommodate my hands and this new method works for ...
