Finished (or not) Friday from My Sewing Room

There are no actual finishes to report, but there are some "nearly" finishes. 


 Because lately I've been working my way through some bags/bins/drawers full of scraps as I do some reorganizing . . . it felt right to just USE some of the things I had set aside.  Two placemats and a doll quilt are sewn, quilted, with binding attached.  These should be quick finishes in coming evenings. 
 

I kitted up a couple of new projects, using Villa Rosa patterns I already had and sets of fat quarters that were languishing on a shelf waiting to become something.  Even though ...

Deceptively Simple: Stonefields Blocks 28 + 29 "Paper Flowers"Quilt Decor, Stonefields Paper Flowers Appliqué Prep + Hexie Basti... from Cheeky Cognoscenti

 Alright, y'all -- I finally finished those two little appliqué blocks for my Stonefields quilt that I was prepping at the end of May, and good riddance to them!  Behold, my design wall displaying meager progress:


29 Blocks Completed for Stonefields Sampler Quilt by Susan Smith


Stitching the stems was fine, but needle turning these flower shapes was a wretched and miserable stitching plan that I regretted almost immediately.  

I have a happy little snippet of renovation progress to share today!  Behold, my in-progress laundry room.  Can you tell a quilter lives here?


Limestone Mosaic Installed Over Laundry Sink

Sorting scraps...................... from Exuberant Color


There were 2 project boxes full of Kaffe collective scraps plus a pile I had collected in the basement.  This is a 12" x 12" project box opened, with strips in the left side.  On the lid on the right is a bag of scraps large enough to cut 2.5" squares, a bag of tiny scraps, and a bag of scraps with a seam, cut offs from projects.  I have no interest in working with these.  I have too much yardage calling my name right now.  The good news though is that it is sorted and hopefully I can ...

Becoming People of Peace in an Anxious World from Quilt in Piece

We are living in anxious times. Many people are carrying more than they say. There is tension in our country, tension in our communities, tension in families, and often tension within our own hearts. We hear rumours, warnings, angry words, political noise, economic fears, and stories of violence. Even when nothing has happened directly to us, our bodies can still carry the weight of it. We become alert, guarded, tired, and sometimes suspicious of one another. Into this kind of world, the call of Christ does not ask us to pretend that everything is fine. Christian peace does not grow ...

Free Pattern Friday from Quarter-Inch Capers

I was browsing different websites looking for layer cake patterns. I have some I have had a while that need to be used. I tend to like the Robert Kauffman patterns. They are easy, but they are also eye-catching. This one caught my interest:


It would be perfect for squares you don’t want to chop up too much. I was thinking about my Kaffe Fasset squares. The only thing I’m not liking is that the quilt finishes 40” x 50”. To me, that’s a little small. Anyway, the pattern is here. I like the graphic appeal of ...

A face or two for Friday from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

Friday is the day Nicole hosts the Friday Face Off,  so I have a couple of "faces" to share today. 


I took some fabric that I bought in Mexico several years ago. It is a bordered fabric and I like the other part far more than the part with the white background.  Of course I kept the part with the white thinking "I may find a use for it someday."   One of the "themes" I have in my altered book is flowers and wildflowers.  So, I cut up the pieces to collage into my book. 
Here is the layout

Cross Stitch Update: July 3, 2026 from Jo's Country Junction

I didn’t get much cross-stitching in this week. I had the grandkids three of the days this week. I had doctor appointments two of the day and a dance recital in there too. I keep telling myself that once I get to the 4th of July, things will slow down. Fingers crossed. I grabbed my …

en Reading} The Video Store Massacre from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

The Video Store Massacre by Michael Grimala

A group of middle school students secretly meets in the projection booth of an abandoned drive in theater to watch tapes from the local video store. Their imaginations fueled by gory movies and back issues of Fangoria, the four kids hope to film nightmares of their own and once they find an old film camera buried in the woods, there's nothing to stop them. This is a fast paced, nostalgic read that feels almost straight out of the 1980s (except it's actually set in 1994, which explains a few of what ...

Kelly's Quilts from Kat & Cat Quilts

Happy Friday, quilters! I've got a great batch of quilts to show you today sent in by Kelly. I'm starting it off with my favorite one of the batch. 

Bright colors, narrow geometric piecing, and straight line quilting! This one's right up my alley.

All these quilts are great, though, as you will see. Huge thanks for Kelly for her generous support.

I can't believe we're into July already, can you? Our garden has been pretty puny this year, a bad combination of rain and heat. We are at least getting nice watermelons that came ...

Third Days Later - UGH from Quilting My Way

 The last couple days of just trying to behave have been hard. Since the bandage is off, it's a lot harder than one thinks to not do what we usually do. Even though I'm left-handed, I didn't realize how much I use my right-hand. 

So, I THOUGHT I might be able to do some beading. 

I worked by putting the beads out that I would need and not do them all. Then I set up a row to bead. 


One row added to Sophie. Now we can see the noise. I couldn't do any more to ...

Doctor Report from Jo's Country Junction

Last week, on Friday, I went to Iowa City and had all of my scans and MRIs done. It’s a long process. I almost break out laughing every time a tech asks me if I’ve had a scan before. Because YES. Yes, I have. I’ve had thyroid cancer since 2016. To get this far, I’ve …

I Like Thursday # 512 Summer, flowers, fireworks from Not Afraid of Color

 

alfie, July 1 2026, laughing!

Welcome to this week's list of likes, starting with my puppy Alfie, 2 years old, and is developing a real sense of humor! He is greeting human friends now without prompting, and today greeted a schnauzer while out on a walk. 

Speaking of walks, a few pictures

the weather is hot, so when I see gathering clouds, it's a cause for celebration! I love the rays of turquoise and the white tinged clouds in this photo

usually it's blazing hot intense sun of high altitudes here, creating mighty shadows
