Phew! Finally surfacing after a whirlwind few weeks

I’ve been off-grid but for very good reasons—soaking up the sunshine in Cyprus (highly recommend! ), celebrating my amazing daughter’s graduation (proud-mama moment x1000), and now diving headfirst into school holiday mode with my grandbabies (translation: glitter, giggles, snacks, and maybe a few naps… for me, not them ).

Trying to catch up on all the glorious quilts and posts I’ve missed—so if you see a sudden flurry of likes and comments from me, I promise I’m not stalking… just joyfully binge-scrolling

Delighted to be back in the patchy posse groove again

I've been sewing a little bit more lately. Trying a mountain block using fat quarters that were squared up. 

It's such a large block! I still have a few very large half square triangles and don't want to make the quilt larger so I'm going to make hour glass blocks with those. 

So this is the large mountain block quilt ready for backing and quilting! 

Got everything cut and starting to finish the blocks. 

Finally getting started on a baby quilt! 

has anyone used the phone app quilt geek?

Wanted to share some news with everyone! I have semi-retired from nursing after 47 years! I will continue to work on an as-needed basis for the nursing home and hospice that I was employed with. Not quite ready to stay home all the time though! This week I will go to work with my local sheriff's department on their Senior Citizens patrol! Totally stress free environment! Making wellness checks on the senior citizens in our parish! I have 2 major quilting events coming up. Missouri Star Quilt retreat in February and Paducah Quilt show in April! I don't share a lot on the group but I love it. I read a whole lot and love all of the tutorials! Hoping to be more involved in 2024! Happy New Year!

I'm excited to share a finish!

It's a quilt top - still no long arm, so it will be a minute before it gets truly completed. 

I'm excited though about sewing something and having a finished top!
