Odds and Ends

Leaf of the Week!

It's nice to have a friend whose grandkids are outgrowing her toys just as your grandkids are growing into them! 🥰

If you need a book, come check out my Little Free Library!  I just put Horse in there - I really enjoyed it.  Now I feel like I really need to go see a horse race 😂

Check out those cowboy boots!!

And Happy 89th Birthday to my Dad!! ❤️🥳

Numbers One and Four for me - how about you??

 

Library Quilt Show

My husband grew up in a small town in Wyoming and this past weekend we went there for his 50th high school class reunion.  We had a great time and he was able to catch up with a lot of old friends.  While waiting for him during one activity I went into the library and they just happened to have a quilt show going on!  Lucky me!  Here are the quilts that were on display 😊

 

Little Bits

Had a lovely get together with the Little Bits today, including Annie (sitting at the head of the table) who is 97 years young!  She is an inspiration to us all!

Some wonderful Show and Tell!

Paula, above and Leota, below...

Sherida made the cat!

And Bobbi's embroidery is stunning 😮❤️

Need a book to beat the summer heat?  Come on over to my Little Free Library!  Got some good ones in there! 😊

 

Sarah Fielke Quilt

My friend Rena is working on this beautiful Sarah Fielke quilt.  She has one more border to go - it's really stunning!

Kilkee Cliff Walk - absolutely amazing 🥰☘️🇨🇮

Yes and yes 😂

Cute little business in all the right colors!

Happy 4th of July - have a fun and safe weekend!! 🇺🇸 ❤️

 

Top Done (almost)!

I got the quilt top put together but still need to put the borders on!

The picturesque Kylemore Abbey

I love the four different marbles from each of the four provinces of Ireland.

Aughnanure Castle

A windy and rainy day for a walk along the Cliffs of Moher - absolutely beautiful though....

 

Book Pillows

My friend Pam, who does machine embroidery, made the cutest book pillows!!  Cute gifts 😊  I love the one Becky made me last Christmas!!

 

A Break ...

A little break from boring vacation photos 😂

I started a new quilt!  I've been eyeing Jennifer Sampou's log cabin patterns with her ombre fabrics for awhile now and I finally broke down and bought the pattern and some fabric to make one!  After making the first two blocks (I had to unstitch and re-do half of one of them), things are going a little bit smoother now.  I love the fabric - this lavender deepens to a dark purple as you go along the 42 inch length.  It's like having multiple colors in one piece, which hopefully will make the quilt much more interesting (if I do it right!)

Eight of the 16 blocks need to be high contrast like this one.

I stitched Leaf #26 this morning!  That means we're already half way through 2025!  🤪  If it looks like my tree isn't half way done, it's because I added a few more than the 52 leaves.

Happy Quilting!!
