I have a one of a kind small blanket/lovey for sale. It’s 29.5” square. The back fabric is rainbow My Little Pony cotton. The center is a cool rainbow Minky. I even stitched them together using rainbow thread. I only have one so please let’s find it a good home! I’m asking $50 plus shipping. I’m in the US. Would prefer to ship within the US. Send me a message if you’re interested.

I was trying to get a photo of all of my baby crested geckos on my hand and I managed to get very lucky with my timing, this is quite possibly the funniest photo I’ve ever taken.

I was able to gift the swan quilt I made for my soon to be born great niece. The pattern is by Poppie Cotton called Swan Song. While I loved the finished quilt, the pattern had EIGHT errors!! I did send an email to the pattern designer who said she would correct them but I haven’t checked the website to be sure yet. My friend, Kailie of Threadiculous Quilting Co did the quilting. She is open if anyone needs a quilt long arm quilted I can make that happen!! She has a quick turn around time and reasonable rates! Now for the photos!!!!

I did a flange binding and was so pleased with how that looked on the quilt too. You can see it in the photo below. This is how I gifted it. With a swan from Lambs and Ivy and the cutest basket I found the Dollar Tree. There were homemade burp cloths under the swan too.

I would love to hear what you think of this one!

Credit card companies will TRY to saddle you with this kind of debt by the way - if ever a loved one dies and you are not co-signed on their credit card, do NOT agree to pay their debt unless you ask a lawyer first if you truly have to.

They will say “don’t you want them to go to the grave without debt”, they will try to guilt you, they will take advantage of your vulnerability.

Source: when my father died, he had some credit cards that my mom wasn’t on that she had no access to. The companies contacted her while she was sorting through the bills and getting a handle on how to run the house alone, badgering her with his credit card debt.

She wasn’t liable for any of it, but if she had ever agreed to pay before finding out that she didn’t need to, she would have been considered to have taken on his debt and would have HAD to pay it. It’s slimy, it’s predatory, and it’s entirely legal for them to do this.

Never accept the credit card company’s word about your obligation to pay anyone else’s debt, if you don’t have access to the card, ask a lawyer before agreeing to anything.

The quilt top is done. Finished it a couple nights ago. I’ve been doing the top stitching here and there. I love it though. Very proud with how it turned out.

[mamaspark]

This is SO beautiful!!

Thought you guys might want to see the final quilt all finished. I love how it came out. Hoping it brings comfort to the person that lost everything in a fire

My friend and I worked together to make a gift for a friend’s birthday. I did the paper piecing of Eeyore and my friend made the bag with it.

Lots of new projects to share. Stay tuned.

I finished my Forever Neverland quilt while I was staying with my friend in Ohio. She did the quilting and it was perfect for this quilt!! If you need a quilt long arm quilted check out Threadiculous Quilting Co. I can give you contact info in a DM.

I used the SOFTEST Minky on the back. The quilting really shines on the back too! This one is sold (thank you). I’m hoping to have more quilts for sale in the future.

Starting a new project. The person’s favorite color is green

I received a text from an old very dear friend’s son asking to purchase a quilt for a friend whose house burned down. He really wanted it to be in greens. I had nothing. I wrestled with what to do. You know, time crunch, other obligations, the neverending “to do” list right? In the end I couldn’t walk away from this ask so I spent several days cutting out a new green quilt. I have a retreat next weekend and hope to finish the top then. I still need to purchase a backing. My friend with a long arm will take it from retreat and quilt it. She volunteered to bind and mail it for me to expedite its receipt.

Please send prayers, good vibes etc for this person. I can’t imagine losing everything in a fire 🔥. I’ll post the quilt once it’s done.

Been BUSY lately. I went to visit my friend in Ohio and spent a few days sewing with her. Then I drove to NC to spend the week with my daughter and her family bwe spent Easter at Carolina beach. My son flew in to join us. So much fun!

This was the view from our balcony!

Then I drove back to my friend’s house in OH. I stopped at 2 rest areas in WV looking for specific Fiestaware bowls. Just look at all the Fiesta!

We ended up driving to Berlin for a small shop hop. So. Much. FUN!! We got out of our car at one shop and saw a sign. I told my friend it was the most difficult room to get out of (the quilt shop). 😂

I finished binding a few quilts and will show you once I get photos.
