Hang some linens out to dry, oh they smell so good!
Sit outside, get a little sun and hand stitch a binding (heaven)… oh and take a closeup look at a couple new charm packs, 12 days of Christmas and Make life, yum.
Take a picture outside without freezing my buns off. Progress so far on Rachel’s Pinwheel Quilt A Long.
And do some weeding, but that’s not a pretty picture….

Stacked coins quilt
This sweet quilt measures a generous 47"x50". It stitched up very nice and is soft and cuddly, it has already been washed and dried.
The stacked coins are so cute.
Fabric is "Woodland Bloom" by Lila Tueller for Moda.
The quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted with a swirly - loopy - design, the double binding is a Hoffman paisley and is sewn on the edge by hand.
The back is white with two rows of 4 and a half inch blocks down the middle.
I really enjoyed stitching this quilt

Stitched up some nautical flags for the porch, 5 or 10 more to go, they turned out pretty well, I need to look up the exact meaning, I do know pendants are numbers and the others are phrases or letters. I should know since I’ve been boating my whole life, just never used signal flags.
We have been walking each evening, trying to work off some winter weight……
Come on let’s go?
Chocolate is always way up ahead of us.
The stream is a long way down, such a natural beauty.
And a long way backup the hill too (of course I didn’t say I was walking up and down these hills/cliffs, we either start down at the bottom by the stream or at the top).
I stitched up a couple pillows and I love both patterns. I found this one from Moda Lissa, a really fun pillow with prairie points, this is my first try making them and it won’t be my last, thank you Lissa.
The second tutorial is from You go Girl and I cheated and added a ruffle instead of the crocheted edge. I love the style of this pillowcase because it has a pocket to keep the pillow from sliding out, thank you Cassie ~ love it and I plan to make more!
Yes Spring has sprung and it is amazing.
Happy Thursday

Inspired by Amanda at Crazymomquilts, I donated a couple Wonky Stars to her Quilts of Valor project and knew I wanted to make a quilt for myself using this fun block.
I have finished piecing 30 Wonky Stars and I am hand quilting them individually, relaxing and fun I enjoy/love hand sewing. ;)
I made a small quilt called “Beach Balls” with the fabric I had left over from the Wonky Star Blocks.
Inspired by a tutorial here *** Cluck.Cluck.Sew. Thank you Allison. This quilt was a lot of fun and I think I will make another. It measures 33.5”x44”.
I used flannel on the back and had a lot of fun with the quilting!!
Another quilt named by Kevin, the fabric line is Nautical and Nice so I think “Beach Balls” is appropriate.
Looks cute on a table too!!
Six blocks completed for Rachel’s pinwheel sampler quilt a long.
