TTMT #431 - jewells68 - June 15, 2022 - So Many Things!


In which I show off the EIGHT blankets I donated this past weekend (7 quilts and 1 crocheted granny-ghan) as well as some random stuff and orphan blocks I brought home to start new ones (of course!). I taught my first class at Hip Stitch and had so much fun that I am looking forward to the next one this weekend!

Just focusing on keeping my brain distracted and busy and try not to dwell about things that are beyond my control.

Stay crafty y'all!

TTMT #429 - jewells68 - May 31, 2022 - Cut Off Mid-Senten...


In which I show you a peek at the quilt top I just finished for my nephew Joel (it's "the one with all the flying geese") as well as let you take a look at my recently rearranged project room... yes, AGAIN, lol. What's on the design wall this week? You'll have to watch to find out!

TTMT #428 - jewells68 - May 17, 2022 - So Many Things and a Shark


In which I show a finished quilt top, fabrics and yarns for Project Linus blankets, pieced geese and of course, a shark! Longer than normal, but I promise I actually cut 6 minutes out of this video, so I apologize if it seems a bit choppy but better choppy than put you all to sleep, lol.

TTMT #427 - jewells68 - May 3, 2022 - Masked Rainbow Dots


In which I show yet another quilt top for Project Linus, this one pieced together from a panel designed for making masks. Also just a quick update on the flocks of flying geese that I'm back to working on and an upcoming class. It's been slow coming, but I am finally recovering from the past year of whatever the heck happened, and kicking myself back into sewjo. Stay crafty y'all!

TTMT #426 - jewells68 - April 27, 2022 - No More Mother Goose


in which I show a new Project Linus top pieced a few days ago using the last remaining bits of the big Mother Goose quilt donated many years ago that I took apart plus the new-to-me Wilmington "twinkle star" fabric I got in a bolt at ACR from the same line as the original quilt (only in a different colorway). It's now been turned into at least 3 Project Linus quilts. I can't find photos of the original quilt (though I know I took some) and I feel like maybe there was one earlier quilt made from it in 2015, but I can't seem to find that either. But I DID find photos of two quilts I made from chunks of this quilt back in 2016.

Making this top made me want to piece up up more tops from leftovers I've got sitting around, so while I should be quilting what's already pieced, I guess I'm just in a piecing mood right now. Stay crafty y'all!
