TTMT #397 - jewells68 - March 30, 2021 - A New Quilt

In which I talk about starting a new quilt design that I've already begun piecing. I also talk about things that need to be quilted and show some tops and backings Jennifer O. sent to me for Project Linus. Finishing the memory quilt and getting it into DeAnn's hands has motivated me to get more quilts finished, so that's what's on the agenda for April!

TTMT #396 - jewells68 - March 23, 2021 - Memory in the Sun

In which I show the finished Irish Chain memory quilt that's been nearly 2 years in the making for my friend DeAnn. The wind makes some of it hard to hear, sorry about that. But no dogs barking this time! The luck of the Irish! ;)

TTMT #395 - jewells68 - March 17, 2021 - Double Your Quilting, Double Yo...

Crafty times are back, y'all! I show you my first project with my Cricut Maker, as well as 2 quilts I finished this weekend. I quilted them at the same time, loaded ended to end on my frame using a single piece of backing and a single piece of batting. Worked a treat and super duper fast! So glad I got the Cricut and crafty plans are brewing. See y'all next week!

TTMT #394 - jewells68 - March 9, 2021 - Memories and Makers

I did it, I finished the memory quilt! Just need to label, make sure it doesn't fall apart in the wash, and mail it to its new home. What's next? Who knows! And I cut my own hair last week. So far I am totally happy with it. If I'm vaccinated by the time I need it cut again, maybe I'll even have a pro do the next one. :) In Maker news, I'm currently trying to make labels for some of my bins that will look prettier than the current look, which is "sharpie on blue painters tape", lol. Just taking each day as it comes so I can enjoy the crafty process.

TTMT #393 - jewells68 - March 2, 2021 - Prodding Myself

Look here's the thing... not getting much done right now, but I'm trying to "kickstart my art" and get quilting again. These periods hit us and we just have to work through them to find our crafty selves again. May your National Craft Month be as crafty as you want it to be!
