TTMT #456 - jewells68 - February 21, 2023 - Scraps & Cats


In which I talk about going through all my fabric bins, organizing, and culling of scraps. It's really hard to get rid of fabric, y'all. I am sure you are feeling me. As I go through each bin and look at each piece I remember things I've made with it. It's almost as bad as clearing out a closet or going through old photos. So many memories. But I have to make this room easier to work in and my fabric more inviting. So I'll just keep plugging away. That's the best I can do. Also, meet Zane Grey the Cat. His human is out of town again so I am visiting him every day this week.

TTMT #455 - jewells68 - February 14, 2023 - Finishes and Fabric


In which I show my first two Project Linus donations for this year as well as some fabric and orphan blocks I brought home to make more charity quilts. I've been working on some things for Hip Stitch but hope to be back at the Dia de los Muertos quilt very soon.

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! I love my TTMT sisters!

TTMT #454 - jewells68 - February 7, 2023 - I've Only Just Begun


Hey y'all! this week I give a brief update on the SW Sonoma Sunset Star quilt as well as talk about (and show progress on) a new, scrappy quilt I'm making for a friend. I'm having so much fun creating this scrappy stash quilt that I think I'm going to have to incorporate at least one more of these into my projects this year. There is something so satisfying about stretching your creative muscles to work only with items you already have on hand and still make something beautiful. I cannot recommend a project like this more, it really is feeding my creative soul.
