Funny story.....

Last night I was digging through my fabric stash looking for a piece that I could use as a backing for a project that's currently in progress, and I found this red piece folded up with some other random stuff. I thought maybe it could work, and it certainly seemed large enough from the way it was folded, so I pulled it out to get a better look.

As I unfolded it, I realized that it was probably older than I thought...and then I started to notice some seams, and slowly it started to dawn on me - it wasn't just a piece of fabric....it was a whole quilt 🤯.

Ok, technically not whole.....but it's a top and back, sewn together on 3 sides with no batting in between the layers. I have ZERO CLUE as to where it came from, who made it, or how old it is. It may have come from an estate sale, or from some fabric that I got from a friend, or........🤷‍♀️.

But it's cute. And it's big. And it'll get finished someday when I have spare time 🤣.

I finished this one a while back, but held on to the photo reveal until after it was given as a birthday gift. I always try to not ruin surprises! 😜

I finished a few weeks ago for a very special retirement gift. I know I've said it before but I'm always so honored to be trusted with these projects.

Thank you for your years of service, Captain Mueller!

Got my Saturday uniform on, coffee in hand, music blaring, laundry rolling, and going to try to knock some more items off of the neverending list today.

On October 15, 2014 - 12 years ago today - I launched this page. Kind of crazy looking back at it now, but it's been fun!

Sometimes you just gotta' do what you gotta' do, regardless of what time it is.

I got up a lot later than I originally planned, but it's September in Kansas and that means my allergies are currently off the rails 🤧🤧. But I'm up, dishes are done, laundry is going, I'm in my Saturday uniform (pardon the cat hair), I'm on my second cup, and it's time to get moving.

Fun little wall hanging is done!

Actually, it was done a week ago, but trying to remember to post a picture of it? Yeah. 🤷‍♀️

Lots and lots of orders in the pile to get done - but that pesky full-time job keeps getting in the way 🤣.

"SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL QUILT SHOPS!!!!" says everyone since JoAnns closed. And I agree - but when I get off work at 5pm on a good day, how am I supposed to do that?

So. Frustrated.
