Another Month, Another Mini

It's the end of another month,

not sure which one it is,

but never the less,

I knew it was time to share.

Anyone else feel like that?

Anyway, without further delay...

Springtime, 2020

32" x 32"

My creative juices have been 

feeling rather sluggish lately,

but fortunately,

 Stacy West

of Buttermilk Basin was sharing 

her creativity with a fun free

spring time sew-a-long. 

It gave me a chance to

pull out little bits and pieces of 

sweet spring time pastel fabrics.

It was an exercise in 

making do and using what I had,

but that was an okay good feeling.

The blocks finished at 4 inches

and were easy to do.

I plan on donating it to a

group at a local church.

So I kept the quilting simple, but I

had a tulip and heart stencil that fit the 

borders perfectly. 

My time saver for donated quilts is to do

a faux flange binding.  

 There are lots of tutorials available online.

Check them out.

I like the color accent it adds to the edge

and is the only way I can machine stitch

the binding in place and have it look good!

Note: If you are interested in the pattern

look on Stacy's website immediately.  I don't think

it will be available for free much longer, 

but then you could purchase it from her later on.

Thanks, Stacy!

The other simple project

I finished was machine quilting a 

delightful panel I had ordered 

from Fat Quarter Shop a couple of

months ago.

The message seems so appropriate. 

It was fun to quilt by simply

outlining the cute characters.

Simple quilting was the way to go.

I got it in the mail today

for my grandkiddos in Denver.

Hopefully, it will be a perfect reminder for

them and,

actually, one for all of us.

Until Next Time-
