Can you say UFO finish! I'm jumping up and down because I can. I affectionately call this quilt The Not Turning Twenty Quilt. I know that seems strange. At the time my husband wanted to make a quilt for one of his good friends using blue and cream fat quarters.

Not Turning Twenty Quilt Finish
Can you say UFO finish! I'm jumping up and down because I can. I affectionately call this quilt The Not Turning Twenty Quilt. I know that seems strange. At the time my husband wanted to make a quilt for one of his good friends using blue and cream fat quarters.

Diatom QAL-Block 3 and first Row
I'm giving myself a huge pat on the back for keeping up with Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl and her Diatom QAL, going on as we speak. Like the crazy person that I am, I decided to make both the throw and twin-size version of the quilts.

Pop Star--pieced
There is fashionably late for a party and then there is Tish fashionably late to a party. I'm only a month shy of a year late to this one. I would like to note I have been much later to a quilt along before.
The quilt along was hosted by my dear friend Sandra over at mmm!quilts and ran from April 3rd to June 15th of 2022.

Melodic Mystery Quilt
No surprise I am way behind writing about this quilt top finish. This time last year had the opportunity to pattern test for Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs on her latest mystery quilt. I love pattern testing for Cheryl. Her patterns are always super easy to follow and I love her designs. The Melodic Mystery may be my favorite one yet, although I think I say that about all of them.

Juggling Projects
I've never been able to focus on just one project from start to finish. Most days I really wish I had that ability. In my little brain I need several irons in the fire to function. Usually, it looks something like this...one project in quilting phase that I'm dragging my feet on and two or three piecing projects that I somehow think I can piece all at the same time if planned correctly. This is basically how I am operating right now. Above is a panel I purchased several months ago to go with Natalia Bonner's (Piece N Quilt) Let's Stitch a Year of Stars.

I'm Still a Quilter
Bellamy |
I was beginning to think I might need to send out a search party to find myself. The past few years has been a bit crazy with life changes and job changes and job position changes. Quilting had fallen to the back burner. I found a new me. A stronger more vocal me but something is still missing and I'm off kilter. That is because the quilting me has been silent. I need creativity and the quilting community. So, I'd like to think I'm back.
Oliver |
I've lost one of my quilting companions, sweet tuxedo kitty, Oliver, but have gained new ones as well. Bellamy (Bartholomew Benjamin Buttons), my step kitty, has been laying on my works in progress for almost a year now. And in December we welcomed a sweet ginger girl, Carmella.

So what have these purrfect little helpers been helping me create? Why, more UFO's of course.
And so I did! The smaller one measures 26.5" square and the larger one 59" square. The best part is that it is a free pattern on their website.
