I am still alive! Life can be so busy, and I fell out of the habit of updating my blog. Can't promise I will be perfect, but I'm going to try to do better. :)

In March of 2025, I posted about doing another yellow and blue quilt in honor of the Ukrainian people. I did get it done.

It is a One-Block-Wonder pattern using sunflower panels. I love the way it turned out!

I'll post a few more projects I have completed below.

This is a baby quilt featuring 1930s reproduction fabric.

Another baby quilt using picture panels of baby farmyard animals.

This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern, Smith Mountain Morning. I used Christmas fabrics for it.

Speaking of Christmas fabrics . . . this was made for my youngest granddaughter.

More Christmas. I made this for my older granddaughter.

For my son--a quilt using nature-based prints.

Another One-Block Wonder--this one for a co-worker who loves peacocks.

I've lots more to show, but I'll stop there for today. Thanks for reading, and I will try to be more regular in my postings. :)

Happy Quilting!😸

Support for Ukraine

In 2022, Bonnie Hunter did a quilt-along for Hearts of Hope, a quilt of support for the Ukrainian people. Blue and yellow are the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

Bonnie Hunter's pattern can be purchased at her shop:

I'm feeling the need to pull out my blue and yellow fabrics to show my continued support for Ukraine. I plan to make a One-Block Wonder panel quilt from this panel:

Sunflowers are key component of Ukraine's economy, and they are considered a national symbol for the country.

Quiltmaking is my art and is the way I best express myself. You may express yourself in a different way than I; crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidering, etc. can have the same effect. We may not be able to effect change on a global scale, but we can find small ways to help manage our feelings about the world around us. 

If you would like to do this, pull out your blue and yellow fabrics/yarns/threads/etc., use any pattern, and pour your love and support into your work. I'd love to see what you choose to create, and I'll be glad to share your efforts on this blog.
