Charity Quilting

I pieced this quilt many years ago. I finally got around to quilting it up. I continued cloud theme with the quilting.

I added my yearly income from these affiliate links to the sidebar if you want to see how that small amount adds up. 

My personal goal is to quilt at least one quilt per week throughout the year. To that end, check out the EpochConverter for 2023 to see how I'm stacking up.

Charity Quilting

Sometimes I feel fancy is in order. 

I pieced this wonderful little quilt using leftovers from other quilt projects. Quilted, trimmed, and ready for binding.

Butterfly Garden

I pieced this quilt way back in January (2023). I decided to get it off my to-quilt list. I loaded it up and got quilting. 

I picked a fun flower edge-to-edge design. This design came with my machine so I'm not sure who designed it. It is a great all-over design that makes a fun texture. I picked a blue thread that matches the backing fabric. 

It isn't easy to see in this photo, but the texture is great!

I've made my binding. Now, I just need to get it attached.

Travel Crochet

Sometimes I need a comfort crochet project. This is one of those projects. We recently traveled to say a last goodbye to a good friend. When you have plenty to think about, a simple project is perfect to occupy your hands. This is a granny triangle shawl made with a Caron Skinny Cake.
