Today's gas price in Richmond, California. Donald Trump did this. And while we're all paying these out-of-control gas prices, he wants to spend $1 BILLION of our tax dollars on his ugly ballroom. #gasprices #trumpcorruption #trumpepsteinballroom
#quiltsky, what do you do with your quilting fabric scraps? I'm drowning in scraps (many of them good sized) and wish I had a quick and easy way to process them after moving to a new sewing room. Looking for suggestions so they don't just get thrown away. Giving them away is certainly an option.
Looking back through my photos for pics of spring-themed quilts and found this rag quilt I made back in 2016, before I even started my current quilting blog. I love these light, springy colors. #quiltsky #springquilt #ragquilt #newquiltersblog #quilting
Here's a pinwheel baby quilt I made from some 10" layer cake squares. The colors and flowers make me think of spring. Backed with polyester fleece for warmth and softness. #quiltsky #springquilt #babyquilt #quilting
Here's something I've never seen before: an Oscar red carpet dress that is also a rag quilt. And I wrote a whole book about rag quilts!
A modern Valentine's lap quilt made very simply from 5" fabric squares, featuring a pixelated red heart in the center. #quiltsky #valentinequilt #pixelatedheartquilt #redquilt
One of my favorite Valentine's quilts, a rag quilt made with applique hearts from a vintage cutter quilt. I keep this one in my car and snuggle up in it while I write on cold days. #quiltsky #valentinequilt #redquilt #appliquequilt #heartquilt
Merry Christmas! It's raining in northern California, and the rain brought us a beautiful rainbow late this morning. Celebrating with three generations of family, ages from 2 months to 73 years old. #Christmasquilt #Yuletide #FatherChristmas #CelebrateChristmas #Christmas
So much to be thankful for today, from my daughter's new baby (three weeks old) to the many blessings I've enjoyed through the lucky accident of being alive in this time and place. #Thanksgiving #grateful #quiltsky #Thanksgivingquilt
Fall is my favorite season, and this fall quilt is one of my favorites. It's a quilt-as-you-go lap quilt that features two blocks, maple leaf and nine-patch. You can get the pattern as a PDF in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/NewQuil... #quiltsky #mapleleafquilt #ninepatchquilt #quiltasyougo
Another autumn leaf quilt. I'm in Portland OR right now, where the leaves are starting to turn and the nights are getting chilly. #quiltsky #leafquilt #autumnquilt
Visited several old growth redwood forests in far northern California this week. Here's a photo of the roots of a huge fallen redwood tree. The roots are about twenty feet tall.
Celebrating the coming autumn season, my favorite time of year. #quiltsky #leafquilt #quilting
My husband has always been a devoted father, but these last couple of years he has really amazed me with his dedication to being a grandfather.
