Laundry is fun!

For the Project Quilting Challenge #14.3 , I looked up the Generations quilt block, for my 54-40 or Fight block. I used their paper-piecing pattern which worked out good. Then I decided to add the block to this Laundry bag.


I have made quite of few of these Lined drawstring bags. This one will work out good for storing a whole quilt. When we go camping, I may bring it along for packing the dirty clothes. I used scraps leftover from this quilt.

Completed back



Completed in 2020. Clearly, I still used the 2019 label.

I do use this quilt quite a bit on my couch. It is a good size that I can just throw over myself if I get cold. Couch quilts are a necessity. 

It was awesome that I won a drawing for the 2nd challenge. I won these fabrics from Electric Needle.


They also gave me a 3 pins. I always enjoy some sarcasm.


Thanks for the challenge. We do not know what Challenge 14.4 will be.

Pleasantly Plump, Predominately Pink Pillow

I decided to work on Challenge #2: Pink Tint this week. I was able to finish this Predominantly Pink Pillow just in time.  



This is a pattern/kit from Sew Lux Fabric. I have had this kit since last January 2022.  And, of course, it was not completed. So I pulled it out and started on it at the beginning of this week. I now have a pillow to use for Valentine's Day this year. I have completed quite a few of pillow kits from Sew Lux and I do enjoy using them throughout the year.

My Game Plan for Planview

I finished my Quilt top for The Planview Quilt Along at Quilting JetGirl. It was a windy day, as we are having quite frequently, but I was able to get a few photos with my quilt top laying in the yard.


I sewed the Twin Size quilt which is a very nice size - approximately 80" x 96".  I should be able to use this on my camper bed when it is quilted.  At first, I was not happy with the darker navy blues that I used in the corners, but it has grown on me. I wanted to use mostly fabrics that I already had in my house, which I am happy that I did. 


 I am linking my quilt top to the Planview completed linkup. Many thanks to Quilting JetGirl for this annual Quilt along. I like how this quilt along is spread out over several months so I can work on it when I have some extra time.

A Starry Dish-drying mat

 I finished the Flying Geese challenge in time for the Final Challenge of Project Quilting. Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in #4 and #5. However, I did complete challenges 1, 2, 3 and 6 this year.  Here is my completed Dish Drying mat with 8 flying geese.  The challenge was to incorporate at least 5 flying geese into your project. The big star and the little star both have 4 flying geese each.


I used some Bonnie and Camille scraps I've had since completing a quilt a few years ago. I used this Moda toweling for the backing.  


Many thanks to Kim at Persimon Dreams for hosting these challenges each year! I have gotten a few things completed during the weeks of the challenges.
