Here it is! Hanging from the wall of my wonky quilt shop!
This is why I needed a micro quilt! LOL! I could have fussy cut a mini print out, but I really wanted to see if I could do it this way! The lost piece was my pre-attempt to see if it could be done before I committed to 3 more. Success! I’m going to embroider “Ruthies’ Quilts” above the door and window. This block is for our wonky nighttime house swap! All done! (But the others still need to be trimmed up…)
Wonky Quilt Shop…
May 18, 2013Lost and Found~ Speck in the road…
May 18, 2013
So I made that micro quilt a couple of days ago… Stitching and stitching. It only took 6 hours to make a 1 3/4 inch block. I took it for show and tell at the Layton Quilt Guild. Almost forgot to show it, but remembered in the nick of time!
Then, I safely tucked it away in my front pocket. I got home and went to pull it out, but it wasn’t there! I searched through everything! My wallet, my purse, my diaper bag for the baby I babysat. Everywhere. It was no where to be found. I checked in the van in case it fell out while I was getting out my cell phone. Still, no luck…
I finally went back to the Senior Center that evening where we have guild meetings… I looked as I drove up and saw a little speck in the road. Could it possibly be? Maybe? I didn’t want to get my hopes up too much. I stopped well in advance and walked up to the speck.
It was found!!! Woo hoo!!! I was NOT looking forward to remaking it!!! LOL! Post coming soon on what it was made for… Thanks for stopping by! XOXO
Okay, bear with me…

I had to show this picture of my cat and micro quilt too… I always love a good cat picture! This is Poukie, who ducks when I go to pet him. “No thanks”, he says…
My smallest quilt…
May 15, 2013
This is by far the smallest quilt I’ve made… It measures about 11/2 inches and has 4 pieced stars! I thought 1 inch blocks were hard! LOL! I have a couple more of these to make for a project that I’m working on… This one only took all day. Of course I was babysitting and she was not helpful… LOL!
Wonky Nighttime Library/Book Store…
May 15, 2013
I added titles to mine… I tried to design the outside of the building to look like book shelf. And of course, there are itty books in the shop window. It can be a library or a book store. I’ll let the gals add their own favorite titles! I’m going to embroider library or book store on the roof eventually too…
What a sad, sad, day… Tuesday craziness!
May 15, 2013
Well, Leslie finally quilted until she wilted… She collapsed in fatigue on the table. (Because the floor is too icky!) Patsy rushed in to save her. The rest of us just laughed. Poor, poor Leslie… Another fun (If somewhat crazy) Tuesday at the Senior Center. You guys can see why I don’t want to come home! LOL!
Pictured in order: Lindy, Susie, Leslie (the body), Patsy, and Rita. Behind the camera, Ruthie. Thanks for visiting!!!
Bitty Block Bee blocks for the Queen in May!
May 13, 2013
And here they are! I designed both of these blocks for DeeRooG in the Bitty Block Bee. She is going to do a quilted clock. Each member was asked to do a fruit or veggie on a black and white background. DeeRooG also wanted a Roman numeral from each of us. These are my 2 blocks. I had wanted to do a banana, but just wasn’t terribly inspired! I do love the apple! I’ll be popping these in the mail in a few days! I pieced the letters in IV too… (I picked IV because I’m a nurse. And it had to be in red, right?! LOL!) I can’t wait to see it D!
Both blocks are 3.5 inches square.
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
May 13, 2013
I just had to show you all the fun little family I saw on my walk today in honor of Mother’s Day… You thought taking care of your kids was hard. How would you like to keep track of 18 babies?! Me neither! LOL! Happy Mother’s Day!!! (From 1 duck to another…) Here are a few other bird pictures for your viewing pleasure!
2 Pelicans and a Blue Heron.
Finally getting caught up…
May 13, 2013
In the Layton Quilt Guild, we are doing school house blocks. (3 blocks each month) I was behind, but now I’m done through May!!! Yay! I think I’ll get June done early too as it’s a uber busy month around here…
