Tidbits

 I have been so sporadic with my posts these days that I realized I have forgotten a few of my (relatively) recent projects. 

This was the second quilt I made in Taryn Faulkner's (Reproquiltlover) Instagram sew-a-long. The first one went to a friend for her wedding and this one will go to our local Hospice. I adore this yellow as it is so cheerful! It is made in the potholder method but this time I chose to use only two fabrics for the back. 

 

 

Here is my Barbara Brackman (Civil War Quilts) bird block of the month for May. Who doesn't love a cardinal? Well, ok, they are noisy in the early morning hours, but they are so lovely! 

 

I initially tried this black print for the sunflower center, but it made the whole block look dark so I changed it. I had to add the little black around sunflower so the yellow wouldn't disappear. 

 

Here are the first three in the series. It has been a while since I have done a sew-a-long with Barbara and I am having great fun with these. 

 

This is the my finished quilt (again in the potholder method) in Taryn's (@reproquiltlover) "Scrappy Meets Thrift" challenge on Instagram. The variety of these quilts is amazing and I recommend you visit her Instagram feed to see them all (#scrappymeetsthriftchallenge). 

 

Love the cheater prints on the backs of these blocks.

 

The little blocks were so much fun to make. Kind of like eating peanuts! 

 

 

And, last but not least On May first I was interviewed by Susan Giberson for her You Tube channel, "Making it in Maine". Her videos are fun to watch so you'd best grab a cuppa before entering her world. 😊 

My interview was labeled MIIM 63B. My link is not working today for some reason (Operator error I'm sure!) but you can Google Wendy Reed Making it in Maine YouTube if you are so inclined. 

That's it for now. Gotta go sew!

Have a super day!
