The Rabbit Hole Quilt!! and! Finished ( or not) Friday

I get this question a lot when someone mentions that I quilt... How long does it take you to finish a quilt?

I am sure you get that too - and after I waver and explain QDD, and the multiple projects that need my attention - I still never come up with a good answer. 

This quilt?  I made it in under a year... yep!! I did!!

I started it by going down a rabbit hole on LAPaylors blog in June 2025 - and look at that - it is bound and finished by April 2026!

it is a LARGE Quilt - like 72 x 100 ish. It took 2 people to hold it all pretty like, and one tall one to try the photos in the sun. Its a combination of the Jelly Roll 18 pattern and my Happy Half Square 3 block.

It was also the inspiration for our Fireworks QOV's!! 

I really like it - and!! I think its long enough for all 3 dogs to cuddle with me, but they don't need to cuddle right now. Or maybe? I hear a storm is coming in - and we are all for it - lets get rain!!!

Did you all have a good week? Did you get to your sewing room? ( mine is in the front room, so its easy to get to.... until I start the piles... oops)

Link Up your Direct Post - Its so fun to go see what you all are doing. I still haven't quite figured out how to comment if I browse on my phone - but I'll get there!

I'm wrapping them ...

 our QOV group was able to wrap a few more Veterans!! 6 this time .

I love being able to do this, even though I know that there is some emotion involved - it still lifts my heart each time I see a smile or a tear as the Vet allows us to wrap them up. 

The Veteran second from the left hid in the back photos!! he had a Jelly Roll Plus quilt too. Its fun to know that we did these as the Jelly Roll Sew day and they are so quickly out in the world!

For more info or to nominate a Veteran go to Quilts of Valor

When its Spring....

The babies start coming!!

Real Babies!!

We had a fun baby shower for my Niece - and I was able to gift this quilt:

They are still waiting for the little bambino - and we don't know if its a boy a girl yet - but bets are in, and guesses have been made.  

our little one arrived as well - Baby C came a little early, and we are all smitten. We can't quite see her in person yet ( stupid commitments) but got to meet her thru FaceTime and ... well .... its just amazing

The girls - I have all three for the time being, so we are learning how to work with mom. I do have to say - adding the third to the daily routine adds a lot, but!! With two that already *know* what our life is like, that 3rd one just kinda has to come along for the ride.

Going back to 2018!! and!! Finished ( or not) Friday

Remember the big waggy tails that are  my puppies... this was another project unearthed by them...

and it is taking us back to 2018!! 2018 people!!

Its a scrappy Irish chain - the pattern was in a book by Melissa Corry

and it was my RSC project for 2018 - but!! I forgot about 3 colors.. so I spent a morning finishing those blocks and now: ( linking to: Rainbow scrap Challenge)

It is a top!! I had to finish the Pink, Red and Yellow, not sure how I got that far behind, but! I was - 

This is the book it was in:

I don't seem to find it for sale anywhere.

But!! My top is done!! and now it goes to the *be quilted* pile.

A freind of mine challenged me to make a list of the To Be quilteds, and the need to finishes - but I am such a visual person, I decided a list would not help. 

I have been taking photos and saving them in an album on my phone.

It was kind of fun to move this one from the *need to work on* album to the *need to Quilt Album* 

and just an FYI - in the *Need to Bind* album,..... there's only two... oh ya!!!

Randoms...

 

We are in a pretty severe drought right now, so we aren't letting too many animals out into the pastures - we rotate pastures a LOT so that there is a chance for growth of the grass. Can you see the little bit of green there is?  

It is good for the horses to get out and get some roaming in tho!

My goofball - she gets herself into some predicaments!! 

Just like when you have young kids - you try really hard to make sure they are worn out at the end of the day... Same with the puppies. 

My Poor son got on a site where they don't allow dogs, so Pound Puppy 9 far right) is staying with us for the while he's on that project. and look!! I wore them out!!!!

We had to go fix some fencing and mow some fence lines ( fire prevention) out on the east side, so I took them with me. We ( the dogs and I) took the 4 wheeler, they can run and romp a lot faster than when I walk. But we worked out there for hours and they explored and had a good ol' time.

Came back and got their baths - and this was where they conked out!

This was after sunrise on Easter Morning .

We had another event - I could either get the horses to look at the camera , or the humans... I got a human to wave so that is the photo I chose! Hello from the Humans!!

It was a fun competition. I got 29 of the 30 targets. The target I missed... I am sure - SO SURE - that it moved on purpose and laughed at me ( it is a balloon )

I took a moment to organize my random scraps - doesn't this look pretty? I see lots of blocks in those scraps!

I sorted by color - that is it... but! 

Its a start right?

We took Steers into the processors this week too. That always takes a moment or two. And its funny to watch them go into the trailer, they sniff and they are big!!

See you Friday - for Finished ( or not) Friday!!

The dinosaurs go marching on.. and!! Finished! or not - Friday

My adult had a birthday - and we all know he LOVES Dinosaurs. - So he needed a Dinosaur quilt for his birthday.

We found this super cool pattern called Marching Band by Atkinson Designs. In the instructions, it says to pay attention to the pieces on one of the blocks, as it is directional...and guess what? I did pay attention, just not the right attention - and ALL my blocks were backwards. 

I then decided that if I made the second block backwards I could probably fix it - and as I was thinking of this... I had an Ah ha moment.

What if I took a photo of the pattern and turned it around in my phone? 

And that WORKED!!

It is the complete opposite direction of the pattern that she wrote - and I will pay MUCH better attention when Teri says to pay attention - but!! HE LOVES it!!  It is a fun pattern and I love the way she writes her instructions, they make such sense to me. 

( Now to make a back and  quilt it before his next birthday)

That's him and his Puppy... 

So what have you been up to this week? Did your cattle go on walkabout - and you spent hours reminding them of where they live?

The local DAR ( Daughters of the American Revolution) had four Veterans they wanted to honor and wrap with a Quilt of Valor - and wowzers!! they went full out - it was a beautiful room, decorated to the nines, and!! they had a lunch prepared to feed 1000 haha!

We had two Vietnam Veterans - one Desert Storm and One Iraq - they were all fabulous folks, and we so loved chit chatting with them over lunch.

The next day was our Sew Day!!
