I love to quilt, cook, and read. I love feeding the birds, Imos pizza, bonfires, Disney, peonies, Taylor Swift, gummy candy, cats, leaves changing in the Fall, cookbooks, and fresh tortillas.

I’m doing the brown bag mystery with Karen Montgomery again this year and I spent yesterday working on the bonus practice project. I want to quilt it with lime green shamrocks. #quiltsky

Doing some quilting tonight. I finished this Knitted Star by Lo and Behold Stitchery over a month ago but got busy with other projects. Time to finish this up. Using Snowflake Cascade from My Creative Stitches. #quiltsky

Pitas with turkey meatballs, tzatziki, roasted red pepper whipped feta, and potato wedges with Greek seasoning. It was delicious! #food

Making slow progress. Four blocks out of seven in the top row. I think it looks pretty cool so far. #quiltsky

I’ve begun piecing the blocks in my latest quilt. This is the first two. (They are long and skinny.) This is the Drip quilt from Taralee Quiltery and it will eventually be a bed-sized quilt for my daughter. #quiltsky

Snow day in Houston! This is the first time my girls have ever played in the snow. I’m thankful for a day that feels joyful and a little bit magical in such trying times.

I was torn between lazily digesting a nice dinner and finishing my table runner but the table runner won! It will be nice to have a pretty new table decoration for Valentine’s Day. #quiltsky #longarmquilter

Anyone else quilting today? I should be cleaning but what’s the harm in getting this Valentines table runner quilted first?! 😂 #quiltsky #prostitcher #longarmquilting

My local quilt shop started a new block of the month today. These are my first blocks. I’m excited to see how this one turns out because I loved last year’s. They offered two colorways: day and night. This is the day choice. #quiltsky

I’m still working on getting each of my fabrics washed and ironed but I couldn’t resist starting to cut. This quilt has lots of pieces and I’m already really glad I bought the acrylic templates that go with it. #quiltsky

Starting my next quilt. This one was picked out for my daughter. Getting organized and labeled and beginning the process of pre-washing my fabrics. Hoping to document as I go. #quiltsky

I finished up my 2024 temperature quilt. The pattern is from Plains and Pine and the pantograph is Skadaddle from Sew Shabby Quilting. I am so proud of the finished product. I still plan to embroider a label for the back with a legend for the colors and their temperature ranges. #quiltsky
