It's no secret I like work with red, white and blue fabrics especially at this time of year. I pieced three of these carpenter wheel toppers over the winter, they are all identical. This is the first one to the finish line. The Accuquilt carpenter wheel die was used to make this.

A little patriotic

Where do I begin
I don't even know where to start, taking one week off of blogging led to two and then three and before I know it two plus months have went by. Thank you to those of you that asked if I was okay, the answer was yes I am fine just in need of a break! Plus I didn't really have anything knew to show you. I took three weeks off from sewing during that time, pretty much unheard of for me!

Tulips for Spring
What is prettier than red tulips, I think they make all of us think of Spring. So this past week I worked on piecing two table runners.

Another scrappy string UFO
So glad to have moved a scrappy UFO along. I had several green string blocks hiding out in the closet.

Back to the pineapples
After taking a little break from the scrappy pineapple blocks, I buckled down...

Using up some yellows
It was a busy few days using up some yellows that I had cut and kitted up last November. Four morning star table runners almost identical except for the outer borders.

Three more stars and stripes
Hello quilty peeps, how are you doing with your projects this week. I am pleased that I finished piecing three more of my stars and stripes table runners. Yes these three are identical which makes it really easy when cutting.
This time the blue fabric is different from the previous two which you can verify right HERE.
In the evenings another pair of slippers were produced. I talked with my DIL this week to see if her group was able to give out the slippers I previously gave her. She said a big YES and they could use more! I am so happy about that. So I will continue to knit away. These are red 4 ply with a gray sport weight yarn. These would probably fit a 6-8 year old.

Disappearing four patch
Several of you thought I was teasing you with my stack of greens and neutrals, I have a reveal for you! They quickly became four patches...

Green and neutral scraps
A long time ago I cut charm squares of greens and neutrals using my 5" die. Their time has come to be used(at least some of them). As you can see I will need to be trimming those strings as I go.

Homespun Tumblers
Remember me talking about kitting up projects to work on this winter? This is one of them. I have a lot of homespuns in browns, golds, greens, reds, and blues. This particular set is all browns/golds. I used the larger tumbler Accuquilt die to make fast work of cutting. The alternate is muslin I had setting around also.

Stars and Stripes and Slippers
It's here, it's here...the New Year, 2025!!
I know it might be early to start working on patriotic projects, but hey I was in the mood;) My original stars and stripes design has been a popular one for me so I hope to have 8 pieced over the winter. These are the first two. These were started on Dec 30th 2024 and finished on January 1st.
