Welcome to this week’s edition of all things quilty! Not a bad week with all the distractions of life in full force. LOL!
I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come join us.
Under the Needle Last Week
I have been terrible about taking pictures this week. So don’t mind me while I go take some pictures……
- Blooming Snowflakes was the main project I worked on this week. I was able to get it fused, completely appliqued AND quilted. Yay Me! 🥳
- I finished my first of the last four blocks for Month 3 Dragonfruit BOM. It is so cute and I can’t wait to finish the last 3.
- Farmer’s Wife Block 48: I finished assembling all the mini 4 patch units and am ready to start assembling the rows of the block.
- Laid out a Legend Cottage for the 2024 SJ Temperature Cottage Quilt
- Stayed pretty focused this week’s with projects from my To Do List
While I had hoped to do more, I am super pleased to have gotten to the binding phase for Blooming Snowflakes. I would deem it a successful week!

Afterthoughts
I had more happy mail this week from my FQS order last week. LOL! I received some backing fabric, layer cake and jelly roll. All Tula Pink fabric. I love the bright colors. Not sure what I am going to use it for yet. I need to finish my Temperature quilt top and my Venti quilt top before starting a new project. 🐿️. Although I am looking at a few already.
Okay. That is it for this week. Enjoy the eye candy 🍭 . Have a great week with lots of happy stitching.
