Plaid!!

This week's Project Quilting Challenge is "Plaid".  I don't have plaid.  I even went to the clothes closet to see if I could steal a shirt.  Nope.  No plaid.  I knew I could of sewn something that looked like plaid, but honestly, that was too much work.  I stopped at a thrift store and spent 99 cents on a men's shirt. 

I had done a cat for a birthday card earlier in the month and so had the template already made.  I need a card for a lady with Parkinson's and so those two got combined.

Until next time...

Clean Slate, Sort Of

 It is once again time for Project Quilting.  The current challenge is based on the 2026 Color of the Year, which is a white.  Obviously, the people that do this are still enamored with the White/Black/Gray color palette (sterile, boring, cold).  Shoot me, I like color.  Even the author of the challenge couldn't just say the challenge was white.  She gave it the name "Clean Slate".

I have been cleaning in my sewing room.  We won't discuss how much I needed to do that.  I knew I had a box of orphan blocks, but I found another large tray of orphan blocks.  I decided in 2026 I need to make charity quilts using orphan blocks.  Here is the first one.

I used up 6 orphan blocks and ended up with something I think a 2 year old would drag around.  I also found polyester batting and used some of that.

And to prove I have been cleaning:

Thanks for looking,

Nancy

ps.  I don't really have a clean slate as I haven't finished the birthday card for the girl that turned 11 on December 31rst.
