Placemat Challenge 26-02,3,4
So I may be sharing my placemat finishes in bunches. In honor of SoScrappy RSC blues for last month, I finished this scrappy spiral placemat.
and the back ............
Connie at Freemotion By The River is also having a monthly color challenge and link-up. This month is reds. I wanted to refresh my memory for making the delectable mountains block, so I used that method for my challenge. I finished binding them yesterday and today they will be used for a hostess gift.

Along with Freemotion By The River, I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

26 SAHRR - Round 3
I am participating in the 2026 Stay at Home Round Robin which is an annual event beginning every January. You can find all the details at Round #2 for the 2026 SAHRR | Quilting Gail
This week is round 3. I had to dig deep into the creative brain cell to think of something this time. After a few sleeps and some trials in EQ, I decided to add a border to create an open area for quilting and a place to rest your eye. Animals was the challenge this week I tried to stay with the floral theme of the fabrics and made some butterfly appliques.
I pieced a 4 inch border with background fabric, added a 1 inch trim of color then put a butterfly in the 4 corners. They are fused but I still need to blanket stitch them down.
I also made 8 more smaller butterflies to try in the remaining open areas of this border. I pinned 2 in place on one side of the border just to see if it would work. If I envision these 8 butterflies going around the border, will it be TOO MUCH ? I think it will be too much but what do YOU THINK?
I'm linking up with The Darling Dogwood and these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

26 SAHRR - Round 2
Round 2 on my 2026 SAHRR is ready. Link up this week is at
Kathleen McMusing - Quilter, Teacher and Designer
Be sure to visit there to see the creations from all the participants.
Here is my project so far, the round 2 prompt is "Make It A Double". This is my interpretation which is also defined by the fabric collection I am working with and how complicated/or not, I want to put into the round. And size does matter as I'm trying to avoid making a queen size quilt this time. I also get lots of help from EQ8 and Accuquilt cubes.

A Quilters Cove - January House Blues II
So January is finished and it's time to share our first house. I made mine in blues to correspond with Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I added charming little elements to my first house. I top stitched them all down raw edge style. The background piece has a layer of thin interfacing This type of designing is a bit beyond my artistic talent. I am enjoying the challenge for a change of methods. My project will showcase different house designs in different size blocks. Why keep it simple ?
During my internet travels, I came across this page which offers 6 free house patterns and want to share the link with you, just in case you need more options.

Placemat Challenge 26-01
I have a difficult time resisting small challenges; okay some big challenges too. Connie at Freemotion By The River is hosting a monthly color challenge. She announces a color and offers directions for a block. You are open to make anything with your color; large, small, finished or not. You can share your creation in the linky party anytime during the month.
I decided to challenge myself with making placemats for gifting this year. Those quick finishes are satisfying for motivation. I've started with a placemat in shades of aqua which just happens to be near the top of my 10 favorite colors list!
Methods for making placemats should not need so much tweeking in my advanced quilting stage of life, but alas, it seems sometimes still necessary. I am not accustomed to making single fold binding. It should have been cut 1/4 inch wider and so it did not turn out perfectly. I will probably still free motion quilt in the area around the sailboat when the machine is set up for it.
In the meantime, this placemat is 12 x 18.
