Finished quilt 43 x 54 and looks better than the picture. A photographer I am not. #quilting #handmade #orphanblocks https://www.instagram.com/p/BsBpZFXHEGMkAkZYGRbNTFYL17wOSwkzxMF4Q00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cfuu9mh69b9w

The life of an orphan block is often a sad one, seriously how many pillow covers can you make before your friends start avoiding you? These 6 1/4" rails where a hand off from a friend who was moving. Phase 1 decided to convert to half square triangles, picture with arrow. This yielded 7 blocks that looked a like not enough for a quilt in my book. Added 11 1/2" filler blocks and the quilt measures 34 x 44 and change, definitely adding a border or two. Happy with table runner I got using just the 6 1/4" original orphans, done in a rail fence style. #quilting #handmade #orphanblocks https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_Fet0H4VUskh6KJAgoLhxX3UX4N6iO-I6guQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rarw1x9oqpif

Second post of quilty wishes that were granted for me. These are so fabulous and I can’t wait to get started making things with them. Tagging the pics on IG with the person that gifted them.

Yay! My favorite time of the year!! Thanks @raven2006 for arranging this. Check out her original post for all the details. I’ve already volunteered to grant several wishes! 🥰 My wish is for orphan blocks. Any blocks that you don’t plan to use after you made them. Any colors, any size, any amount, etc. I promise to give them a good home. I’m in the USA 🇺🇸. #getyourquiltywishesgranted7 #orphanblocks #usa #getyourquiltywishesgranted2021 #fabric #swap #sewing #wishgranted https://www.instagram.com/p/CV75RmUlr6f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Two more sets of placemats finished this weekend. I had a lousy week and didn’t have the time or energy to work in my craft studio too much but finally felt in the mood to go in it today and I’m glad I did. I have yet to list any of the new stuff I’ve made these last few months so I’m making it my goal to work on that this coming week. Of course I’ve probably said that every week of the last few months but this time I mean it!! 😂 #quiltedplacemats #sewing #orphanblocks #getyourquiltywishesgranted6 #52weeksewingchallenge #52weeksewingchallenge2021 #placemats #tablesetting @etsy #linkinbio https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaYK_GDUUp/?igshid=1oas8gemimjj4

Got 25 more hot pads and mug rugs finished today. These are all from the orphan quilt blocks I was sent as quilty wishes a few months ago. My husband really likes the shot glass ones in the last picture. Not sure if I’ll list them individually or as a set or sets. I have a lot more ready to sandwich together with batting and still need to get all these listed on Etsy. #hotpad #mugrug #quilting #orphanblocks #hyggehome #quiltblocks #shotglasses #getyourquiltywishesgranted6 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPsXzrj2xo/?igshid=1wm9r347l76g9
