This quilt block from The Ladies Quilt Pattern Book has taken on a life of it’s on Pinterest ! Who would have thought this little star quilt ?!?! So here is it again !
I love seeing which quilt blocks catch your eye. Sometimes it’s a block I never expected to be a favorite—and then Pinterest takes over! That’s one of the things I love about quilting. A simple little block can become something completely different depending on the fabrics, colors, and quilter making it.
With 68 different blocks to choose from, you can make The Ladies Quilt as shown in the book, pick a few favorites for a smaller quilt, make pillows or table runners, or simply work your way through the blocks one at a time.
And if Pinterest has taught me anything, it’s this: Never underestimate a good little quilt block! It’s HERE – in Print and eBook
Meeting EVERY Tuesday to quilt is My Ladies. Doing large projects to small ones, they come together with baskets of fabric, ideas and laughter. “The Ladies”
They talked about it from time to time, doing a quilt pattern book and finally it was time to draw out their favorite quilt blocks and share them with all of you. All the quilt blocks stitched together, a quilt design (finished quilt measures 76″ x 84″ ) and that’s what became “The Ladies” Quilt Pattern Book.
Here is one of the Quilt Patterns from the book. The book has 68 quilt blocks, with a finished size of eight inches by eight inches. Here is my tutorial on How “I” make my triangles
Making a simple quilt pattern into a fantastic quilt pattern it’s easy and remember it’s ONLY a square. Making nine patch quilt block
This is just the next step in a nine patch quilt block. By adding more squares in different colors you can transform a nine-patch into a completely new quilt block.

Been a bit since it’s been about ME ! Caregiving is hard and you seem to not matter much. Nights are SO long and days even longer. But, we are seeing a bit of light. So, with Husband doing PT, 3 times a week and me doing the driving. I usually read and wait but last week I dropped him and did some shopping. This was 40% off and I went back around the store to get it as I had an idea ! Do my flowers, stitches and hang it on our front door. I pulled out all my acrylic paint, markers, brushes, water and covered the dining room table. I have to say, it made me happy !
It had flower outlines and I used them, added me !

This quilt is a gift quilt for a Grand graduating. I made and worked on it when Husband was getting better and the moments I needed to step away in the same house. SO

I am writing with a very heavy heart. I am going a head with what I had planned, BUT…
Well…I tried, but goals change…sometimes really fast. I had good intentions about going back to the gym this year. Really solid plans of course a new outfit, new shoes, half the reason to go !Free Quilt Pattern
But here’s the thing… (having a thing is like, I got a guy for that project) I’m back to swimming every day instead. Turns out after 2 weeks and 5 visits my knees, my schedule, and my general attitude all voted for I am staying with the pool. No loud music, no mirrors, no pretending I enjoy machines. My steady pace, quiet water, and a reminder that moving your body doesn’t have to make me feel “Am I doing it right?”
So, my only buy a month plan was good, my start small plan as good and the weather changed from the 50’s to the 70’s, have invited me back into the pool of possibilities of feeling better.
