Sharing a Quilt Pattern and a Memory

Pin Wheel Quilt Block Pattern from The Quilt Ladies

Happy 2024
It’s my time of the year to set up my happiness.
This year is going to be a time of change, my art, my quilts, taking better care of myself and enjoying everything, every day and every moment. 2023 ended with so many positives that I have to keep the love, laugher and joy going.

With new, I can’t forget the old and here is my Great-Great Grandmothers quilt and I added the pin wheel quilt pattern for you here.
This post was from my The Quilt Ladies site, the original and it still makes me happy.

As I get 2024 started I want to take a moment to share a bit of happy, Husband and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary pretty much all year in 2023, love doing that. Trips with kids and grand kids and a huge over the top trip for the month of November. Once home we had to deal that Husband’s heart surgery and I can only say, it’s all done! He’s back, up and doing healthy. It sounds easy but was all hard work to stay focused and deal with it all. My Tricks

Don’t forget to share happiness with those around you! A simple smile or kind gesture can go a long way in brightening someone’s day. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or even a stranger, please try and make an effort to spread joy wherever we go.(my Hallmark moment)

Happy 2024,
let’s do it all with kindness, joy, love and laughter.

Corn and Beans a Quilt Block

This is one of the quilt block from my old Quilt Ladies site and it took off on Pinterest???? I have NO idea how or what makes one quilt pattern do that and other’s not?? But, this quilt block’s name is “Corn and Beans” and being an Iowa girl this quilt block was all about the name. Doing this quilt block you will use many different types, triangles, quarter square triangles and flying geese.
