Weekly Quilt Block Pattern

Pin Wheel Around Quilt Block

This is one of my quilt block patterns and I named it,
Pin Wheel Around.

I took 2- five inch Charm packs and made all the blocks I am sharing. I don’t over think quilt fabric colors much…a light, a dark color.
I like the idea of cut, grab, sew! Just the way I’ve been lately. the gray and orange.

Let’s Make A Quilt, it’s OUR 47th Wedding Anniversary !

A Table Topper Quilt Pattern to Make

Forty-seven years of marriage—can you believe it?
That’s 17,155 days of wedded bliss, occasional debates over everything, and more shared meals than we can count (some more successful than others), I really do try?!?

And since 47 years deserves a little something special and I love a simple quilt project, they are kind of like a marriage, quilting requires patience, creativity, and a good seam ripper.

Seams are perfectly straight, but sometimes they need a little adjustment, and in the end, it all comes together beautifully (kind of like Husband and I).

So here’s to 47 years of love, laughter, and never quite agreeing on why we need a eating schedule?!? Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to celebrate—with cake, of course.
Cheers to love, stitches, and YOU make this happy table topper, it’s one I use all the time. It has a finished size of 18″ x 24″, made with simple 2 1/2″ squares. Nothing better than 2 1/2″ cut squares.

70 – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ red quilt squares
Sew 7 quilt squares across and 10 down,

Cut 2 Red – 20 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
Sew to the long sides

Cut 2 Red – 14 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
Cut 4 Corner – 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
Sew to the 14 1/2″ Strip
Sew to the Top and Bottom
Cut Binding 2 1/2″ x 86″

A good wall hanging and table center piece.

Tired and Always Tired?!?

Making Always Tired a Good Thing?

Tired? You know what tired means? It means you actually did something and I keep telling myself that.
I Googled “tired” and it talked about running marathon, a brisk walk…I am talking about every OLD age bone hurting in my body, EVERY BONE.

And, let me be honest, I get good sleep.
You ever try to fall asleep when you’re well-rested? It’s awful. I just lie there, making sure the cable box light doesn’t go out, or making sure I planned the grain to go the right directions for the counter top project we are doing, or did I shower tonight?

BUT tired when sleep hits me it’s like a bear hug under my quilt. One minute I am thinking, “I should read” and the next, I wake up with drool on your pillow. Kind of Perfection.

Plus, I guess being old I can blame everything on being tired.
I put the milk in the pantry and my coffee cup in the fridge?
Tired.
Accidentally call your Husband, “Mom”?
Yep, tired again.

“And Yes, I ate the last four cookies, OF COURSE I DID, I was tired.”
See? Works every time.

So really, tired isn’t a bad thing???
Let the Library, office and sewing room remodel continue and YES, we put down the tile floor ourselves and YES it about KILLED me !
Just saying, “Good and Tired!”
