A quick stop to look back and 

one thing is for sure...

FUN FOLD CARDS

I love making cards.

I hosted a luncheon for 3 of my friends

who are excellent makers.

This one is designed by

Robin Allen

And this one is a hoot!

inside greeting reads

"So I ate it" and there's a floating feather.

I designed some Dragonfly cards.

Debbe Sewertsein designed these two

And Vikki Almos

THE ‘GO WITH GOD’ BAG

Over the Christmas Holidays

I began making A Place for Everything Bag.

BY Annie

The first time I saw it another Quilter had made it.

I said, " Oh my…I have to make that bag."

She replied "Go With God!"

That scared me but also intrigued me.

Sew I began gathering all the pieces and parts

to begin this challenge!

I knew I wanted to use some OOP Ghastlies Fabrics 

That didn’t have the characters on them.

I broke it down into sections that I knew I had the skill set to finish.

Like cutting and labeling the pieces

Lots of pieces and parts to this one.

I was taking it very slow.

I quilted everything that needed quilted.

Made the biased binding.

Some new skills for me, like zipper tape

And putting in the slides.

LOTS of sticky notes just trying to stay organized.

I went slow and didn’t sew on it every day.

It’s coming along, sorta!

I’ll stopped to work on other projects.

I'll get back to it…

GHASTLIES NATION

There's a flag that needs to fly high

over Ghastlies Manor, in Ghastlies Nation!

and I plan to make that idea

into a fun quilt with Ghastlies fabric!

I'll use the Stars and Stripes pattern

by Thimbleblossoms.

I just love all the Basketweaves that AH fabrics

have made to go along with all the wonderful

Ghastlies prints.

Just laying out the ideas

keeps me happy and well, quite Ghastlie!

This should be sewn as my first project,

next Kwilty Girls retreat in April, 2026!
