I have a quilt in the works with star blocks in lots of rich batiks. The top is assembled and ready to quilt.

I am hoping to make a pumpkin quilt pattern for fall.

next on my bucket list to learn to sew in circles. I know it is not difficult, but I look at it and how to do it and I feel like: opps it can wait. But I have to tackle this

I don’t usually have a bucket list, but I just yesterday decided I would tackle a Carpenter’s Star. Now I’ve put it down in writing, so I guess it is official.

I have a pattern from Lynn Pillus that is a collage style sewing machine.

Next project would be making star blocks to go with my half- square triangle Island Batik blocks.

I’ve long wanted to make a drundards path quilt, but the curved seams scared me. Which is weird, since I have no problem sewing set in sleeves and other curves. LOL! I love the new batiks! Thank you.

One of my current quilt projects is to finish a QAL from earlier this year by Sandra Walker who used to be an IB Ambassador. I’m using only IB fabrics that I’ve won and collected for her Rainbow Neighborhood. My other WIP is a Kng Size Curvy Log Cabin using the remains of my IB fabrics. I think I need to go shopping soon.
