Started making these in my 'free time'...I have a fun idea for them.
I've been making lots of these...it's coming along nicely.
This is part of a gift for my "crunchy granola" niece who is graduating from UT Austin. More kitcheny things to come for her.
No, I wasn't abducted by aliens and forced to drink the thimbleberry koolaid...this is a commission piece. I finished the first 10 of 40 blocks for this. Due date...early June.
I have so many people to thank...for mail, for selvages, for help...I'm getting to it, I really am. Jon's graduation quilt...9 days to finish that. 951 posts on my reader. Maybe after graduation.Is summer almost here?

Oh there is that vintage fabric of yours I love. Nice quilt too. It will be great and she'll love it.
Beautiful work. Thanks for showing us. I would say you are a busy woman!
Wow Jacquie - you have been super productive lately!Can't wait to see what you do with the "free time" blocks. Your selvedge blocks are gorgeous.
I really don't think that you sleep. Everything that you do is just absolutely stunning. You better get working on that quilt though the deadline is coming fast! Love it!!
I'm with Jackie- do you sleep? LOL!
Yesterday I used some of the aqua/teal Flea Market Fancy you sent. I was making a color wheel for a baby quilt and it was PERFECT in it. Thank you so much!
Nice work as usual. And your selvage blocks very, very cute. I'm sure the quilt they show up in will be something to see. Happy quilting!
Ha! I laughed out loud at the "forced to drink the Thimbleberry Kool-Aid" line! Hilarious! I'm about as anti-thimbleberry as they come.
I don't know how you do it all... I really don't. Continually impressive.
Busy, busy is right. All of your projects sound and look great.
I know you must sleep quilt, kidda like sleep walking but you get beautiful results!!!
well you can skip all my posts and hit them later...like next year.
cool stuff you're doing. and that "yes" word has gotten me in more trouble!! tis why my todo list is sooo much longer than my todone list...no matter how many things I finish!
Just beautiful as always - that commissioned quilt is going to be beautiful!
And I love the selvedge blocks..and the pot holders...and the new quilt design. Hope you get caught up - I hate that feeling!
It's all beautiful! I will send a little extra energy over from my kiddos - they have plenty to spare :)
Holy Cow!!! You're sooo busy, you're makin' me dizzy;) Maybe I should write a song...lol... It's all looking great!
you are amazing. you get so much done. i need some of your energy. your pot holders are cute. they would be great for my daughter. i might have to try them. your work is beautiful.
The selvedge blocks are wonderful! Everything really is looking so pretty. I am desperately awaiting summer when I can get things done. Only two weeks left!
You go girl! I can hardly wait to see what you do with the white blocks framed with the scraps. I just made some sewing machine covers with selvages and it was kind of a bear to quilt! I was using free motion meandering and the hopping foot would get caught on the lips of the selvages and make a fold sometimes. I will be interested in seeing how you quilt your selvage spider web quilt. I am getting a lot done thanks to your Spring to finish challenge for May. I think I'm going to be ready for a rest after this month though :)
Jacquie, you have been a busy bee! Love ALL your projects! and my reader probably has almost as many posts! YIKES! have a good weekend!
I've mentioned it before, but I like where you are going with thise top blocks...
good luck with all of that! :)
You are a busy girl, but I am so gald ...you inspire all of us to sew more quilts. Love the selvedge spiderweb quilt and the red blocks are gorgeeous. So may great ideas. Good luck on your son's graduation quilt!
Hmm... potholders with that fabric. Wonderful with the grey.
Keep it up.
Cute! I made some potholders for the first time last Christmas. Wasn't it fun? I also live in Austin, but i'm not crunchy granola.
Hey, check out the monster stuffed toy i've got on my blog today! It might make you smile!
I really love the charm pack frame around the white fabric. I'm so curious to know that your idea for it will be!
Wow! you are a bit of a superwoman with all that on the go! I am amazed. Good luck getting the graduation quilt finished - sewing vibes are being sent your way.
You are busy, as always. Just stopping by to see what loveliness you have created.
Enjoy your son's graduation and all your other projects!

I totally love those pot holders you made! Did you use a tutorial/pattern? I would totally love to make some for some friends of mine too. I especially think the grommet idea is awesome. I just have problems with binding. I tried to make some coasters with the same sort of idea but the binding got messed up. Way to go and you're almost there!

You're such amazing lady and very productive, Jacquie! Maybe I should wait till my kids big to be like you..:)
really hard to find free time for quilting when 3 little heads always surround you. The only time I have is when they're sleeping, but I also near to "collapse" at that moment ,LOL! Thanks for always sharing your works:)
Your progress on these is amazing -- a commission spiderweb quilt?? You are one brave lady!
Love all your WIPs. Selvages...so do you just keep the sections that have the dots or the name of the fabric?
So good to see you back in the thick of things Jacquie... sometimes life can just hit us for six... love your perfect piecing!! Lx
Holy Cow girl! What a life. But boy do you make some beautiful things.
WOW...you always blow me away with what you produce..
Ciao. Volevo dirti che il tuo blog mi รจ piaciuto molto.
Pretty impressive! Love them all!
You do wonderful work. Can't wait to see what your little quilty things become. I think Spring is one of the busiest times of the year. Don't wear yourself out.
Cant't you ever make something just a little bit rubbish...just to you know...make us feel better??!
I love reading your blog and seeing your wips and completed pieces. I almost always jump up after I read and go sew!
I love those fabrics in your "free time" project Jacquie! Anything with a retro vibe is sooooooo up my alley at the moment! I hope things are going good for you!
Love your ‘free time’ blocks!!
Summer is only 34 days away!
those potholders are beautiful! Your straight line/parallel quilting always amazes me!
