January Stitchy House & Cross My Heart Fabric Pull
This is first in a series by Erica Arndt. Her patterns were too adorable to resist. A fun diversion. Next year's post is my deadline to have each month framed; hold me to it!
Wendy Shepperd of Ivory Spring patterns is giving a shout out to participants in her Cross My Heart quilt along happening NOW on Instagram mostly. This genius creation, imho, was published in the February 2023 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting which is still on the stands.

Finished! Moment of Zen Baby Quilt
This is my third make from the Moment of Zen pattern, published by American Patchwork & Quilting magazine in April 2021.
The pattern is designed by Jo Kramer & her daughter Kelli, of Jo's Country Junction, whom we all know and love!
While the pattern is designed with fat quarters in mind, I say it works as a two-color quilt also!
This baby size quilt is a donation to the Johnson County Tennessee Pregnancy Support Center through my guild, Tennessee Sunshine.
I'll get around to documenting the prior two quilts from this pattern, in which I did use collections of fat quarters. It really can be a stash buster, or a great way to show off a designer collection.
I plan to do a lot more of this pattern!
P.S. Quilting magazine subscriptions are a great bargain. For less than three American dollars per issue you get ten to twelve on-trend patterns. To me, each issue is a bit of surprise happy mail !!

To-Do It Tuesday, 15 Minutes to Stitch, and More
I've been busy keeping up with my Blocks of the Week, yes multiples! Turns out it's 4 quiltalongs but 9 blocks per week, sometimes 10. It's all good because I'm feeling the quilty flow at the moment.
The above blue and white blocks are continuing with Jessica Dayon's Scrappy Sampler . She is really pushing my skills here; keep in mind these blocks are six inches! I am heavily invested in starch.
These three-inch churn dashes are plain white and "white wash" white, a reminder of the horse fences when I was growing up in the South. This is one of six 'color ways' so far in Pat Sloan's quilt along Secret Lives of Color.
Here's a glimpse of a squirrel that got my attention:
15 Minutes to Sew has gone great! I'm at 100 percent for the year.
Prior To Do Tuesday results are less than stellar because I'm simply frozen in place with the free motion circles. What? Are they hot coals? This is ridiculous. However:
-Keep up with 3 quilt alongs - DONE
-Post PhD in 2022 entry - DONE
-FMQ practice circles for green quilt - fail
-Name same green quilt needing completion - fail
Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward toward the mark....
To Do Tuesday for February 1:
-Practice the $%&-ing circles
-Continue keeping up with the 3 plus QALs
That's it; low goals are easier, lol.
Linking up with To Do Tuesday at Texas Quilt Gal, and 15 Minutes to Stitch at Life in Pieces.

PhD in 2022 - Finishing School
Disclaimer: I only loosely hold to these particular 12+ UFOs to finish. Even though they are the closest to done. But ya'll know how that goes. I hereby reserve the right to toss any from my large list of UFOs into the finished salad at any time.
Thanks to Quilting Gail for hosting the PhD in 2022 challenge, in which we bare our 'sewl' just a bit.
And thank you for reading and maybe commenting on my blog!
