Continue reading →: Pillow backs and more veterans quiltsI got the last 5 pillow backs made today. I’m so glad that I bought a big lot zippers off eBay a few years ago. A lot of them are extra long and I needed that for these pillow backs. It probably paid for the whole lot just in these…

Continue reading →: Pillow progressI made great progress on the pillows yesterday. The only thing I had to do was laundry and an acupuncture appointment. Otherwise, I was focused on the pillows. I got all of the squares cut for 11 pillows, 275 squares. Then I started on the backs. Some are really easy…

Continue reading →: Two veterans quilts doneI got the two veterans quilts quilted yesterday. Both of these were made from the 9-patch block exchanges that the club did in 2025. One of these was made by Mom and the other by Karen. Today I don’t have to go anywhere so I can make some good progress…

Thanks to him, I had the “pleasure” of watching the sunrise as we left Greenville, TX for Knoxville, TN. For the first 2 days, I worked…

Continue reading →: On our way homeWe really enjoyed our stay in Tucson. I feel bad for everyone who had to deal with the bad weather at home. If we had been home, we would have been stuck there for 2 weeks. Instead we got to rebuild our vitamin D stores and have some fun adventures.…

Continue reading →: Hats, bears and the Petrified ForestWe had a lovely little side trip to the Petrified Forest Monday and Tuesday. I have too many photos below. But first, the makes. When we got home I finished the last bear! I wanted to lay them all out for a group photo but I don’t have a space…

Continue reading →: Bears and hawksI only have a couple of things to share since my last post 4 days ago. We continue to have a great time enjoying hot, sunny days. I haven’t had a lot of sewing time but I’ve had enough to complete 4 more bears. Only one left to go! I…
Hello,
I’m Vicki
I’m Vicki Welsh and I’ve been making things as long as I can remember. I used to be a garment maker but transitioned to quilts about 20 years ago. Currently I’m into fabric dyeing, quilting, Zentangle, fabric postcards, fused glass and mosaic. I document my adventures here.
