Pink String Quilt Blocks for Rainbow Challenge

The color this month for the Rainbow Challenge is Pink. I am making string blocks each month. Here are my pink string blocks. Not sure how many blocks I will need or how I will set the quilt, so I am making several blocks in every color, but might need to make more of one or more colors later once I play with the setting.

I don't know why the background looks green? Weird.

More pink blocks.

Sew Powerful Purse #112 for 2026

On the Sew Powerful Facebook group our monthly challenge for fun is Rainy Day Blues. So anything blue like birds, flowers, etc. or anything Spring, such as Spring rain, umbrellas, gardening, etc. I already made and shared a purse flap in blues, so I thought an umbrella appliqué would be fun to make and share now. I used scraps for the umbrella and added crystals like raindrops on and above and below the umbrella, along with a few heart buttons. This will be donated soon to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

Here is the entire flap.

Sew Powerful Purses #106-110 for 2026

5 more purses finished. Donating to Sew Powerful Purse Project. These were all made using denim jean scraps leftover from making upcycled denim jean purses. I placed a black tulle over the denim scraps and quilted it to hold it together and cut out the various purse pieces needed to make the purse. I added appliqué on the flaps and stitched with a blanket stitch around each appliqué piece. The second purse was stitched with decorative stitches without tulle on the flap, but all purse pieces do have the tulle overlay.

Decorative stitches and no tulle overlay on the flap.

This was a fabric postcard I made many years ago, so I decided to add it to this flap.

Hope is a die cut.

Feather & Fan Handknit Scarf

I knit this scarf with yarn that I hand dyed years ago. My favorite scarf to wear is a Feather and Fan scarf in a worsted weight yarn, so I wanted to knit another scarf and this scarf was knit with Fingering weight yarn. I love this stitch pattern with the waves. It's an easy to knit pattern too. I hand dyed this yarn many years ago.

Stay at Home Round Robin Quilt (SAHRR) 2026

My SAHRR quilt is finished! Quilted and binding done. I will be donating this quilt to Ukraine via Wrap the World With Quilts. The quilt measures 34.5" x 40.5"

I backed the quilt with the purple and orange floral fabric that is a flannel fabric and added this label that started off as a quilt block for the front, but it was too large and didn't work, so I made the smaller Friendship Stars on the front instead and saved this block to use as a label.

Just a pretty fabric used for the flap. I love that bird and the flowers.

Baby zebra mini panel with scraps sewn around to make it the correct flap size.
