this was the view in our front yard in Tennessee. Beautiful, isn’t it?
Currently, in South Dakota, we have this. Equally beautiful in my opinion!
See our house on wheels down there?
…since I last blogged. Let me give you the highlights of the last few months.
Our house went on the market in mid November. We have accepted an offer and the sale is pending!
The first week of December was our permanent relocation from Tennessee to South Dakota. It was, thankfully, an uneventful drive. We are happily tucked into our fifth wheel camper at Mr. DJ’s parents. The week after we arrived the temperatures bottomed out in the single digits for highs, but the little furnace kept us toasty. McGas Propane (yes, you read it right)
Do you use Color Catchers?
I don’t pre-wash fabrics when making quilts, so I like to have a way to protect from bleeding dyes when I wash them, at least for the first time. I washed these separately and threw a Color Catcher sheet in with each one.
Greetings from the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota! (Did I tell you I love it here?)
The quilts I made for H2H and the Sullivan Hills Quilt Auction are finished except for the crinkling! Please ignore the stray threads and “Yeller” hairs…they’ll get a good wash when I get back to Tennessee.
First of all, thanks to Sarah for spending so much time organizing this challenge. I’ll be linking up
The top for my H2H quilt is finished although I may add a border to make it a little bigger.
The blocks are super fast to put together! It’s basically a log cabin using two different size strips. All seam allowances are 1/4 inch and I pressed toward the strips.
A 5 inch
My long time blog friend, Terri, has designed some wonderful fabrics on Spoonflower …. they are scrumptious! She gave me permission to share them with you.

Terri has also been designing patterns and she shares tutorials, recipes and lots of other inspirational
This is the Color Challenge palette for May. Perfect for summer! And it’s not even moldy food! 
April’s palette
For many and varied reasons, I was not able to complete begin pull fabrics think about the challenge for April. You can see what some other creative souls did with
..but not much sewing.
This tiny thing is the only sewing project I completed, or even worked on, for the last month. It had to pull double duty as my Project Quilting #6 Challenge (create something using a zig zag pattern) and the March Color Palette challenge. It’s approximately 12” x 5”. I’ve named it “Mountain Reflection” because the world needs another mini quilt based on a mountain theme. :-/
