Surgery complete! My nine-year-old nephew sent me four of his stuffed animals that needed surgical attention from some hard play! They’re all sewn 🧵 🪡 up and about to be shipped off back to their house!

A little behind in posting my adventures. Over the past two months we’ve had a couple sets of visitors; and have gone out of town a couple times, it’s been deliciously busy (yeah we’ve gone buck wild since getting vaccinated ha ha). When our friends Jason and MJ visited in early April we took them to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. See yesterday’s tierneycreates blog post (link in bio) for more images of Garden of the Gods in B&W.

Okay Colorado, you win. You’ve stolen my heart.

The latest public library 📚 stack: waiting for the weekend and a large pot of tea!

No vegan options at Colorado’s oldest restaurant....

Irish pub hopping with Visiting Irish friends ☘️ @kathy_quilts

Here’s the baby wrapped in the quilt I made him 😀❤️

Hmm...A forest of flannel trees appears to be growing out of my design wall... I am finally getting around to making the “Sasquatch/Bigfoot” (I guess in Colorado where I live now it’s known as “Yeti”)quilt that many of my Pacific NW quilting friends were making a couple years ago when I lived in Oregon (pattern is “Legendary” by @elizabethagh). I am making the quilt entirely from scraps and leftovers from my friend @kathy_quilts Sasquatch Quilt, as well as fabric from @chambersdalix quilt. The blank spot on the second row of trees is where Sasquatch goes! The tree on the left is leftover piecing from @kathy_quilts that I’m going to use in the pieced quilt back.

Thanks to @blkmakersmatter for featuring me on Maker Monday 😀

Sweet, simple and silly moments of pleasure: when you discover a snack in your jacket pocket that you shoved in there yesterday and forgot about. And yes cashews taste great with pocket lint! 😀

Mr. Woodworker completed the new dresser! In the future he plans to make matching nightstands and a built in window seat with storage (I will make the cushion of course Ha ha ha Ha). I am really impressed that he drafted the plans for this dresser on his own inspired by a picture he saw on Pinterest of a Scandinavian style dresser!

The boys have made amazing progress! Next up is massive sanding, mineral oil/beeswax finish, adding the back and then the handles and then Voila my new dresser!

Magic is going on at my house! “Mr. Woodworker” and I have our friends MJ and Jason visiting and Jason is quite handy - the boys are building a dresser for our bedroom while the ladies watch and Mike the Miniature Schnauzer pleads to have them throw the ball.

Baby quilt all done (a little wrinkly after it’s laundering - I launder so new parents have no fear of laundering it).

Exploring Denver’s culinary scene - trying a different highly rated restaurant each week. This week - yummy tapas!

Finished the #boxytoolpouch by #sotakhandmadepatterns - I made the medium sized one with sweet dog print Japanese canvas fabric I had in my stash. @chambersdalix @kathy_quilts @kait_sews

Found this while thrifting and immediately put it up on my studio wall!

One of those cool random discovery moments: For fun I was googling my name and discovered that one of my art quilts (“Recycled Windows”) is featured on the City of Seattle’s (Seattle.gov) website for their Ethnic Heritage Art Gallery page. What is interesting is it is not one of the four art quilts the City purchased from me for their Portable Works collection. It’s actually one that I own and I didn’t even know they had a photo of! This random discovery made me smile! #artquilts

Baby quilt top is done, made from a jelly roll. I will trim up the edges after I machine quilt it. #jellyrollquilt

Working on another baby quilt this time made from an old jelly roll I found in the back of my precut stash and using a pattern from an old book. More on my latest tierneycreates blog post... #jellyrollquilt
