During the Covid-19 Consider the Lilies lock down series, I used up 13 spools of thread! 

Pretty good.


 The three large back row ones were almost gone anyways. 
Still impressive. 
All the smalls were used for bobbin thread as the large cone
in the back has been suppling me with my top threads.
I have 7 more of those large cones. 


So you see, I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse.


My goal is to consolidate til I only have one little brown thread holder.
I'm on my way up!

Brown and Cream Consider the Lillies


There were only going to be four of these little Consider the Lillies quilts. This one was sneaky. But I'm glad it was! It might just be the best one! It keeps eyes busy for hours. Well, it could. Let's be real. Who has hours to stare at a quilt? Next time, I'm going to make it so you can't see the individual squares... making it harder to determine the difficulty of the quilt. It's funner that way.


I found this idea a little too late to do this with the others. I wish I had seen it before I started all this. I would have loved to have done this with the purple quilt. Let's face it. The purple quilt needs help. It certainly is not going to be considered for any quilter's choice awards.

They say don't pick favorites, your quilts will feel bad.


Lastly. 
This quilt really is square. 
Even if it doesn't look it.

Love is Sunshine

This is such a happy quilt!! It is pretty down to its core and I love it. Plus, it is the 4th addition to the Consider the Lillies series. 







 Claudia gave this amazing backing to me. It is a beautiful textured fabric that is so soft. I loved it right away and am thrilled that it matched so perfectly for this quilt! It turned out to not be big enough for a full backing. However, I'm actually really glad it wasn't because I prefer it like this. My photo is blurry at the top. So you'll just have to trust me that it's way good.


I have a hard time writing on fabric with pen. I am always looking for a magical pen that will let me write with ease. I think if I had that my labels would look better.
