Block Five of Nine.
I love that solo red poppy. AMH fabric—somehow my stash of this seems to have grown in the night. 😳

After visiting Dublin, Ireland, and the beautiful Merrion Squar in that city, I came home and designed a quilt pattern that shows a series of houses around a central square. This version is in blues and greens. Other versions are multi-colored. The pattern is in my pattern shop on PayHip; Link in Bio.

Another quilt that was inspired by a neighborhood: Merrion Square in Dublin, Ireland. #quiltsky #opquilt More info in ALT.

A quilt with a series of colorful houses on differently colored squares. It's a pattern I wrote which you can find on PayHip.com. Link is in bio.

Every month I swap out the little quilt on our kitchen table. Here’s September: stars shining brightly, an oldie but goodie.
It’s an OPQuilt pattern with all kinds of little blocks inside sawtooth stars. #quiltsky #opquilt

Blue quilt squares with a polka dot squircle shape. A case of Super Bobs bobbins, a box of appliqué pins, and a little container of thread conditioner, from Riley’s Acres on ETSY.

In my recent post, I mention Rachel’s thread conditioner, with a link to her ETSY shop. It’s my favorite, made with beeswax from her own beehives in Wisconsin. If you don’t have a fav, consider hers. #opquilt #squircles Those are also my fav appliqué pins: short, with a tip.

Yep. I’m squircling.

Cactus-themed quilt shown in a stand of cacti.

We took the quilt out into the neighborhood to photograph it in a massive stand of cactus. The close-up shows the piecing and the quilting. #quiltsky #opquilt

Quilt block not fully sewn shows parts of a cactus: three arms, three blossoms and a center trunk.

Now that this quilt has been gifted, I can show it on media. Pattern is Oh My Cacti from Pen & Paper Patterns. #quiltsky #opquilt
