Since getting the cast off my arm, I've been making small projects! My wrist is still recovering from the break, so I've found making minis is easier on my wrist. Here are 6 I've made in the past couple weeks:

Yay for the cast coming off!!! What a great collection of Minis you have made!!! ( you really don't understand the word rest do you haha!!) I am really drawn to Primavera! Great colors and quilting!!
ReplyDeleteAll of your minis are adorable! I think Primavera would be great made on a big scale for a throw quilt.
ReplyDeleteShe has the same block as a throw--also a free pattern!!! https://www.quiltdstudios.com/products/primavera-quilt-pattern-pdf-download-free
DeleteI love these minis! Thanks for sharing! Glad you are recovering and can do some sewing again!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad to learn your cast is gone and you are working your way back to normal! Be good to yourself! Rest and do little things. Best wishes! I would love to see the big quilt behind your Valentine display! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been having fun, Nancy! So glad your cast is off and hope the wrist is feeling good. I love your mini quilts - especially the Valentine and St. Patrick's ones with all the little squares!
ReplyDeleteLove all your little projects. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy the cast is off! The minis are great little projects! I especially love the Primavera...you chose the perfect quilting design for it! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are returning to quilting! Love the minis!! Thanks for linking up your finishes on my blog for TGIFF.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! Cute, cute, CUTE. All of them. So glad you are taking it easy with your cast removed but are back in the game. What a fun variety. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection of predominately seasonal minis. The Urban Elements pantograph really captured my eye. What a fabulous choice to add interest to the modern quilt block.
ReplyDeleteGreat to be free of cast! And your minis are delicious. Cute little fussy cut hearts, and Primavera is stunning! I love Cherry Blossoms quilting pattern, such a perfect design for your mini strawberry! It feels like Spring ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing!
Your minis are so fun, Nancy! Love the sweet strawberry pretty. Great to see you are sewing again. It must feel wonderful to be free from the cast.
ReplyDeleteOoh I like that modern quilt block and its quilting design.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great batch of mini quilts, Nancy! The Valentine mini would make a perfect entry for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge on my blog at the end of the month. Hint! Hint! :o))
ReplyDeleteThose mini quilts are all lovely, the apple one is especially adorable and I love the fussy cutting on the valentine one.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My little quilt stand is one of my favorite decore items, and I change out the quilt fairly often. It's holding a Valentine mini right now.
ReplyDeleteAs if something like a broken wrist could keep a quilter like you down for long! Yay for getting your cast off and getting back into the swing of things with these minis!
ReplyDeleteHooray for leaving that cast behind! Your mini quilts are so cheery and the fabrics so fun. I chuckled when you wrote that you would rather cut 2 1/2 inch square to 2 inches rather than cut into a two inch strip. . . .that is so me!!! Be gentle with that wrist. . .it has a lot of catching up to do!---TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you have the cast off of your arm and you are getting back into your groove. Your mini quilts are adorable. I wish you all the best on your healing journey, Nancy. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you sewing again! How fun that you took a Joe Cunningham class! All of the quilts look great!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet minis!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the cast is off!! Your minis are so sweet! I notice you use red snappers - I have them but took them off because they were so hard to get on.. any tips? xx
ReplyDeleteOh! Forgot to say thanks for joining in on Monday This and That!! xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having fun even if you are still recuperating!! So glad your cast came off and you are able to use it more. The nurse in me has to say - Don't overdo it!! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteGreat little finishes! Thanks for sharing. Refresh my memory , is your longarm computerized ? Zenia Rene
ReplyDeleteYes, I added a computer in 2020! Love it, too!!!
DeleteNancy, I love your idea of a mini quilt for special days. I have some table runners for special days/month too. Your little red mini is adorable.
ReplyDeleteJane in Australia
Glad your are healing! Love that apple with a heart. Perfect for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge on my blog, Nancy! Your mini was a sweet addition to the Link Party.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, I'm glad that you're slowly able to work on quilts. Your minis look great!
