Every quilt project begins with fusing the fabrics with Mistyfuse. I was asked to make a 12” square fish quilt for SAQA Florida for their Fresh Fish exhibit that will be displayed at the SAQA conference in April of 2022

I had theses leftover from another project, and I thought they would make good fish bodies. These fabrics are from my Hopscotch fabric line with RJR 

And wouldn’t it be fun to use this bird fabric from my watercolors? 

Perhaps showing my sense of humor? 

The fish needed crowns too. This was fused onto a piece of black wool blended felt from National Nonwovens. I don’t use batting and don’t need to do binding

Under the sewing machine needle

The piece is backed with orange wool blended felt too. 12x12 The Flying Fish

The back, so you can see the stitching!

It nice to know when I planted the pea seeds!

New watercolor painting!



So happy!



If you don’t stand for something...



I have really enjoyed getting in touch of painting again 

I am fine. My sinuses were clear. It’s STRESS. Need more exercise and less news

I had a hard week with health issues and a project I’ve been working on since March has been a pain to deal with

Moving Along


Moving along and still safe at home

View from my coffee cup

Big gardening weekend, even though it was quite hot

I spend a lot of time in the pool swimming laps, treading water and just floating

Read, swim, relax



Some days just don’t go the way you planned

Pink daisies! So sweet

My friend Libby and I had our first social distancing lunch out on our patio, instead of in our cars

Working on my next fabric line with RJR Fabrics. It will be my 5th line with them!

Staying at home is weighing on me, so I have to think about the things I am thankful for 



I’ve been having sinus issues since January, and now I am going to take the leap and see an ENT

My short haircut is growing! 


New watercolor painting! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Have a good week!

I have to admit that the 4th of July was emotionally rough being by ourselves

32 years of 4th of July celebrations and we skipped it this year! 

Watched 13th on Netflix was eye opening about private prisons and injustice

I started a new painting project using 10” wood squares and acrylic paint

My sinus issues are taking a toll on me. I need to go see an ENT 

 View from my coffee cup to one of our raised beds go see how everything is growing

My brother unearthed a cassette tape from 1972 of our family talking and it was the highlight of my day to hear my grandmother’s voice

I go to my studio at least 3 days a week for a change of pace

Spent the day in my studio reading and painting

One of my abstract paintings



This is a metal heart that I am painting of a cup and saucer

Started a new book series while I wait for Elly Griffiths new book in the Ruth Galloway series to come out. I’ve read over 45 books since January

This is a chat book. It’s an app on my iPad. 8x8 size. I also like their 6x6” books. This documents the super bloom in my main garden. All of the pics from my iPad and from IG. I use chat books to document trips, our family, my artwork, etc. If you want to print one for yourself of your photos, use this CHAT BOOKS CODE JAMIEFINGAL-LAN7 for a discount!

I highly recommend the book The Sweeney Sisters. I have now read 45 books so far this year!



I had so many cucumbers in my farm box that I decided to make pickles

My sourdough game is going strong! Family history in full swing at my studio

My grandparents. She’s from Midvale, Idaho and he’s a native Californian

Too much zoom on this day. One with friends and one with the Craft Industry Alliance 

My coffee order arrived!




I gave myself a haircut

Working diligently on documenting and cleaning out papers and photographs for my family history

Going swimming, which has become a daily ritual 

Leading up the July 4. Our kids would usually be here getting ready for our family bash. I am really missing my kids!

Happy 4th of July. We had a quiet day together. Insane amount of illegal fireworks took over the sky

Pictures from precious years of our family party. 32 years of love, laughter and joy!
