Hope you all enjoyed the nice three day weekend. I know it was a bank holiday in England, and of course for we Americans it was Memorial Day. I have always thought it odd that we say "Happy Memorial Day". Woo hoo, big sale at Home Depot. Fire up the barbeques. Seriously there is nothing […]
I made a little test block for the Laundry Basket "Aurora" project I am embarking upon. It is an adorable little four inch finished block. There are 127 of them called for in the quilt top. I will probably be working on this project for the next three years. Those are tiny little star blocks. […]
Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. Mine was lovely. Lots of time with family, what could be better? My daughter and her husband came over for brunch (which she mostly prepared), and we had a great visit. Later in the day, my son in law (ex) invited us over for a barbeque, and […]
Thanks for all your thoughts on what to do when you aren't feeling the love for your current quilting project. So many of you suggested putting the project away for now and picking up something new. The project you put away isn't necessarily a dud, it just isn't what you need right now. It can […]
I am kind of stalled out on this project, to tell you the truth. Not long ago, I finished a Double Nine Patch quilt that called for many nine patch blocks, and it was probably not the best idea to start another project involving nine patch blocks so soon. I have really been putting off […]
This is my other new project: 131 9th and Vine. It makes up into a very large quilt, without a lot of effort. No fussy blocks, no small pieces. All the 9 patch blocks can be strip pieced, and I am clipping along rapidly using my Bloc Loc strip ruler. This will be such a […]
I started a couple of new projects over the weekend. This is a block from a Minick and Simpson pattern called Liberty Road. In the pattern version, they made the quilt from their Charlevoix fabric collection, but I missed out on that one. I am using Ann's Arbor for my version, which is a very […]
I am so happy with this little quilt. I do have the top together, but I ran out of time yesterday. I still need to attach the corner squares and trim the quilt edges to be square. I will share a full size picture when I get that accomplished. I won't lie, sewing these lattices […]
Hope this photo doesn't make anybody dizzy. I have all the blocks made for the Jo Morton S'mores quilt–I believe there are 113 square in a square blocks and 28 pieced setting triangles, and 4 pieced corner triangles. I think I am going to love this quilt when I get it put together, but the […]
All the blocks for the Double Nine Patch quilt are finished. In fact there are enough blocks leftover to make another half a quilt because I took out all the dark brown fabrics. This involved a lot of ripping, but I decided I just didn't like the look of the dark brown nine patches. Now […]
