I have really enjoyed the two sew alongs in which I participated in 2017. Triangle Gatherings by Lisa Bongean and Moda BlockHeads by Moda. The nature of both these sew alongs is that one would make one block a week for the BlockHeads, and one or more blocks per week for Triangle Gatherings. My […]
Still working on Courthouse Steps blocks here. I have made 49 out of 80, so I am more than half way there. I am enjoying the mix of fabrics and the interplay of the lights and darks. And since it really is a quilt made from leftovers, there are lots of memories to revisit from […]
I did the random number generator thing and Pat Seidle is the winner of the three Jo Morton/Kim Diehl books. I am sure she will be able to keep track of them better than I was! Enjoy them Pat, and happy sewing. Now that my design wall is all cleared off, I have brought out […]
Here is sweet little Barn Stars, a Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots offering from a couple of years ago. I had subscribed to the bi monthly kits, but quit the club when I realized the kits were piling up and I wasn't making them. I have recently dipped back into that bin of kits and have […]
This scrappy nine patch quilt was inspired by a plastic bag full of 2 inch squares left over from another project, and the pattern "Loose Change" by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. The pattern is in a book called Miss Rosie's Quilt Collection. The Miss Rosie quilt is made from 2 1/4" strip sets. Since I […]
Drumroll please…I am so proud to present my first finish of 2018. This is Triangle Gatherings 2017, a year long project hosted by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. I thoroughly enjoyed this year long saga, and want to thank Lisa for her generosity in hosting the sew along and providing the many different block settings. […]
I think my motto for 2018 should be "Use It Up". We had a great discussion about saving scraps yesterday, and I thank all of you who weighed in with what size scraps you save. It has really given me something to think about. Many of us have scrap bins it seems, but not all […]
How cute is this little mini quilt? The measurements at this point are 19" x 28'. There will be one last narrow border of one of the black prints, but it hasn't arrived yet. I found someone on Etsy who was selling some of this Kathy Schmitz Round Robin fabric, which has been out since […]
Yesterday was pretty much my idea of a perfect day. I finished up my little friendship blocks, and will sew them together today after I switch out a block or two that I don't like. There will be a sweet little pieced border on this, and a final outer border. I am thinking it will […]
I had so much fun making these 6 1/2 inch Pineapple blocks with the Creative Grids ruler. The blocks came out so perfect. I'd love an entire quilt of these little blocks. I have to say, I think a whole quilt would take a ton of fabric. What a stash buster though. In other […]
