When I got home from my weekend of gallivanting all around Creation with Sara, I had many packages in my mailbox. Smile. It sure is nice to have so many leads from all of you when I find myself short of fabric. Always Quilting, Snowy River Quilts, Quilt Patch Lane, and my friend Jean (In […]
I think this is such a pretty fabric group. Park Avenue by 3 Sisters. I often have issues incorporating blues into my quilts, but this little touch of pale aqua is going to work in just fine. A nice accent, not at all dominant. The super dark espresso brown really pleases me, and you all […]
Wow, there was so much interest yesterday in the information on how to expand the size of the Schnibbles Madeline block! If you would like instruction from the quilt designer herself, the fabulous Miss Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., go to her website, where she has provided the information on expanding a block by adding setting […]
I love this pattern. (Madeline, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.). I love this fabric. (Rounenneries by French General for Moda). I want to make this quilt, but I do not want a Schinbbles size quilt. I want a BIG quilt. Well, at least 70 inches or so square. But I don't want […]
Just so you know, I am not All Moda All the Time. I am All Moda Pretty Much of the Time, but do collect fabric from other manufacturers as well. The collection shown above is The Birds and the Bees by Keri Beyer for In the Beginning. This is such a fresh and energetic group […]
This week I want to show you some new fabric that has come into my life recently. The group pictured above is Rural Jardin, the new collection by French General for Moda. A generous benefactress, who pays me in fabric, sent it to me last week! Does it get any better than this? Will Work […]
I received a package in the mail this weekend from the very generous designer for whom I have been doing some stunt sewing. It came completely out of the blue and surprised the heck out of me! Inside the package were a ton of layer cakes, charm packs, her latest patterns, and a lovely note […]
That expression has long amused me. What does it mean? All hat and no cattle means someone who talks a good line, but doesn't have much in substance to back it up. And maybe that is what I have been guilty of lately. I sure have a lot of ideas for quilting projects, but haven't […]
I picked this pattern up recently, both because I liked the look of it, and because it is jelly roll friendly. Then I realized that the designer had featured the new fabric collection Martinique by 3 Sisters for Moda! Every season 3 Sisters reliably comes out with a great new collection. Martinique is their Spring […]
Did you all see Thelma's blog earlier this week? She showed some photos of a gorgeous Oriental Plate quilt that she had made. It was only her third quilt, and she used her imagination and math skills to figure out a wonderful border and a different setting than the pattern had dictated. When I saw […]
