I am so happy to share this Sweet Escape quilt with you all. It has been on my design wall for ages, just waiting for me to sew the rows together. It wasn't such a hard task after all, and it feels great to have it done. The Sweet Escape Sew Along was hosted by […]
The binding is going well. I've been sitting on the porch with an audio book and stitching for awhile every day. This Fig Tree runner looks so pretty on my dining table. I love the toned down colors for summer. The colors in this one definitely are not toned down, but it is so darn […]
I think one of the reasons I have been avoiding my sewing room is due to all the nearly finished projects that have been piling up over the past year. I don't know what finally got me up there, but I bit the bullet this weekend and attached the binding to 9 quilts. Yes 9. […]
I am so happy with this finish! Putting the blocks together was a project and a half, and I admit to getting bogged down when it came to sewing them together. The blocks have been on my design wall for weeks and weeks. The pattern is Signs of String by Clark Street Quilts and the […]
It's a red and white Christmas at my house. My quilter sent home my red and white quilt just in time for the holidays. It still needs its bindings, but that can happen during the next few days. I photographed it outside my sewing room, next to my upstairs tree, where it looks very Christmassy […]
It is with a rather large feeling of relief that I tell you that my red and white quilt is finally a finish. The blocks started out as a Christmas sew along sponsored by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. The sew along was just a jumping off point for me, as I made a […]
Here is a little sideways view of my almost completed red and white Christmas quilt. I have been getting up into the sewing room sporadically and making the rest of the flying geese. Only three more strips of ten geese to go, then I will assemble the sections. The final step will be to add […]
I'm proud to say I applied myself to the task and completed the bindings on four quilts over the weekend. Three of them were table runners, but they are done and I am enjoying them as part of the Fall decor. That's my dining table above. The runner is my own creation. Inspired by a […]
Well, I have somehow nodded off and woken up to ten quilts needing bindings. How did that even happen? This one has been sitting on the back of the couch in the library for a month, waiting for me to hand sew it down. Five more unbound quilts are lined up on the upstairs railing. […]
Time for a little progress update. I have been doing things, I swear. I got this last minute little table runner on the table on July 4. Actually, I have had it a couple of weeks but only finished the binding on Wednesday. I love the little stars and swirl quilting design. You can see […]
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
