I feel pretty good about my use of time on my day off yesterday. I got almost all the bindings attached to my Christmas gift quilts. This landing area upstairs outside my sewing room is my staging area for quilts waiting for the binding to be hand sewn down. And Lord love me, do I ever […]
What is it about bindings anyway? Gosh they are tedious. I have a massive quilt give away planned for my family this Christmas, and the writing is on the wall: if I don't get cracking on the bindings these quilts won't be ready. I have the eight you see in this photo, four more not […]
Halloween Bounce is almost finished. I just need to add one more plain background fabric border to the outside edges. It is all cut out and ready to be attached. This weekend was a bit crazy, getting ready for house guests, attending the wedding and going out of town on Sunday to celebrate a family […]
Didn't this quilt turn out pretty? It is August Blooms, an ancient Fig Tree pattern I started probably ten years ago. It was my first serious machine appliqué project. I had such a nice stash of Fig Tree fabrics then, and a friend sent me a box full of her Fig Tree scraps, and this […]
I am working my way through the stack of quilt tops needing to be finished: sending them out for quilting, attaching borders, sewing down bindings–I am getting it done a bit at a time. Here is Viola, a Miss Rosie pattern, that took me an inordinate amount of time. There was lots of piecing in […]
In honor of my Year of Getting It Done, I put the outer border on my Steam Punk quilt. This special quilt called for a border, but a subtle one. I think the off white print fits the bill, allowing the focus to be on those glorious spinning propeller blocks. This will go out for […]
The miles of binding are completed, and Sara's Log Cabin quilt is installed on her bed. Remy jumped right up on it and told us he thought it would be ok. What is it with our pets and new quilts? They always want to lie down on them to test them out. How many times […]
As part of my Year of Finishing Projects, I have just completed my Tumbler quilt. I had previously thought this quilt was a finish, but after some reflection, decided it needed a couple of borders. I used some solid black for a narrow containment border, and cut up the fabric I had intended to […]
Oh dear, I have to admit I got side tracked again over the weekend. I was rummaging around in the garage and found a project box labeled Mystery Block of the Month 2013. When I opened the box, I discovered 12 completed blocks of the month in the 3 Sisters Peace on Earth collection, along […]
I wanted to share this little quilt with you. I had made it during a Spools sew along a few years ago, and never got the borders on it. I made all my spools with strips of different fabrics in the same color way. In other words, the green spool is made up of […]
