Category: Finish It
Well, it didn't get done by Christmas 2015, but I can tell you it will be on my table during the holidays in 2016! This is Paganini, a Miss Rosie Schnibbles pattern that has a number of variations in how to construct the block. This little pattern is worth the price, that is for sure. […]
2015 was the Year of the Mini Quilt for me. I found making these smaller quilts lots of fun. Using them as little table toppers throughout the house made me happy. Mini quilts use little fabric, and are ideal for charm squares, layer cakes or scraps. Anytime you love a fabric collection, but don't really […]
2015 was a year I hope never to see the likes of again. I lost my youngest sister to cancer, our area had a devastating fire, my father suffered an injury, my daughter rolled her car over….Seriously, not a great year. 2016 brings a fresh start, and with any luck at all, better times. I […]
What a happy finish for me. I started this as a scrap buster project and tried to follow along with Barbara Brackman's Civil War Stars in a Time Warp sew along. Barbara has had frequent blog posts on different types of fabrics that were prevalent in the 1800s, and had lots of examples of current […]
Simple Granny is a finish! ABD (all but borders). I love the pure saturated colors of the fabric collection I used–Fancy by Lily Ashbury. I want to use one of the larger prints in the line for the outer border, but am undecided as to which color to go with. Help me out–The large […]
I managed to finish Looking Glass, but not get a very good picture of it. Looking Glass is a pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. The fabric I used was mostly Old Glory Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings, but I tossed in some Minick and Simpson, French General and odd pieces from my […]
Yesterday I buckled down and got the rows all sewn together for Ashcombe. It still needs its piano key border, which will finish it off nicely. I have it draped over the upstairs railing for the photo. It would have been a good idea to give the top a good shaking to get all […]
I don't know when I have worked on a quilt I have enjoyed more! This is Steampunk, by Jenn Kingwell, an Australian designer you are going to be hearing a lot more about. The block is a very old fashioned one, also called Propeller. The fabrics I used were scraps of Denyse Schmidt fabrics […]
I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness, […]
This is Past and Present, a quilt made from Kim Brackett's book Scrap Basket Surprises. I finally got the borders on it and it is now ready to ship off to be quilted. I am quite pleased with how it turned out, and hope my daughter's friend Jeff will be happy with it. There is […]
