Category: Finish It
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 […]
At last, I got the rows all sewn together for my Jacob's Ladder/Go Four It project. The quilt is ample sized for my queen size bed, measuring 72 x 90 inches. You can see there is lots of nice overhang on the sides. No borders on this quilt. The pinks are summery and the greens […]
This is the little quilt that Sara and I collaborated on. Some dear friends had their first baby, a little boy, and this quilt just seems so appropriate. Daddy is a helicopter pilot, so the pinwheel design of the blocks seems sort of aeronautically themed. The quilt was beautifully quilted by Mary Flynn of Quilt […]
