After a super busy week, I was able to sit down for a couple of quiet hours on Sunday and sew my rows together on Urban Winter. The quilt top is now a flimsie. (Is that how you spell flimsie, or is it flimsy?) I am very pleased with how well this pattern went together. […]
I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. I sure did! My husband was away on a hiking trip, so I took advantage of his time away to sew as much as my heart desired. We did have a little Easter brunch and Easter egg hunt with my grand daughter, which was loads of […]
I was out in the gargage rummaging around, looking for a nice large bin for all my new happy fabrics, when this project practically fell on my head. Years ago, two houses and a lifetime ago, I began this applique project with some Fig Tree fabrics my friend Lisa sent me. I was so shocked […]
You know I love to show you all how human I am when it comes to my sewing. I make mistakes every now and then just like anyone else, and sometimes I do have to laugh at myself at how dingy I can be. When I took the Victory Star class, the instructor, Paula Barnes, […]
Here is my Victory Star block, which is comprised of two different units and a solid center square. The units are not very complicated, but when you are first making a block, you do have to concentrate a bit on what you are doing, and particularly the direction you are sewing your "sew and flip" […]
I find myself with several irons in the fire right now, and am reluctant to start a new project. It just seems the time to finish up some really nice projects that have been aside for too long. While rummaging in the closet, I dug out a project from several years ago, Victory Star, a […]
My half square triangle experiment, now dubbed "The Madness" is finished! I am quite happy with the results and the person to whom I am gifting the quilt seems to like it as well. He has named it "The Madness" after his wine label and one of his best selling wines. I love the name, […]
This week I am sewing the rows together for my Black and White Half Square Triangle exercicse. Five rows done. The missing row is stacked next to my sewing machine as I type this, all ready to be stitched. This is going together very nicely. My border fabric arrived last week, so this quilt top […]
I didn't finish my Half Square Triangle Exercise quilt top by my self-imposed deadline, but I am nearly there. I have one more block to make! I need to make this quilt as large as possible, so I am going with a diagonal set and alternate plain blocks. I can see I will be doing […]
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2014 blesses you with good luck, prosperity and excellent health. I don't have any firm resolutions to state, however my wish is that I will make more time for both sewing and reading. As I have done in the past, I thought my first post for the New Year […]
