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 […]
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! Hope you get to spend some time with your sweeties. If not, treat yourself to something lovely. Have you got plans for Valentine's Day or President's Weekend? Our little town has a big event planned that brings in loads of tourists, so it's all hands on deck at the shop where […]
Ozzie has taken up residence under the bed. Wowie, have we ever had some big storms here where I live the past few days. Ozzie doesn't care for it much at all, and to Eva's great amusement, took refuge in her bed. She discovered him there at naptime, and figured it meant since he was […]
My Flowering Snowball quilt is a finish! It took no time at all to get the blocks finished and the rows sewn together. This will be a beautiful quilt for Eva to use on her bed this summer. She is thrilled with it, and immediately wanted to lie down under it to pretend it was […]
I realized yesterday that i never shared the finished photo of Rhubarb Whirl to you all. So there it is, and I think it may be one of my favorite quilts ever. Notice the border–subtle, but it completes the theme of four pinwheels placed together, and brings out the colors used in the quilt with […]
Just got the binding on this little quilt for Eva's room last week. I've had some requests to show more of it, so here you go. I made the quilt back in 2009–here is a link to my post on making it with all the pattern information. I absolutely loved making this quilt. […]
I was somewhat more productive the second half of 2014. I finished a good number of quilts, but also constructed some non-quilt projects and decorative items. July July was The Month of the Quick Curve Ruler. I had mixed results using this tool, but Metro Hoops, above, is my favorite finish using the ruler. […]
2014 was an awesome year for quilt projects. For me, it was The Year of Curved Piecing, a trend I hope will continue into 2015 and beyond. 2014 was also The Year of Making Smaller Quilts, which I found to be rewarding. I also finished up some UFOs and got a couple of things quilted […]
Finished on a Friday, how appropriate! At last, this big quilt is all done. I swear if I didn't get it done this weekend, Tracey would have shown up on my door step saying, "For Heaven's sake Nicole, I'll do it, if you can't manage it after all this time". I sure did drag this […]
