Category: Finish It
The thing about getting to the end of a project is that I start thinking about the next one. And often, because I am weak, I say to myself "I'll just audition these fabrics" or "Maybe I will just make one test block", and before you know it, a new project has been started, and […]
Lucy is completed! This pretty quilt took no time at all to make. In fact, after all the curved piecing and ruler drama I have had lately, this quilt was the perfect answer for me. I put a couple of audio books on the iPod and stitched away happily engrossed in both the books and […]
I have been working away on my orange and black checkerboard blocks for "Lucy", and have worked myself up into a fine Halloween frame of mind. I took a break from checkerboard blocks this weekend and stitched up this cute little Halloween table topper in one day. I have been thinking of making this […]
My memory is just kaput, I tell you. My friends have all been setting me straight as to 1) the name of this pattern, 2) exactly where I was when I started it, and 3) what fabric line I used. Darcy is the name of the pattern, a Schnibbles, designed by Carrie Nelson of Miss […]
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 […]
