Category: Finish It
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 […]
Just under the wire, but I made it! Two last finishes for 2013. The quilt shown in the photo above is "All Wrapped Up" a pattern by Moda. I used the Kate Spain "Flurry" line of fabric. Great directions, simple construction, and you have a very cute quilt to enjoy during the holidays. I really […]
You may think at first glance that this photo is the same one I showed yesterday, of my All Wrapped Up quilt. Nope. I discovered when my side borders didn't fit that I had left out three 2 1/2 inch lattice strips that go under the top three rows of presents. Argh. It seemed like […]
Um. Right. Yeah, I know. What were my last words here on this blog? Nantucket. I will focus on and finish Nantucket. But then, I was out in my garage storage area, where my project boxes are kept. I was looking for my Christmas wrapping paper when out of the corner of my eye, I […]
I am sighing a big sigh of relief to have gotten three quilts finished this past weekend. These are going to be wonderful additions to my quilt collection, and I have no excuse for dragging things out so long. Get them done, get them quilted, and get them on the beds! The quilt in the […]
I had three big finishes this weekend. I will share one today, and the other two tomorrow. For some reason, I stall when it comes to getting the borders on my quilts. I have a big push to get my blocks sewn together, and then completely lose steam (and interest) in seeing things through to […]
My intention was to get this finished for Sara and give it to her for her birthday Sunday, but as you can plainly see, I failed to accomplish that goal. Several things went wrong. Mainly, I discovered that I had made seven of the blocks with a pure white fabric. The other thirteen blocks appear […]
