Category: Finish It
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 […]
I've been having a busy week, that's for sure. No sewing until today, and I have to tell you I am beginning to panic, I have so many deadlines! I am spending a few minutes this morning trying to organize my thoughts and get an action plan in motion. Did you know the Another Year […]
My student is on Spring Break this week, and has been getting in as much sewing time as she can. She has now finished her third and final charity quilt top for her senior project. I am just so proud of her. These fabrics were donated to us, and I am happy to say we […]
