Category: Finish It
You didn't even know I had started this one, did you? I made it in just a couple of hours. Amazing, isn't it? I could start my own Quilt In A Day show. Want to know my secret? The entire quilt center is about the size of a piece of printer paper. Did I fool […]
I am making real progress this week with my Message in a Bottle blocks. I have completed the square in a square blocks (56), the pinwheel blocks (42), and the pieced setting triangles (26). Soon, I will be putting these up on the design wall and sewing my rows together! This pattern is highly recommended […]
I'd like to introduce you to Jellystone! A pattern designed by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. Once I comprehended how to put this bear paw variation block together, there was no stopping me. Well, the pieced lattice almost stopped me. Let's just say it wasn't my favorite part of the construction process. However, […]
Well, I promised myself that this would be my year to finish more full sized quilts, and I am off to a grand beginning! No, that isn't my quilt or my finish. Give me a minute to explain. The quilt shown above is one made by Carrie Nelson, of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. It is […]
Still on plan, making progress on my Hill Country Baskets blocks. Wow. There sure are a lot of them. And they don't go together very fast. Now, Thelma made this quilt, and she grumbled quite a lot in the process, but I don't recall that she complained about how long it took to make the […]
You can see I have been spending my time well. My flying geese borders are complete and attached to my Shiloh quilt. I had plenty of the dark brown used in the inner border that I had planned to use in the final, outer border, but made an unhappy discovery that foils that plan. When […]
The last of the boutique items are sewn, embellished, and ready to be delivered to the shop. I think these Zippy bags may be the cutest yet. I used some Cinnamon Stars fabric I had on hand to make them up, and am so pleased with the results. And that little button is the most […]
It is a last minute rush around here the past couple of days. Those are the last of the mug rugs in the photo above. You know, I am thoroughly tired of making those things. They really are too much work for what they sell for. People like them though, so I keep producing them. […]
Here is my little table in the wine tasting room. I managed to get most of my new holiday merchandise on display by Friday afternoon, as I had hoped. It is quite shocking what a person can do when they put their mind to it. There is still some tweeking to be done. I need […]
My dining room table is filling up with boutique items. Yesterday my progress doesn't appear so grand as the previous days. I really ran out of steam after the baby left at 6:00. No evening sewing for me. What I accomplished was three boxy zippy bags. The red ones in the foreground are for […]
