Category: Finish It

Long Road Home is off my design wall!  All the rows are stitched together and I am so happy to be able to call this a Finish.  I really do like the homey look of the fabrics.  This will be a great quilt to throw over a chair and to cuddle up under. I tried […]

My friend Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) is a very focused person.  I love how organized she is, and how she mostly limits herself to working on one project at a time.  She also often gives me pause to think on things in myself I would like to improve.  Make that things in myself I would […]

I don't have a whole lot to show for myself for all the free days I have had this past weekend.  As you see, about half my Message in a Bottle rows are sewn together.  A more tedious process than  making the blocks, so I have slowed down.  Work on Long Road Home has commenced, […]

Yes, finished at last.  I had a little hiccup in the final moments of this quilt when I discovered the fabric I had planned to use for the outer border had faded.  I found something else that works well, but had to order it online.  Then I went on vacation.  I cannot wait for this […]

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 […]
