Category: Finish It
Woo Hoo, the end is in sight. The light at the end of the tunnel and all that. I have my center section of nine blocks all sewn together. I have my two inner borders of red hour glass blocks sewn up. I just have to sew the two outside rows of blocks, sew the […]
So many of us have struggled with how to use our William Morris fabrics. I know I have. As gorgeous as these fabrics are individually, somehow, to my eye anyway, they just didn't all work together nicely. I had two different William Morris collections, A Morris Garden and A Morris Workshop, with many many lovely […]
I worked this weekend, but managed to squeeze in a bit of sewing time. I sewed my blocks together for the Central Park baby quilt, and am so pleased with the happy, light-hearted results. I left out the pink/purple colorway, but saved the blocks and scraps to make a baby girl themed quilt (if that […]
This little baby quilt is from the pattern Petit Fours by the fabulous Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs. I also used her fabric line Lily and Will, which I can never seem to get out of my mouth properly. Willy and Lil is what comes out for some reason. Anyway, I used the green […]
I am quite proud of this quilt. The pattern is by Bonnie Blue and is called Belle Meade. The quilt top calls for 656 half square triangles. The fabric I used is a combination of French General (for Moda) collections: primarily Rural Jardin, but including Rouenneries and Lumiere de Noel. My friend Thelma, from Cupcakes […]
I really wanted to get the blocks and lattices for the Ridiculously Cute Basket Quilt sewn together on my day off, but as you see, I didn't quite finish. I got sidetracked with endless rearranging of lattice strips and block orientation. Do you ever do that? Honestly, if two similar fabrics end up next to […]
This quilt is no longer called Route 44. It's new name is Gremlin. I had trouble with this quilt from Day One. It should be acknowledged that none of the issues I had were the fault of the pattern, a lovely offering by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. The mistakes were entirely my fault. It started out […]
I am very happy with my version of Mocha Trails, a great pattern by Denise Sheehan. The best thing about this project is that it was a sew along with my friend Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies). Go on over and see Thelma's gorgeous quilt. Nancy Near Philadelphia just finished a Mocha Trails quilt also, and […]
I have been doing a little sewing, honestly. My life is just a bit busy these days, with my job at the clothing shop, trying to make my little Christmas gifts, the decorating, and of course the Christmas shopping. Unfortunately, you have heard plenty about my cosmetics bags construction and my decorating, and the other […]
Yesterday I was talking about making quilts with fabric colors that are "outside my comfort zone". I guess these coral, lime, aqua and navy shades would fit that description. The fabrics are from a collection called Neptune by Tula Pink when she was designing for Moda (she now designs for Free Spirit). The pattern is […]
