I got Elizabeth off to the quilters finally. I swear it took me two weeks to buckle down and get the borders on this quilt! I put it on my bed and pretended it was all quilted and ready to snuggle under. Thank you Wendy of Quilting and Life for giving me this wonderful idea. I picked […]
I have really switched gears with my Neptune quilt. I started out with the idea that I would use mostly medium and dark fabrics, and not add in a lot of contrasting lights. That was ok, but well, sorta dark overall. Then my fabric guru suggested that maybe the addition of some lights would really add […]
Now that Elizabeth is all done (except for those last borders), I thought I would pull out another piecing project I started a few months ago. My Mojo/Ridiculously Cute Basket Blocks. I had completed all but three blocks; 33 out of the 36 I needed for the top. But, what the heck? Where were my […]
Have you all heard of Material World? Created in 1994 in honor of the United Nations Year of the Family, it is an amazing pictorial journey all over the world, where people in various countries bring every single possession they own out in front of their house and pose for a picture. From country to […]
While the cabinets were being refinished, I holed up in my sewing room. Two great things happened. One, I finished a stunt sewing quilt top that I have been dragging out. Big sigh of happiness. Such adorable fabric, and when you see how cute this quilt is, you will want to make one too! But, […]
getty images That was so much fun! Thank you all so much for your input on which quilt I should tackle next. I was just so undecided, I needed help! The final totals were actually pretty close between all five projects, so I don't feel too bad not being able to decide all by myself. […]
How happy am I with this Toulouse quilt top? VERY happy. In the words of Ma Ramatswe "I am veddy happy Rrraa". What does the Botswanan detective have to do with anything? Nothing, I just like the way she talks. And, you gotta admit, she seems very happy. Ra. Or Ma. Thelma, Lisa and I found […]
Ok, this one surprised me. To tell the truth, I did not think I would finish this quilt. It is a Web Sampler project from a couple of years ago. For those of you not familiar with a Web Sampler, it is a program of participating shops that all come up with a sampler block […]
If you have been trying to finish up a holiday quilt in time for Christmas, by all means do it! It is such a joy to surround myself with quilts that express the festivity and happiness I feel at this time of the year. I love the concept of having a Christmas quilt on every […]
A fellow quilting blogger recently asked the question "At what point in your quilt construction do you get bogged down?" There were plenty of different answers. Some folks let their quilts sit for months before they get the bindings sewn on. Others love making the blocks, but hate the lay out and row construction. I […]
