Category: Finish It
Yesterday those of us in the US celebrated Martin Luther King Day, which turned into a four-day weekend for me since I had Friday free as well. I made great use of my time and have been sewing and reading up a storm. I didn't leave the house except to walk Archie. I have finished […]
Yesterday I got in a good day of sewing. It was a cold drizzly day, just perfect for staying in. I did two 30-minute sessions using the Pomodoro Technique (explained in yesterday's post) and got the seven rows of my Hourglass quilt sewn together. Tomorrow, I aim to connect those rows and get this top […]
I finished all my Hourglass blocks! Now to sew them together and add a couple of borders. I am a person who really enjoys piecing individual blocks, but when it comes to sewing the blocks into rows, adding borders etc, my interest is not so keen. Most of the time I can manage to get […]
Happy New Year everyone! I hope yours was safe and healthy. We spent the weekend putting away our Christmas decorations. Every year I swear I will put up half of what I normally do, but somehow I bend to pressure and put it all out again. Well, our house has been "hushed" as they say. […]
Going into the weekend I thought I would share with you a few things I worked on this week and a couple of great books I am enjoying. This quilt block is the 9th in the Moda Blockheads5 sew-along. It is called Candy Stripe Holly Star or some such thing, but I call it Day […]
I've had a cold/virus this week, and have not had much pep. In my life, for certain I have had colds worse than this one, but it's been enough to curtail my activities. I did cut out most of the alternate blocks for the Apple Sauce quilt top, and I have started making the 80 […]
My Bats and Boos quilt is all but finished. I just need to add an outer border and send it off to be quilted. I will love using this next Halloween. I am really happy with how it turned out and how fun it was to make. The pattern is free on Fatquartershop.com. This center […]
I am finally getting the binding on the best Halloween quilt ever, Halloween 1904, a pattern by Blackbird Designs. I made this quilt about 10 years ago, and only just had it quilted. Don't ever think you've waited too long to get your quilt quilted. It's a monster in size, and I will be stitching […]
I'm so proud to have finished this Sampler Spree quilt top! It consists of 100 blocks from the book Sampler Spree by Susan Ache. It was a sew-along a couple of years ago, but my time wasn't so free then, so I didn't make much progress with it. I absolutely love the setting, which I […]
My Sampler Spree Quilt is almost finished! I have completed four out of the five quilt rows and sewn them together. Today I will get the last row on and send it off to be quilted. You can see the last row of blocks peeking out from underneath the quilt top. This quilt is a […]
