Category: Finish It
I have lots of finishes in the works at the moment. I hadn't really realized just how many projects I had that were nearly done. I got the containment border on the Red Sampler quilt, and am just waiting for an Etsy order to be delivered with the border fabric. I am going with a […]
Sewcialites 2 is a finish! Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to bother putting these blocks together. I didn't care for the settings provided by the Fat Quarter Shop or the participating designers. They all seemed too fussy to me. What I did was put the blocks up on my design wall […]
I had the best weekend. I sewed for hours and got so much done. My Designer Mystery 2022/23 top just has one more row to attach and the center of the top will be together. The next step is to add a navy containment border and the outer border. Kathy's fabric arrived super quick! To […]
I did it! I got all the blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022/23 project finished! Now, I have to say, those bold log cabin alternate blocks absolutely make the quilt, don't you think? I am quite pleased with how it all came together. I'll start sewing the blocks together in rows today. My gorgeous border […]
I am so proud of this quilt! Summer Memories, a pattern by Susan Ache, is finished. The sew-along was sponsored by Fat Quartershop, based on a quilt pattern from the book by Susan Ache called Summer Memories. The quilt pattern itself is called Picnic, I believe. Honestly, I found it rather tedious to make. All […]
Opening Day, an older Miss Rosie pattern is now finished. You can find the pattern in Carrie Nelson's book "Miss Rosie's Farmhouse Favorites". I am so glad to get this off the design wall and move on to something else! It has been a UFO for over 12 years. Not sure what I'll do with […]
This project is very nearly complete! I am halfway finished with the border blocks. Just 12 or so more to go and this Opening Day quilt top will be DONE! The blocks look kind of haphazard on the border, keep in mind I just slapped them on the design wall, they aren't sewn together. I […]
I am making slow but steady progress on the Opening Day quilt. I have finished the border of flying geese. There is one more border of pieced blocks, that should go quickly. These blocks are comprised of fairly large half-square triangles and solid squares and should be a snap to construct. I sure would like […]
I got a quilt back from the quilter last week. It sometimes takes me a while to finish things, and this quilt has been waiting for going on 10 years to be quilted. It is such a beautiful quilt and I am so glad I finally sent it out. It is a monster, 91" square, […]
I am making major strides toward finishing my Opening Day UFO. Yesterday I got three rows of stars sewn together for the center of the quilt. I was thrilled that the points of the stars are all coming together great. There was some concern in my mind that they might not. And I am thrilled […]
