Category: Finish It
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 […]
I was rummaging in my sewing room closet the other day and discovered an old project I had started, who knows how long ago. The project box was labeled "One Block Quilt". Upon further investigation, I learned that I had made over 150 of these little 4-inch blocks. There was no pattern in the box, […]
Do you all remember the Sampler Spree Sew-Along? It is based on a book by Susan Ache that has patterns for over 100 6 inch quilt blocks that are sewn into a sampler quilt. I had joined in this sew-along a couple of years ago, but of course, set it aside for various family obligations. […]
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 […]
