Category: Mini Quilts
Sometimes being a blogger has some real advantages. I posted a photo last week of my most recently finished table topper, a pattern by Carried Away called Summer Breeze. The pattern is wonderful, but the design my quilter chose for the quilting really set off the design and was so in keeping with the breezy […]
Can we just take a minute and admire the quilting on this little 26" square piece? The quilt is Summer Breeze by Carried Away. I do not know the name of the swirly quilting design, but it could not be a more perfect choice. My plan is to use this in my kitchen during spring […]
I am quite tickled with how this little table topper turned out. I used every smidgen of the Lucky Charms leftovers from the Don't Fence Me In rail fence quilt top. Which I still don't have sewn together. Quilting this project myself is not in the cards, so I will be sending this out to […]
I do love seasonal sewing projects, and I also love a mini quilt/table topper. When the two worlds collide, as they did this weekend, you get some great results. The quilt pattern is Mahalo Mini by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting LifeYou can download the PDF pattern for under $7. And how cute is that? […]
I was in a scramble yesterday to mail off a box to my quilter. I got the borders on two quilts, and backings pieced. I decided last minute to add in two table runners, which needed finishing. The acorn one is pretty darn cute I think and will look super on my dining table in […]
Ok, so I am pretty sure this is the cutest mug rug I've ever made. I used an apple block pattern from one of Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage books. How adorable is the apple core block? This is teacher appreciation week and we wanted to give Miss Kelly a little token of our affection. […]
I am so pleased to have finished my Pretty Little Baskets Table Topper before Easter. I wasn't sure I could do it, but somehow it happened. I made four of the little basket blocks and sewed them together with two-inch lattices to put a little space between them. It just shows that if you put […]
I brought out this mini quilt for the first time yesterday. I kind of did my own thing when I made it. The center bird is from a Pattern Baskets pattern called "Feathers". The surrounding stars are a block called "Twin Star" from an old Frivols project I had on hand. The fabrics are Strawberry […]
April Mug Rugs of the Month are almost done. I got them quilted and still need to attach the binding. With luck, I will get that done today or tomorrow. I am late with these and have half a notion to say they are April Easter baskets and May flower baskets combined, and save myself […]
Yikes. I wish I had more confidence when it comes to machine quilting. I can manage a small project most of the time, but I have a few sad efforts in the closet that I am not proud enough of to actually use. I am going to go with a diagonal grid design, with the […]
