Category: Mini Quilts
Ah. I am home from my trips, my laundry is done, the Easter decor has been put away, and my husband has gone back to work. That man has been sick for ten days with a horrible cough, fever and an ear ache. He lost his hearing in the affected ear and every time I […]
I've decided to call this little quilt May Flowers. My quilter took a photo of the quilting she had just finished on it, and I could not be more pleased. One thing she does with my mini quilts is that she reduces the scale of the quilting design to fit the smaller size of the […]
My latest distraction from reorganizing my sewing room is this little mini quilt in the Corn and Beans block. I got my little pieces all cut out and sorted with my Alphabitties. If you don't have Alphabitties, you might want to consider adding some to your collection of sewing notions. They are double sided plastic […]
I did make it up to the sewing room yesterday, with the idea that my re-organization would commence. I started with the dresser and this adorable little kit was in the first drawer I opened. How cute is that little Corn and Beans kit? It measures 17" square when finished and would make the summeriest […]
I just can't seem to get enough of cheery spring like fabrics lately. My desire for the rain to stop and the sun to come out is taking over my life. I am also stuck waiting for my fabric for the Sweet Escape Sew Along to arrive. I ordered my background (Moda Bella Porcelain} on […]
Since I am desperate for a touch of Spring, I've been in a mood to make some small quilts in a lighter color palette. My favorite dark reds, golds and browns seem so heavy right now when my soul is craving lighter more delicate tones. Pale green in particular. I recently rediscovered a tub of […]
After all that red and green during the holidays, when January comes around I am definitely in the mood for a more mellow color palette. Blue seems perfect for the chilly winter days we are having, so I made myself a new table topper. I have a ton of various Primitive Gatherings "Snowman Gatherings" fabric […]
Well, this is a first. We have our Christmas tree up and it isn't even Thanksgiving. My husband bought a new faux tree this year, and since the boxes were sitting right in front of our front door where the UPS man left them, my husband decided to go ahead and set it up. And […]
Last week I had the urge to start up a seasonal project, and began a search through my stash for some fall hued fabrics. Since Fall is my favorite time to decorate, I found many pieces that were perfect for what I had in mind. Clearly, I have a habit of buying fall colored fabric! […]
I started a couple of new projects over the weekend. This is a block from a Minick and Simpson pattern called Liberty Road. In the pattern version, they made the quilt from their Charlevoix fabric collection, but I missed out on that one. I am using Ann's Arbor for my version, which is a very […]
