Endearments

I can't tell you how much I love this little quilt!!  It is "Endearments" by Betsy Chutchian, made with her fabric collection Rachel Remembered.  The finished quilt measures 29 3/8" square, and has a Memorial Day/Fourth of July vibe to it.  I can see keeping this out on my dining table from May through September.

State Fair

I've been working on a couple of springy table runners this past week.  I shared Tootsie Pops with you, which is super cute, but I wanted another runner that showed off more of that beautiful Lilac Hill fabric I had been hoarding. An old Schnibbles pattern called State Fair came to mind, and I decided […]

Waste Not, Want Not

I did.  I cut this quilt up into a rectangular table runner.  I just took a deep breath and let the rotary cutter do its thing.  If you are just joining in, this is what I had to start with: The quilt is made up of seven rather complicated, labor intensive blocks, which are sewn […]

Pie Birds

This is the first completed block in a Kim Diehl table runner that is made up of seven of these little guys.  It took quite some time to put it together, as each of those block triangles is actually two folded corner triangle units sewn together.  You do the sew and flip method with the […]

Pinwheel Puzzle

My little Pinwheel Puzzle quilt is finished.  I think I will put this one on the coffee table in my living room for a more toned down St. Patrick's Day accent.  In fact, I could live with these colors all year long in my house.  The pattern is an old one by Teri Atkinson, and […]

Friday Finish–Raspberry Cocoa

Here is a fun Friday Finish.  This is a little mini quilt called Raspberry Cocoa, designed by Kim Diehl for one of her more recent Simple What Nots Club offerings.  I wasn't a member of the club in the past couple of years, but managed to buy the kit from someone on Etsy.  (It is […]

Scarlet Stars with a Border

I have been putting off quilting my Scarlet Stars mini quilt because it just didn't seem finished to me.  The pattern is a terrific one designed by Kim Diehl as a part of her Simple What Nots Club.  This is what I had when I finished the pattern: However, I felt that it needed something […]

Run Around

Feel like love is giving you the run around?  Don't despair, you can sort it all out by making this cute Valentine's table topper.  These flying geese are going around in circles trying to find the hearts, but I think it is a lost cause.  We know what to do though. Some sewing has been […]

Last Finish of 2017

Happy 2018 everyone!  I can just feel it in my bones that this is going to be a great year for quilting.  There are lots of great projects ahead of us.  Thank you so much for all your holiday wishes.  I felt like my mailbox was packed full of holiday greetings! In the hubbub of […]

Round Robin, Gifted

I ended up gifting my little Round Robin table topper to my son in law, the winemaker.  He really seems to appreciate my efforts, and it pleases me to see that he uses the little table toppers and other seasonal quilts I give him.  So, that seemed to be a win/win kind of deal. He […]
