I made this little thread catcher a couple of years ago. (Tutorial here). It is cute, makes a fun little gift for girlfriends, and is fine for hand sewing or to take to classes or on retreats. The problem is, it is too darn small for general purposes. We haven't really quarreled, but the bloom […]
I tell you, I am obsessed with this Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful! I keep wanting to try it out on pattern after pattern. Just so you know, I bought my own Quick Curve Ruler and am not being compensated by Sew Kind of Wonderful in any way. My opinions are going […]
The new project I started came from this hot-off-the-press American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. The pattern is called Give It Your Best Dot, for the fun polka dot fabric used in the sample quilt. I don't really care about all those polka dot fabrics, but I do love the block that is featured in the […]
Ok, enough of the pastels already. I can't stand another minute of their sweet overload. Give me some RED. Whew. That's better. More on this new project to come!
I just could not help myself. With all the new Miss Rosie Little Bites patterns just released and the pile up of newly ordered charm packs coming to the door, I just had to start a new project. The pattern I am using is Trace and the fabric collection is High Street by Lily Ashbury […]
Well, that isn't really true. The cutting was simple, but all of those little squares and rectangles are weird sizes: 1 3/8", 1 5/8", 1 7/8", 2". You have to keep your wits about you while you are cutting this pattern out, I tell you. No chardonnay within a mile. And once they are all […]
Ooops. This is what comes of having too many projects going on at once and having a messy cutting table. Oh well, that tape measure was all chewed up from Ozzie munching on it anyway. I had been measuring the top of an almost completed quilt with the measuring tape, and started cutting out a […]
YES!! I am very happy now. Look how cute these little blocks are, who wouldn't smile to see them? I have been dreaming of making a Kaleidoscope quilt, like Cindy at Hyacinth Designs made, but I have to wait for my special ruler to arrive. As soon as it comes, I will start cutting out […]
As you can see, I have a couple of projects on the design walls. These two projects have been keeping me occupied in the lovely lazy week after Christmas. I pulled out my Scrappy Trips box and made quite a few additional blocks. I love the bright colors in this quilt, but the uncontrolled scrappiness […]
That would be Red Pineapple, my homage to French General fabrics, their reds in particular. It seems that there are a lot of folks working on Pineapple quilts lately! I shamelessly copied Cathy (Quilting on Main Street), her colors and her method. Thelma has been working on a foundation pieced version of her own, but […]
