I got up yesterday morning with the intention of getting back to Courthouse Steps and finishing my last few blocks. My mistake was checking my blog feed and seeing so many posts from quilters who are making pink quilts this month. Hmmm. Did I have any pink fabric? Why yes, I did. Maybe I should […]
New Year's Resolutions? At first I was going to say "No, I don't believe in it", but I do have one. That is to get these two projects off my design walls!!!!!!! They have both been up there for the better part of 2017, and they must go. The one on the right is Triangle […]
I started a new project yesterday, called Barn Stars. These little blocks are the cutest things ever. They are only 4 1/2 inches! It is a Simple What Nots kit I never got around to finishing, and now that I have time on my hands, I can finally get to it. I am simply loving […]
When I saw this Feathers pattern by The Pattern Basket, I knew I had to make it. Eva loves birds and these scrappy little cutie pies will be adorable on a quilt in her bedroom. This is not going to be a weekend project, I can tell you that right up front. I think each […]
Over the weekend, I started a quilt for my son Ahren, who lives in Ireland. He has been wanting a new quilt, and discovered a collection of fabrics in colors he loves: amber and charcoal. He was inspired by this photo: The fabrics in the quilt photographed lighter than the impression they make in person. […]
I got to thinking about appliqué yesterday. I had avoided doing an appliqué block for the Moda BlockHeads project, thinking I needed to "gear up" for appliqué. I made a pieced block instead. I was a wimp. Can't you hear me whining? "Applique is too haaaaard". I have had the kit shown in the photo […]
I started a new project yesterday. I got out those pretty Garden Notes fabrics by Kathy Schmidt and got busy cutting out strips for "Buzz Saw". I think the blocks will go pretty fast, particularly if I concentrate on making the units of one size all at one time. I can chain piece and crank those […]
I was so happy to receive so many encouraging comments from you dear readers yesterday. I spent a good amount of time checking out links that were recommended, as well as watching YouTube videos on how to use the Bernina 740. I learned a lot, and decided I just need to jump in and start […]
New Year, new project. I love the name of this pattern, as it sums up my goal for a frugal January. "Penny Pincher" by Primitive Gatherings. I have a beautiful new bundle of fat quarters, also by Primitive Gatherings, so I think I am ready to launch into something new. The colors in the fabric […]
You all know I've been having quilts quilted to give as Christmas gifts to my family this Christmas. My brother in law who lost his wife just a year and a half ago was posing a gift giving dilemma for me. Just before my sister passed away I gave her a beautiful quilt, which hopefully he […]
