Last week was the release of the Sewcialites Sew Along Block #33, which was a sewing machine. It was cute I suppose, but to me, it didn't fit in very well with the other blocks. So I decided to substitute in something else that I felt was more in keeping with the style of the […]
The Pattern Basket patterns are always so good. Have you ever tried any? The designer, Margot Languedoc is known for her fall pumpkin quilt patterns, which are adorable. She does birds really well too! Do check out her website to see all the wonderful patterns she has for sale, both in paper and in pdf […]
Didn't we have a nice conversation about jelly rolls and sources for patterns and books to instruct us how to use them? Thank you so much to everyone who chimed in to mention their favorites. As far as I am concerned, I am flabbergasted that I neglected to mention Kim Brackett and her amazing books […]
I am thinking of doing this project for January. The pattern, "By Thy Hands January", by Buttermilk Basin is a combination of patchwork and wool applique. It is a small size, as you can see, and would work wonderfully as a seasonal table topper or candle mat. I am so interested in doing some smaller […]
Oh boy. This quilt has been a process I tell you. I started it one, maybe two years ago and it has had me scratching my head from the get go. The instructions are fine. It is just me being super confused about the diagonal layout and frustrated by my choices of fabrics. It is […]
Just revel in these gorgeous fabrics for a moment. Ahhhh. Aren't they just the best? The darker fabrics are mostly Rachel Remembered by Betsy Chutchian, and the lighter ones are from my stash. I absolutely love those blues and golds. And of course the reds and browns. But those golds…. It's an old Bonnie Blue […]
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 […]
I am ready for the next holiday! Over the weekend, I was able to finish up this little table topper for St. Patrick's Day. It still needs to be quilted, but that shouldn't be a big deal. The pattern is called Luck o' the Irish by Fons and Porter, and is on their website. You […]
I've been working on this cute little table topper for Valentine's Day. The fabric is Love You! by Sandy Gervais for Moda (I used two charm packs), and believe it or not, the pattern is actually three patterns. All patterns are by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company: Full House (a Schnibbles pattern), Tiny Town and In […]
This little quilt is a Kim Diehl design called Simple Folk. It finishes at 18 1/2 inches and was made entirely on the Singer Featherweight. The blocks start out with 2 1/2" pinwheel blocks, which form the center of log cabin blocks. The blocks finish at 6 1/2". It has kind of a homey/folksy feel. […]
