How cute is this fabric line and pattern? It all went together pretty quickly, but as you can see, I still need to sew the blocks together. Pattern is a Little Bites by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, and the fabric is High Street by Lily Ashbury. I totally copied one of the versions of the […]
I am so sorry not to have been able to respond to your comments this week. That is the whole point and fun of blogging as far as I am concerned. Ever since Typepad was attacked again on Monday, I am not getting your comments to go to my email so I can respond. Such […]
Over the weekend I downloaded four new mini patterns from Fig Tree Designs. One is a mini version of the pear quilt I have been working on. In addition, I got a mini pattern of sewing machines, a flower and cherries. Each one is cute as can be and is teeny tiny (20 to […]
Back in the day, I used to sew all my own clothes. I made just about everything except underwear. I even tried to make a bikini a couple of times. (Nothing I could actually wear in public however–my estimate of my pattern size was way off in the swim suit category anyway). At one […]
Several people have asked about the pattern I used for the August Blooms quilt. The pattern is in a book called Summer Haven, by Linda Hohag, published by Brandywine Designs. The book was published years ago, but it is still available through the publisher, Brandywine Designs. I think every pattern in the book is very […]
Several of my friends have been experimenting with brighter color palettes lately with great success. I have to admit, I do enjoy the colorful quilts they have been coming out with. It is the case however that I still have a strong affinity for Civil War Reproduction fabrics: I love the way they honor our […]
This is a kit I have had in my stash for years. It was put together by Bonnie Blue Quilts, and is based on their pattern Second Hand Clothes, which I believe is one of their all time most popular offerings. One thing that Bonnie Blue does, that I don't think many other pattern companies […]
I just love it when we get a great discussion going on this blog! Thank you all for your very thoughtful comments on the subject of copying someone else's designs. Most of us don't mind a bit if our work is duplicated by someone else, and in fact find it flattering. Quilters tend to be […]
This pattern is Victory Star, one put out by Paula Barnes of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts). I have been thinking about Paula lately, as she recently lost her husband under quite tragic circumstances. Paula is a lovely lady, and I had the privilege of taking a class with her once, and Victory […]
Truly, I am working on sewing my rows together for Message in a Bottle, and will be showing you that progress in another post soon. Sometimes a quilter just can't help it, but needs to start a new project. Even before the last one is finished. While I was at the Road to California quilt […]
