I have been getting a ton of quilts back from my fabulous quilter, and thought I would share some of the results with you. I will wait to show photos of the quilts until I get the dreaded bindings sewn on. I have finished several, but have so many more to do for my big […]
I am pretty pleased with this one. Raise the Roof by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. Jefferson County fabrics, designed by Jeanne Horton for Windham. The finished size of the quilt is 74" x 74". There are 32 sawtooth star blocks and 32 log cabin blocks. I love the "sunshine and shadow" effect the stars make […]
I am buried in strips here. The border for Raise the Roof involves what is called a "Piano Key" border. To achieve this, you make strip sets which you sub cut and piece together for a border. It is a great effect and uses up a ton of fabric. I am making six strip sets […]
I may not be getting a lot of sewing done, but I have been on a mission sending tops out for quilting. This past week, I got three of them back, and am so pleased with the results. Tumbler is pictured above, done in various Denyse Schmidt fabrics. That quilt has such a modern […]
I was able to squeeze a bit of sewing into my schedule a few weeks ago, and made up this cute little table topper with some Minick and Simpson fabric from a Frivols box. I made the quilt a bit smaller than the directions called for, so that it would fit just right on Sara's […]
Sara is doing a happy dance, now that I have the borders on her Log Cabin quilt. This quilt is going out for quilting this week, and will be a nice addition to her bedroom decor in her new house. Gosh, I had so much fun with all of you, voting on which log cabin […]
I am feeling so good about donating some of my unquilted tops to various charitable organizations! Here is one I called "Inner Cowgirl" that I sent off last week. I still think it is kind of cute, just not for me. Here is another cheery one that hopefully, someone will like. I believe this was […]
Thanks for all the encouraging comments regarding my gigantic stack of unquilted tops. You are so right, I definitely enjoyed picking out the fabrics and piecing those quilts. Most of them anyway. I am going to start sending the ones that deserve it out to be quilted and give them to my loved ones. As […]
I thought it would be fun to go back four years and see what I was working on and share it with you. Since my sewing progress has been pretty much nil lately, this will be a way to at least share some content with you. Let's check out what I was working on then […]
2015 was the Year of the Mini Quilt for me. I found making these smaller quilts lots of fun. Using them as little table toppers throughout the house made me happy. Mini quilts use little fabric, and are ideal for charm squares, layer cakes or scraps. Anytime you love a fabric collection, but don't really […]
