How about that? Three quilts off to the quilters! Took me about three hours to cut, sew and press all three backings. I always put that step off as long as I can for some reason. That is boring sewing, for sure. Do you piece your backings? I didn't used to. I liked finding […]
I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness, […]
This sweet little quilt is Laundry Day, a kit from Fat Quarter Shop, featuring a Kim Diehl design and fabrics. It is a mini quilt that I just got back from my quilter, Mary at Quilt Hollow. The light wasn't quite right when I took the picture, so I don't know if you can see […]
I was somewhat more productive the second half of 2014. I finished a good number of quilts, but also constructed some non-quilt projects and decorative items. July July was The Month of the Quick Curve Ruler. I had mixed results using this tool, but Metro Hoops, above, is my favorite finish using the ruler. […]
2014 was an awesome year for quilt projects. For me, it was The Year of Curved Piecing, a trend I hope will continue into 2015 and beyond. 2014 was also The Year of Making Smaller Quilts, which I found to be rewarding. I also finished up some UFOs and got a couple of things quilted […]
Just last week I received my Kate Spain "All Wrapped Up" quilt back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow. This is just the cutest quilt, probably ever. This quilt is destined to go on Eva's first Big Girl Bed, slated to be set up this weekend or maybe next. I have the binding […]
Jersey Girl. (Carrie Nelson/Miss Rosie's Quilt Company Schnibble pattern. Honky Tonk fabric by Moda). Hopscotch. (Kim Diehl pattern and fabric, Simple Whatnots Club through Fatquartershop.com). Idaho Lily. (Kim Diehl pattern and fabric, Simple Whatnots Club through Fatquartershop.com). I feel incredibly lucky. These three small quilts have been outstandingly quilted by Mary Flynn of Quilt Holllow. […]
Lucy is completed! This pretty quilt took no time at all to make. In fact, after all the curved piecing and ruler drama I have had lately, this quilt was the perfect answer for me. I put a couple of audio books on the iPod and stitched away happily engrossed in both the books and […]
Wow. Remember this little Schnibbles? I call it Spooky Canasta. It is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. that I finished just about a year ago. My quilter (Mary of Quilt Hollow) just sent me this picture, and I tell you, she transformed this little quilt. I never cease to be amazed by the imagination […]
I am so thrilled with this quilt! It only has one major problem, and that is that I didn't make it twice as big. It was beautifully quilted by Mary of Quilt Hollow, and I don't think I could be any crazier about how it turned out. Zoom in if you can and take […]
