I know. Just reflect on that for a moment. When I was reminded that I had made a blue and white Winding Ways quilt awhile back, I decided to see if I could dig it out of the flimsy bin. Well, bless my heart, it wasn't the only blue quilt waiting to be quilted in […]
This is the second quilt I received back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow, last week. I made it for a very special man in my life, and am so pleased with how it turned out. Mary's quilting is wonderful. She used a classic design called Baptist Fans, which I think perfectly sets […]
Just look at that beautiful quilting! It was done by Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow. She is just the best,and I could not be happier. In fact, I love it so much I am using a cropped photo of it as my summer blog banner. The pattern is called Paganini by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. […]
Trace, a Little Bites pattern by Miss Rosies' Quilt Company. I used High Street, a fabric collection by Lily Ashbury for Moda. It went together fast, and I love the bright cheerful colors for summer. The quilt measures about 22 1/2" square. I am probably sewing the binding on it as you read this! I […]
I have had so many inquiries about my watermelon quilt, partially shown in my blog header. I made the quilt 10 years ago after a trip to Wisconsin to visit my sister Mary. The fabrics for the quilt were mostly all purchased on that trip from a couple of quilt shops in Sun Prairie, WI. […]
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 […]
My half square triangle experiment, now dubbed "The Madness" is finished! I am quite happy with the results and the person to whom I am gifting the quilt seems to like it as well. He has named it "The Madness" after his wine label and one of his best selling wines. I love the name, […]
There has been so much talk of late regarding "low volume" quilts. Low Volume meaning quilts with soft colors and little contrast. The concept of low volume is definitely nothing new! The quilt pictured above is my version of a "low volume" quilt, which I made five or six years ago. At the time I […]
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2014 blesses you with good luck, prosperity and excellent health. I don't have any firm resolutions to state, however my wish is that I will make more time for both sewing and reading. As I have done in the past, I thought my first post for the New Year […]
Just under the wire, but I made it! Two last finishes for 2013. The quilt shown in the photo above is "All Wrapped Up" a pattern by Moda. I used the Kate Spain "Flurry" line of fabric. Great directions, simple construction, and you have a very cute quilt to enjoy during the holidays. I really […]
