First an update on my husband's situation: Things are not going at all well. He is still unable to stand or walk and now is experiencing a lack of coordination in his hands and arms. His speech is also affected. The back surgery was successful, but the doctors think there is some underlying medical condition […]
I'm not home this week, as I am still at my husband's side at the hospital. When I was home Saturday, I sat at my computer for a few minutes and prepared a few posts to automatically post this week. When I arrived home Friday afternoon, my front porch was loaded with packages that had […]
I haven't been completely idle this week. You might not be able to tell, but I did get the top row of my Base Camp table runner sewn together. I plan to wrap this project up today. Love that Timber fabric by Sweetwater. On another topic, do any of you subscribe to the Fat Quarter […]
Oh dear. I seem to be suffering from another quilting-related injury. This has happened to me before, and I've been suffering with it for over a week. I am having trouble with that fat pad right under my right thumb. I think it is a soft tissue injury due to all the rotary cutting trimming […]
I thought it was time to get back to my August Piece and Quilt blocks while it is still August. I am quite happy with these two blocks. The red one is Maple Leaf and the blue and grey one is Texas Puzzle. I've laid the blocks out as they will be positioned in the […]
I got so much done in my sewing room yesterday I can hardly believe it. Wait 'til I show you what all I accomplished. In the photo above, you can see that I got the lattice pieces all attached to the Summer in the Country quilt. Today I hope to sew the rows together. It […]
My Red Sampler Quilt was truly a labor of love. I feel like I was working on it off and on for a couple of years! This was a sew-along hosted by Lori Holt on her blog Bee In My Bonnet. Each week she posted a detailed tutorial on how she constructed the blocks. You […]
I have three quilts on their way to me from my quilter. This one was done all in greens, from a collection called Lucky Charms from Andover fabrics. This collection is pretty much sold out, but if you like it, a similar collection called Little Clover will be released by Andover soon. It is as […]
I admit it, for the past few years I have been a huge fan of sampler quilts. I've made quite a few of them, and really enjoy the challenge that comes with tackling a variety of blocks with different levels of difficulty. A sampler quilt features multiple different quilt block designs within a single quilt […]
This is nuts, but I am really terrible about taking the final step to have my quilt tops quilted. It is expensive for one thing, and I (used to at least) make a lot of quilts. This quilt is called Halloween 1904 and was a pattern put out by Blackbird Designs in 2012 I think. […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
