Three quilts came back from my quilter last week. The Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt above is going to be a gift. I bet you were thinking, "Nicole, you just got your shelves sorted out, what are you doing adding more big quilts to the piles?" No, it isn't for me. I am very pleased with […]
First Flake is finished! I am happy to have had the experience of making this fun and easy strip-pieced quilt. The pattern was purchased by me as a pdf download from an Etsy seller. I was inspired by Thelma's red and white version and will be excited to add this to my January/Winter decor. It […]
I will be the first to admit this was an "off-year" for me as far as quilting was concerned. Recently, my daughter Sara was asking me why I was relatively unproductive in 2019, and I had to give it some thought before I answered her. I think there were several main reasons. First, I was […]
I think I will be hand sewing bindings on for the next little while. I was so provoked that I did not have enough of the dark green border fabric for the binding on the Corn and Beans quilt. It was a little kit, and you would think they would have included that fabric in […]
I received some quilts in the mail from my quilters yesterday and had to share with you. They are a bit rumpled, just out of the boxes, but over the next few days I will get them pressed and trimmed and bound. I will have another chance to take better photos of them once they […]
Oh boy. This quilt has been a process I tell you. I started it one, maybe two years ago and it has had me scratching my head from the get go. The instructions are fine. It is just me being super confused about the diagonal layout and frustrated by my choices of fabrics. It is […]
Amidst the craziness that is beginning to define this summer, I managed to dig out two quilts that I simply must send out for quilting. The one above I think I made ten years ago believe it or not. Yes, time to get that baby quilted. It is half square triangles set into stars and […]
This is just a quick post on a quilt I have been enjoying lately. It is called Short Line, and is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. It was made with fabrics from various American Jane (Sandy Klop) collections, designed for Moda. It is a gorgeous quilt and although I have had it for […]
Several years ago I mentored a young friend for a year. She was working on her senior project for high school and wanted to learn how to quilt. She was an apt and eager student, and during the course of year, she completed several baby quilts which were donated to women in need who had […]
I think one of the reasons I have been avoiding my sewing room is due to all the nearly finished projects that have been piling up over the past year. I don't know what finally got me up there, but I bit the bullet this weekend and attached the binding to 9 quilts. Yes 9. […]
