This sweet little quilt is back from the quilter already. I have to say I just love it. I hope to get it trimmed up and bound before i leave on vacation this weekend. My posting will be sporadic the next week or so. My son is coming from Ireland for a visit, and we […]
Courthouse Steps is finally a finish. This quilt has been at least a year in the making. I started out strong, then put the project away, and only brought it back out in the New Year. This is my year to Use It Up, so the quilt is made entirely of scraps from my stash […]
Drumroll please…I am so proud to present my first finish of 2018. This is Triangle Gatherings 2017, a year long project hosted by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. I thoroughly enjoyed this year long saga, and want to thank Lisa for her generosity in hosting the sew along and providing the many different block settings. […]
I thought I'd look back at the quilts I completed in 2017 and share. There are more quilts in the parade than usual for me, mainly because I focused more on making smaller quilts. I intend to continue with this habit, as there is a limit to the number of full sized quilts I can […]
Honestly. I wish I had purchased a Bernina 440 Quilter's Edition years ago. This is a fabulous sewing machine. I love my Bernina 153, and it has been a really reliable workhorse. For 19 years. But everything about the 440 is an upgrade. I spent all weekend sewing on it, and I just can't tell […]
This little quilt is a Kim Diehl design called Simple Folk. It finishes at 18 1/2 inches and was made entirely on the Singer Featherweight. The blocks start out with 2 1/2" pinwheel blocks, which form the center of log cabin blocks. The blocks finish at 6 1/2". It has kind of a homey/folksy feel. […]
This is my completed Oak Patch variation quilt. The pattern is by Kim Diehl from the book Simple Friendships, a collaboration by Kim and Jo Morton. I recommend the book, which has recently been published. It is full of patterns I would love to make, not all of them involving appliqué. I wish I didn't […]
Paddle Boats from "Best of Black Mountain", a Teri Christopherson pattern circa 2002. My six year old grand daughter is holding up this little quilt while I take a picture. She is holding a big piece of French bread in her mouth , which you cannot see, but she had to do something with it […]
It took me awhile, but I did get the final border on my Halloween Bounce quilt top and am sending it off to my amazing quilter this week. Last year was the year of me sending quilts off to be quilted that I intended to gift to family members, but this year I am […]
Sara's Buzz Saw quilt is back from my fabulous quilter already, and is such a pretty, summery quilt. I could not be more pleased with it. The quilting design we chose has daisies and honey bees on it, which fits in with both the quilt block name and the fabric, both of which have a […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
