I can see the end in the distance! I have my fourteen or fifteen gift quilts piled up on the guest room bed, and all but five of them are bound and labeled and ready to give away. I will start taking some pictures and show you all the quilts I am gifting to my […]
This is Metro Hoops, my first Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern made with their curved ruler. I love the results, but it was a struggle getting all those points to line up. I should really try another Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern, but I will have to psych myself up for it. I suggest you […]
I have been getting a ton of quilts back from my fabulous quilter, and thought I would share some of the results with you. I will wait to show photos of the quilts until I get the dreaded bindings sewn on. I have finished several, but have so many more to do for my big […]
I am pretty pleased with this one. Raise the Roof by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. Jefferson County fabrics, designed by Jeanne Horton for Windham. The finished size of the quilt is 74" x 74". There are 32 sawtooth star blocks and 32 log cabin blocks. I love the "sunshine and shadow" effect the stars make […]
I am buried in strips here. The border for Raise the Roof involves what is called a "Piano Key" border. To achieve this, you make strip sets which you sub cut and piece together for a border. It is a great effect and uses up a ton of fabric. I am making six strip sets […]
I may not be getting a lot of sewing done, but I have been on a mission sending tops out for quilting. This past week, I got three of them back, and am so pleased with the results. Tumbler is pictured above, done in various Denyse Schmidt fabrics. That quilt has such a modern […]
I was able to squeeze a bit of sewing into my schedule a few weeks ago, and made up this cute little table topper with some Minick and Simpson fabric from a Frivols box. I made the quilt a bit smaller than the directions called for, so that it would fit just right on Sara's […]
Sara is doing a happy dance, now that I have the borders on her Log Cabin quilt. This quilt is going out for quilting this week, and will be a nice addition to her bedroom decor in her new house. Gosh, I had so much fun with all of you, voting on which log cabin […]
I am feeling so good about donating some of my unquilted tops to various charitable organizations! Here is one I called "Inner Cowgirl" that I sent off last week. I still think it is kind of cute, just not for me. Here is another cheery one that hopefully, someone will like. I believe this was […]
Thanks for all the encouraging comments regarding my gigantic stack of unquilted tops. You are so right, I definitely enjoyed picking out the fabrics and piecing those quilts. Most of them anyway. I am going to start sending the ones that deserve it out to be quilted and give them to my loved ones. As […]
