Category: Quilts in Progress
Monday started out well. I had clean sheets on my bed and slept like a baby, my coffee was good in the morning, and I had a day that was wide open for whatever adventures I chose to embark upon. It turns out that my adventures consisted of sewing for a bit, taking the dog […]
This weekend was a mixed bag. You know the old expression “You win some, you lose some”? That definitely played a part in my life over the past few days. I will start with my wins. The house cleaners came on Friday and my house looks fabulous. I put away the Valentine’s decor and brought […]
This is my latest Bliss block, #8. I like it. I’ve always been a fan of that donut kind of shape in the center of a block. The half-square triangles feature a diagonal stripe fabric, prevalent in the Stitched fabric collection (by Fig Tree for Moda) I am using. It comes in every color in […]
For my Bliss quilting project, I needed 32 flying geese in an odd size: 1 3/4″ x 3″ unfinished. I have several Flying Geese trim tools that I love, the BlocLoc ones in particular, but didn’t have one in that size. My preferred method for making flying geese is the 4 at a time method, […]
I don’t have much to share today, just 44 flying geese. These particular geese are meant for the setting of the Bliss Quilt. I have 48 more to make for the border and a ton more for the center medallion. The ones for the center are for a very odd size. 1 3/4 x 3″. […]
My Christmas shopping is just about complete, so I found time to get up to the sewing room to work on the Winter Village project. It would be nice to finish all the blocks before the holidays. The layout is pretty simple, so, with any luck (and no procrastination), I could even get the whole […]
Winter Village now has a housing development! I managed to put my books down and get up into the sewing room and make the first five houses for my quilt top. They were so easy to do, I am ashamed that I can’t seem to spend more time sewing lately. I have been so busy […]
I am happy to say that I have moved on to a new Halloween UFO project! I pulled out my Fig Tree monthly sew-along that I’ve been working on for at least two years. This one is called Halloween Figs. Some of the blocks do involve applique and as you see, I have my units […]
I’ve been working on assembling the Pumpkin Spice quilt. This was a sew-along hosted by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. The sew-along was a quick one, lasting eight weeks this summer. Every week, we had an assignment to make a certain number of blocks that we would later assemble into the whole quilt top. You […]
Remember these fabulous blocks from last year? The fabric is Hey Boo by Lella Boutique and the pattern is Moonlight from the Halloween Memories book by Susan Ache. I was working on it last summer when Dennis got ill and my world unraveled. I was super organized with the block preparation, so it didn't take […]
