Category: Quilts in Progress
New Year's Resolutions? At first I was going to say "No, I don't believe in it", but I do have one. That is to get these two projects off my design walls!!!!!!! They have both been up there for the better part of 2017, and they must go. The one on the right is Triangle […]
Hope you all had a great weekend! We launched our Christmas shopping and got a fair amount accomplished. No waiting until the last minute this year. I started a new project on the Featherweight, and I have really been enjoying getting reacquainted with that little machine. There are a few tips that I am […]
It's coming along, for sure. I have to say, I do love the color palette Ahren has chosen for his quilt. The charcoal and amber is quite striking. I've finished 14 rows and think I need to make another six or so for a good bed sized quilt. His birthday is May 22, so my […]
Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. Funny, I never expect much from Mother's Day, and am always surprised, humbled and grateful for the attention I receive from my wonderful children. My son Ahren, who lives in Ireland, sent me a fabulous paperweight made by an artist named John Deacons from Scotland. I think […]
Now the fun really begins with my Halloween Bounce project. In my last post I mentioned that I made the star blocks two different sizes. How is that going to all go together you may be wondering. Well, it turns out that you trim all the blocks down to the same size! The blocks are […]
Raise the Roof is coming right along! Here you see the main body of the quilt arranged on the design wall. The Sawtooth Star blocks and the Log Cabin blocks are not yet sewn together, but you can see what the layout will be. My design wall is 72 inches square, so you can also […]
The end is in sight for the Log Cabin Blocks. Only ten more to go, and this baby is done, except for borders. I am enjoying working with the ruler, but have to say I am looking forward to making this project a finish and moving on. The rest of the week I will be […]
Whoops, one of these blocks is turned the wrong way. Can you spot it? I never notice these things until I take a picture and can see things from a different perspective. Just goes to show you how valuable snapping a photo of your project can be before you get it all sewn together. I've […]
It may not look like much, but I have made substantial progress on Viola. I have finished all the appliquéd stem units and finished nine complete blocks. I quite like the look of the blocks all together! At this point I am still undecided as to what size to make this quilt. The pattern […]
Despite a rather busy weekend, I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of sewing, and reconnected with my Viola project. I do like how this is coming together, except for the fact that my red flower vases look almost identical to the pink ones. I may have to see what lighter pinks are […]
