Category: Quilts in Progress
I swear I started out the day sewing, and made a total of six more Jacob's Ladder blocks. But the weather was so gorgeous–in the 80s!–I just had to be outside with Eva. After I picked her up from school we came home and had a tea party, then we played outside with her water […]
As you can see, I now have a wall full of Jacob's Ladder blocks covering up the entire design board. I have been having a great time making the blocks and throwing them up on the wall. I still have 18 or 20 more to make, as I do want this quilt to be quite […]
I am happy to say that I did make a few more Jacob's Ladder blocks yesterday and plan to sew again today and make some more. This project was inspired by American Patchwork and Quilting's "Go Four It" Sew Along featured in their most recent issue. The idea is to use scads of four […]
Past and Present, all but borders. I really like the way these blocks came together. The deep jewel tones of the Kansas Troubles fabrics (mostly Sweet Pea) are colorful, but still rich and masculine. Just right for the friend to whom Sara wants to give the quilt. As mentioned, the pattern is called Past and […]
It was so fun to get so much feedback yesterday on what quilt project you all would have me work on. I have to laugh at myself and tell you a bit about me. Back in the day when I was in high school and college and had to study, I was pretty disciplined with […]
Oh dear. I believe I may have too many things going on just at the moment. What to work on? I have been trying to work on them all, and make a block or two each day or so. This can't keep up. I need to clear off the design walls, except for one project, […]
I've been busy making little four patch blocks this past few days. They go together so quickly and are the perfect project to work on while I watch episodes of Call the Midwife. (I am really enjoying that series). These four patches are for a sew along sponsored by American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, […]
It has been so nice to have time to sew this week. Occupying space on my main design wall is the Flowering Snowball quilt I am making with Baycreek templates and Kaffe Fasset fabrics. I am so late to the party when it comes to Kaffe Fasset. Believe it or not, I had never bought […]
I can't seem to stop making these little six inch Sawtooth Star blocks. Help! I need an intervention. A couple of years ago, a friend was clearing out her stash cupboard and sent me a few charm packs from Primitive Gatherings. I had attended a quilt show and picked up a couple on my own […]
Lucky me, I have had lots of sewing time this week. I am still working on getting the border on my Rhubarb Whirl quilt, and won't subject you another photo of that thing in progress. It's coming along very well. Do you remember me posting about wanting to make an Orange Peel quilt awhile back? […]
