Category: Quilts in Progress
Remember this? That's right. It is my red and white snowball quilt! I am just now getting around to sewing the binding on it. (Hanging head in shame). To tell the truth, I only just got it quilted this summer and wasn't in a hurry to use it until the holidays. So it has been […]
I am just so excited about this new project! I'd like to jump up and down and squeal "Yippee!", but things jiggle and it doesn't feel good. Just pretend I am leaping about shouting my glee in your mind's eye. Without any jiggling. Halloween 1904 by Blackbird Designs is the pattern. I bought a kit […]
Now isn't this a pretty thing? This is the center section of my Shiloh quilt! I am so excited to have gotten these blocks together over the weekend. In fact, I was so excited to share it with you all that I took a picture before I even pressed the top. I love the colors […]
I have managed to squeeze in some sewing time this week. (Thank you Eva, for taking long naps). My Hill Country Basket blocks are coming along slowly. I like the block pattern, but the fabrics are a bit dark now that I am living with them. There will be a lattice separating the blocks, which […]
I have made some progress on my Hill Country Baskets blocks. Aren't they sweet? As I make them I am just tossing them up on the design wall, but when they are set into the quilt top properly, there will be a lattice separating the blocks. For this block, you need to make four half […]
Before I start on my new Spools project, I definitely need to clean up things in my sewing studio. Which means moving this Kiss Me project along. Yesterday was my day off, and I sewed the blocks together and attached the first border. Now I am making 48 flying geese, which will be the second […]
A couple of my friends and I are going to be doing a little sew along in the coming weeks, and I am pretty excited about it! Would you like to guess what it might be? Take a guess and on Wednesday I will announce the name of the first person to correctly predict just […]
I surely seem to be obsessed with my Fig Tree stash lately. Am I in danger of Figging Out? Well, wigging out maybe, but not due to my total immersion in this pretty fabric. So far, these lovely soft tones are just what I need to soothe my my raggedy psyche. I finished up three […]
Hey, everyone, how is your week going? My Wednesday was a lot better than the earlier part of the week, that's for sure. I finally said "No" to a commitment that has been making me unhappy and stressing me out, and I feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off my […]
Here is my first block made from the Fig Tree pattern "Kiss Me". Isn't it sweet? I am making my quilt from various Fig Tree corally reds. The fabric above is from Patisserie, but most of the reds I will use are from last summer's Strawberry Fields collection. I found my fabrics late in the […]
