I received an interesting comment last week from Peski Patti (no blog). I would be so interested to see if you agree with her or not. Let's get a dialog going as to our preferences. I will quote her comment here: "One thing I don't care for in a quilt is a block or two that […]
Hope all of you are enjoying the long weekend. How I used to look forward to a three day weekend! And envy the Europeans for their monthly "bank holidays". Now that I am not working, it seems that one day flows into the next, making my life one long weekend. Whatever you are doing, I […]
I have moved on to working on my Elizabeth quilt. I am combining fabric groups for this quilt. Mostly I will be using French General's Rouenneries, but my light background is from the 3 Sisters group Martinique, and my fussy cut star centers are from Rural Jardin, the new collection from French General for Moda. […]
At least my flying geese units for Big Madeline are finished. Next step will be to construct the 25 Sawtooth Star blocks I need for the top. My plan is to work on those when the hardwood floor men are here this week. That is going to be a great quilt! Sophie is still in the […]
I love this pattern. (Madeline, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.). I love this fabric. (Rounenneries by French General for Moda). I want to make this quilt, but I do not want a Schinbbles size quilt. I want a BIG quilt. Well, at least 70 inches or so square. But I don't want […]
I've been playing a bit in the sewing room this week. Trying to get used to the idea of spending a lot more time in there! I pulled out my Simple Abundance basket block project and had myself some fun. These colors just say Spring to me, and give my spirits such a lift. (Not […]
OMG, I have to make a switcheroo. On a dime. This is the sort of thing that makes life interesting. My niece is graduating from high school this June and I wanted to give her a quilt. I had a nice pastel one in mind that was already pieced and just waiting for quilting. Then, I […]
I can't seem to get a good picture of this to save my life. The picture above shows a random placement of the blocks so you can get the idea. Trust me, it is coming along, and it is going to be nice. I still have more blocks to make in different color combinations, so […]
Rain. And more rain. We are getting tired of it, Sophie and I. She doesn't get her walks on schedule, and is going out of her mind with boredom. Today I took her for a little ride in the car, just to get her out of the house, and she actually seemed to enjoy it. […]
In the past couple of weeks I have started five new projects. Five. Cut out the fabric, made a few blocks and carefully placed everything in a project box. I am very excited about each of these new projects, but am feeling a bit schizophrenic. Which one shall I focus on? I truly cannot decide. […]
