Category: Quilts in Progress

Thanks to the Nancys (Near Philadelphia and In Wisconsin), I got out of my funk regarding Meadowbrook Farm.  Actually, thanks to all of you who encouraged me to starch, press, re-think, finish, send it away, or put it up on a shelf in a brown bag forever.  You were ALL right!  I must admit I was very close […]

Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight……No, not that kind of star.  Fabric stars!  I pulled out the UFO labeled "Roman Holiday" and got to work on it over the weekend.  Lots of stars in this pattern–in fact, it is ALL stars and flying geese!  The pattern is Opening Day by Miss Rosie's Quilt […]

I admit it.  I am weak.  My goal this summer was to finish a good percentage of the unfinished projects that are filling up my stash closet and plastic project storage boxes.  I had this fantasy in my mind that at the end of the summer I would pose for a picture next to a […]

Seriously, I should just come up with a new category called Unfinished Quilts.  Or maybe I need to add a new side bar that is entitled Gallery Of Shame, and show pictures of all my unfinished projects.  The Rigid Quilter has moved to my house from Florida, where she was previously living with Karen Dianne, […]

It sounds like a horse race doesn't it?  My thoroughbred Posh Baskets is performing well now that I resolved the problem of the triangle pieces that are below the base of each basket.  For some reason, when I was constructing the blocks, the seam allowance kept getting cut off and the basket bases had blunted […]

As Ozzie may have mentioned, there has been a lot of sewing going on around here.  As a matter of fact, I have barely had a minute when I wasn’t either sewing or cooking over the past four or five days.  I will share some of my projects with you. My two color blocks are […]

Over the weekend, I made some progress on my Strip Quilt, using the Jocelyn fabrics by Sentimental Studios for Moda.  There are two blocks in the quilt, a "flower block" shown above and a chain block made up of green, white and yellow.  There are two units within the flower block.  One is a simple […]

Last Saturday I attended a class at Prairiequeens called We Bee Strippin’.  I have always wanted to go to one of those classes where you start with a kit of perfectly cut 2 1/2 inch strips and make a mystery quilt project.  Do you remember back in March when I taught a class at Prairiequeens?  […]

One of the activities planned for the Quilting Retreat was a UFO exchange.  We were all supposed to go through our UFO’s and choose one to trade or give away while up at the retreat.  The theory being one person’s garbage is another person’s treasure and all that.  So, in preparation for the exchange, I […]

I didn’t wait very long after all, did I?
