Category: Quilts in Progress
Sewcialites is finally off the design wall! Woo hoo! All the rows are sewn together and the borders attached. I have to say, those blocks all came together pretty perfectly. No fudging was required when sewing them together, which is unusual. I credit careful cutting, a strict 1/4" seam allowance, pressing seams open, and starching […]
I feel as if I've been on vacation for two weeks. Today is the day I get back on a schedule though. I plan to make the most of any free time I have during the week and not lose momentum with my projects. The red and white blocks above are week nine of Lori […]
I came home from seeing my father on Sunday afternoon thinking I would tear upstairs to the sewing room and get those three outer borders on this Little Village quilt. And I just couldn't. I was running on empty. The kind of empty where you just want to sit and play solitaire, or scroll mindlessly […]
Woo hoo, more progress has been made on the Little Village quilt. I got all the middle of the quilt lattices on. This Sunday when I get home from my father's I will put on the top, bottom and sides. Next comes a solid red containment border and finally an outer border of a cream […]
My husband and I were sitting in the living room visiting with each other while dinner cooked. We do that most nights. Take some time at the end of the day to sit together with a glass of wine and connect with one another. He asked me "So what project are you working on right […]
This is really coming along. It is Piecing the Past's "Comfort and Blessing" summer quilt along. The patterns are available for purchase on their website. I think I have been referring to this project as "Comfort and Joy" but that wasn't right. I must have Christmas in July on my brain. Anyway, sorry for any […]
Well, this is a mess. My sewing room has so many projects going on, it doesn't know what hit it. I have three block of the week projects in process, and enjoy seeing my completed blocks on display, so there you are. A big mess. Thank you all so much for your kind comments and […]
Greetings fellow shut-ins. Hope you all had a good weekend. We cleaned the house from top to bottom, spent a lot of time on the front porch, planted some summer annuals, and got in a wee bit of sewing. I tidied the sewing room as part of the cleaning effort, and somehow the project box […]
I had to take a break and go outside today. The weather still isn't very nice, but my pansies seem quite happy with the rain, grey skies and cool temperatures. I am longing for warmer days spent out on the porch. I see myself surrounded by hanging flower baskets, wearing my white jeans…Oh wait, they […]
Well, this would be a one block quilt that I started over a year ago, packed up into a project box and put away in the closet. As you see, I had made a bunch of blocks. I certainly had cut out a lot of strips. But where were the instructions? Was the block from […]
