Here it is! My Civil War Reproduction version of Spools! I was so happy to get this put together this weekend. I varied the pattern slightly by making some of the "thread" strips thinner, so I could get to use more fabrics from my stash and make things a bit scrappier looking. The pattern calls […]
This weekend I managed to squeeze in some time to work on my Civil War Spools. I don't know which of these cute blocks is my favorite! I am quite partial to the green ones, I have to say. I will make 16 blocks in all, and probably do the straight setting/small quilt with these […]
Well, I haven't made much progress on my Spools projects since my post on Wednesday, but I did get a picture from Stephani, who is sewing along with us. This is what she shared: Cute little guys, aren't they? Sorry, I couldn't seem to enlarge the photo, but aren't her colors fresh? The reason I […]
I just had to give a Spools update, mid-week. I have been working away at my blocks, and had a light bulb moment. In yesterday's post I commented that I had sewn some narrower strips for my lattice for the Dimestore Schnibble, as the designer, Carrie Nelson, had suggested in her pattern instructions. In my […]
Here are my Spools strip sets all ready to go. I love getting them up on my design wall, because one or two always stand out as not playing well with the others. I see you, and no, you can't be in my quilt. The next step for me is to get the white background […]
So, are you going to play along with us? Thelma, Lisa and I are going to make this wonderful Spools quilt from Camille Roskelley's new pattern "Spools". Don't you think every one of us needs to have a version of this quilt hanging in our sewing rooms? It will be like a Flag of Sisterhood. […]
Besame mucho means Kiss Me A Lot. And lots of kissing is what I feel like doing now that this adorable quilt is finished! Pattern is Kiss Me by Fig Tree Quilts, fabric is Strawberry Fields, also by Fig Tree for Moda. Joanna Figueroa is the designer. Aside from some tricky cutting (made easier if […]
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 […]
Ok, girls, let's rev up our engines and plan to make this adorable quilt! Several of you guessed that this might be the pattern I was was going to be working on, and you were right. You also asked if you could sew along! Of course you can. It will be so much fun to […]
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 […]
