Down the Drunkard’s Path

I went down the Drunkard's Path for sure this week. I am not sure what inspired me to starch and press my Autumn fabric collection by Lori Holt and drag out my Drunkard's Path templates, but this is the result. I used a pattern called Daybreak Mini by Sheri McConnell of A Quilting Life for […]

I Couldn’t Help Myself

I had a lovely bundle of Autumn fabric by Lori Holt on the shelf and it has been calling to me. I wanted to make another mini quilt for late summer/early fall, and those colors are just perfect. I am not sure where I got the notion, but I thought I might make a small […]

Neutral Granny Finished

I was super productive on Sunday and made a dent in my mile-long quilting To Do list. At the top of the list was the Neutral Granny table runner for my sister. I don't know why, but I was over-thinking that project from start to finish. Should I go with more lights, or add in […]

Neutral Granny- ABB- and a Discussion Question

I've got Neutral Granny up on the design wall, and as you see, it is All But Borders. I do hope to get those attached this weekend and send it off for quilting next week.  What do you think, does that block on the far right stand out too much? Should I replace it with […]

Sewing Progress This Week

This has been a great week as far as sewing goes. I managed to get in some sewing time just about every day. The blocks above are the first two granny square blocks for my sister Andrea's neutral table runner. I love how it's coming together. I'll have to confer with her about the length. […]

Life Changing Binding Technique

Some of you know this about me, but if you are new here, you may not know that I really do not enjoy sewing bindings on my quilts by hand. I know many of you will tell me how much you love to sit in front of tv in the evening and happily stitch away. […]

Six Chair Cushions Done, and a Fun New Quilt Kit

Well, I got six cushion covers made and stuffed with foam. I am waiting on more foam squares before I make any more. If the thickness is different from the ones I have made so far, I will have to recalculate my measurements. I figured it was better to wait rather than make more covers […]

Bats and Boos- All But Border

My Bats and Boos quilt is all but finished. I just need to add an outer border and send it off to be quilted. I will love using this next Halloween. I am really happy with how it turned out and how fun it was to make. The pattern is free on Fatquartershop.com. This center […]

Bats and Boos

A year or so ago the Fatquarter Shop did a Halloween Mystery Quilt sew-along they called Bats and Boos. The pattern is completely free on their website. I didn't get a chance to make it at the time the sew-along took place, but I have kept it in the back of my mind as a […]

Haunted Halloween, a Finish!

Wooooooooo, it's a great feeling to get this spooky little wall hanging done! The project was sponsored by Fat Quarter Company, and the block patterns are completely free. It was an easy and fun project to work on. I hope I can get it out to be quilted (and back!) in time to use it […]
