This sweet little quilt is back from the quilter already. I have to say I just love it. I hope to get it trimmed up and bound before i leave on vacation this weekend. My posting will be sporadic the next week or so. My son is coming from Ireland for a visit, and we […]
This is my other new project: 131 9th and Vine. It makes up into a very large quilt, without a lot of effort. No fussy blocks, no small pieces. All the 9 patch blocks can be strip pieced, and I am clipping along rapidly using my Bloc Loc strip ruler. This will be such a […]
I started a couple of new projects over the weekend. This is a block from a Minick and Simpson pattern called Liberty Road. In the pattern version, they made the quilt from their Charlevoix fabric collection, but I missed out on that one. I am using Ann's Arbor for my version, which is a very […]
I am so happy with this little quilt. I do have the top together, but I ran out of time yesterday. I still need to attach the corner squares and trim the quilt edges to be square. I will share a full size picture when I get that accomplished. I won't lie, sewing these lattices […]
Hope this photo doesn't make anybody dizzy. I have all the blocks made for the Jo Morton S'mores quilt–I believe there are 113 square in a square blocks and 28 pieced setting triangles, and 4 pieced corner triangles. I think I am going to love this quilt when I get it put together, but the […]
Honestly, I was not sure how much I was loving this quilt until I took all the dark brown nine patches out. Then it changed for me. It suddenly coordinated better with the border fabric I had on hand, and was just more pleasing to my eye. All the un-sewing I did on Sunday was […]
All the blocks for the Double Nine Patch quilt are finished. In fact there are enough blocks leftover to make another half a quilt because I took out all the dark brown fabrics. This involved a lot of ripping, but I decided I just didn't like the look of the dark brown nine patches. Now […]
I can't tell you how much I love this little quilt!! It is "Endearments" by Betsy Chutchian, made with her fabric collection Rachel Remembered. The finished quilt measures 29 3/8" square, and has a Memorial Day/Fourth of July vibe to it. I can see keeping this out on my dining table from May through September. […]
I have held fast to my resolve to get some quilt tops finished, and here is Windmills, All But Borders. It took all day yesterday to sew the blocks and rows together, and today my plan is to attach the outer borders. I am thinking a narrow red containment border and a dark brown outer […]
Before I fish or cut bait, I just want to let you know everyone is doing better. Ozzie is almost himself again, Eva's wrist is pretty good, and my dad continues to think his eye is getting back to normal. Thanks for all your kind wishes! So, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have […]
