The miles of binding are completed, and Sara's Log Cabin quilt is installed on her bed. Remy jumped right up on it and told us he thought it would be ok. What is it with our pets and new quilts? They always want to lie down on them to test them out. How many times […]
I recently got three quilts back from my quilter, and now my world is Bindings. I live on the planet of Bindings. I need to get two baby quilts bound by Saturday. Sara has been waiting for her Log Cabin quilt for so long, I feel as if I have to get her quilt to […]
Six blocks completed for Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern I am making with Larkspur by 3 Sisters. Thirteen more of these full blocks to make, and then about as many partial blocks, plus some in-between blocks. This is a quilt with a lot of piecing. I wasn't sure how I would like these […]
As part of my Year of Finishing Projects, I have just completed my Tumbler quilt. I had previously thought this quilt was a finish, but after some reflection, decided it needed a couple of borders. I used some solid black for a narrow containment border, and cut up the fabric I had intended to […]
Oh dear, I have to admit I got side tracked again over the weekend. I was rummaging around in the garage and found a project box labeled Mystery Block of the Month 2013. When I opened the box, I discovered 12 completed blocks of the month in the 3 Sisters Peace on Earth collection, along […]
I have one test block made for my new project, Into the Wind, a Miss Rosie pattern. The cutting for this project was pretty intense and took me a couple of days. I decided to make all my flying geese units with Monique Dillard's Fit to be Geese ruler, with means I had to figure […]
So, I have made a few fabric purchases lately. This may come as a surprise from Nicole, Who Has Not Been Sewing So Much Lately. However, one purchase was an impulse, one was a need, and the last was a subscription. My impulse purchase from Fat Quarter Shop is shown in the photo above. A […]
I wanted to share this little quilt with you. I had made it during a Spools sew along a few years ago, and never got the borders on it. I made all my spools with strips of different fabrics in the same color way. In other words, the green spool is made up of […]
Did you all have a nice weekend? Hope so! The weather was spring like here, and we all gathered at my Dad's house for Easter Brunch. Gosh what a fun event that is. Everybody shares their signature brunch dish and we eat like kings. My nephew (whose wife is expecting the baby) made the salad […]
The following books are ones I enjoyed, but maybe are not the literary quality of the ones from yesterday's post. Lisa Gardner is a prolific author, whose books I am currently obsessing over. I started with her Detective D.D. Warren series and have read the following, one after the other: Alone, Hide, The Neighbor, Live […]
