I am so excited to share these photos with you all! My quilter, Mary of Quilt Hollow, sent me these pictures from her iPad. I haven't even received the quilts back in the mail yet, but I just had to post them on the blog. Get a load of that quilting! The quilting design is […]
This is what 144 Bow Tie Blocks look like. I need to make considerably more to have this quilt be remotely bed sized. I keep thinking "What a nice center for a medallion quilt…" But I will keep going with making more Bow Ties. They are just such fun to do and even if my […]
This is where we have been spending our afternoons. It is just too darn hot not to take advantage of it. I pick Eva up from preschool and we head right on over to soak in the cool cool pool. Yesterday we stopped at McDonalds for ice cream and were told the ice cream machine […]
So this is what 72 3 inch Bow Tie blocks look like. I feel like I have been making them forever already, but they are pretty cute. I am going to keep at it and see how far I can get with this quilt before I cry "Uncle". You may recall that in previous posts […]
Simple Granny is a finish! ABD (all but borders). I love the pure saturated colors of the fabric collection I used–Fancy by Lily Ashbury. I want to use one of the larger prints in the line for the outer border, but am undecided as to which color to go with. Help me out–The large […]
I managed to finish Looking Glass, but not get a very good picture of it. Looking Glass is a pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. The fabric I used was mostly Old Glory Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings, but I tossed in some Minick and Simpson, French General and odd pieces from my […]
When I was trying to select a category for the post I was in a quandary. "Books"? "Blocks"? "Tools"? The little fan of wonderfulness above is all of those things. The pages are laminated and double sided, and contain instructions for making 102 rotary cut quilt blocks in 5 different sizes, from 3" on up. […]
Flip Flop. I can't decide which project I want to work on, so I am working on both! They could not be more different, but I love them both. After the day our family had Tuesday, I found immersing myself in sewing to be very therapeutic. I had the day off and spent every minute […]
Well, I can tell you that my hair is now completely white. My daughter was in an automobile accident Tuesday morning and this is how she ended up. Poor little Remy was with her, not harnessed, and experienced quite a tumble around in that car. And both of them emerged from the car unscathed, physically […]
I am itching to start a new project, and I had it in mind that I would get back to my simplified Granny Square blocks. But then…. I was reading the blogs in my blog feed and found a recent post by the folks at Primitive Gatherings. You may or may not know that […]
