Looking Glass, a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company is nearly a finish. ABD (all but borders). And the border on this quilt is scrappy and will be super fun to piece, so that won't be long in the works. Loved how quickly and easily this top came together. I was going to say […]
Looking Glass is coming along great. Only one more row, then the borders. If I hadn't been called away on a pool play date, I know I would have finished the main body of the top yesterday. But after all, it is summer, and there are fun things to be done outside. We had such […]
I thought some of you might be interested in how this quilt comes together. I am working on Looking Glass, a Miss Rosie pattern. When I studied the pattern photo, I had a difficult time picturing how this top was going to be assembled. Basically, there are two blocks that make up the quilt. A […]
Do you browse Instagram and Pinterest? I have heard those sites are overtaking blogging in popularity and are a great source of information and inspiration. Being a wordy sort of person, I will never give up blogging, as I like to write too much. I do however, love to see what's going on with folks […]
I have recovered from my sewing slump already, but had to share with you what appeared on my empty design wall last week. Eva was deeply troubled by the wide empty space and took pains to fill it up with Works In Progress. Is that cute or what? Looking forward to sharing my new project […]
Well my friends, it is a finish! Crop Circles, a pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, made with Australian designer Jen Kingwell's new Gardenvale fabric collection. I admit, I was calling this the Quilt of a Thousand Steps because there was so much to making it. Lots and lots of prep work […]
No sewing so far this week. I just haven't had it in me for some reason. I've been pretty active of late, so I suppose I just need a break. I have been playing with Eva, doing some extra work at the shop and reading. Enjoying the weather before it gets too hot. I better […]
Yesterday I buckled down and got the rows all sewn together for Ashcombe. It still needs its piano key border, which will finish it off nicely. I have it draped over the upstairs railing for the photo. It would have been a good idea to give the top a good shaking to get all […]
Isn't that a pretty sight? An entire fat quarter of Fancy by Lily Ashbury, all starched and dried and ready to be cut out. I started a new project! Do you remember the Granny Square project everyone was working on three or four years ago? Well, I was inspired to resurrect that concept […]
It all started out in the garage, where I store labeled bins of my fabric stash. I have a couple of metal shelving racks that hold the bins very nicely, with some spaces in-between. My problem is, my husband sees those little empty places on the shelves as an invitation to plop some completely non […]
