I am continuing to crank out Sawtooth Stars for the Barbara Brackman Sew Along. I have always loved Reproduction fabrics, as they work so well in my more traditional decorating style. However, in the past couple of years, I have been so attracted to the brighter colors that so many quilters are using. Supposedly that […]
It has been so nice to have time to sew this week. Occupying space on my main design wall is the Flowering Snowball quilt I am making with Baycreek templates and Kaffe Fasset fabrics. I am so late to the party when it comes to Kaffe Fasset. Believe it or not, I had never bought […]
This is another Kim Diehl project. I joined up for her Simple What Nots program again. This is Season Two, Month One. Those little hexies are appliqued on. I am such a klutz when ironing the applique pieces around the freezer paper shapes, and good grief, what a mess I make with the glue when […]
Eva has been talking about her "daddy's birthday" since October. SInce his birthday is January 24, we have been hearing all about what she will wear, what foods will be served, what present she will give him and who else will be at the party. I had been working with a collection of fabric called […]
I can't seem to stop making these little six inch Sawtooth Star blocks. Help! I need an intervention. A couple of years ago, a friend was clearing out her stash cupboard and sent me a few charm packs from Primitive Gatherings. I had attended a quilt show and picked up a couple on my own […]
I was reading Moda, the Cutting Table this past weekend and learned about a sew along in which I just have to participate. Carrie Nelson, of Miss Rosie fame, is now working for Moda (talk about a dream job…) and one of her responsibilites is writing the Cutting Table blog. If you don't follow […]
Lucky me, I have had lots of sewing time this week. I am still working on getting the border on my Rhubarb Whirl quilt, and won't subject you another photo of that thing in progress. It's coming along very well. Do you remember me posting about wanting to make an Orange Peel quilt awhile back? […]
The quilt I have been working on recently has a lot of pinwheel blocks. (And yes, I did fix that one that was turned wrong). A friend reminded me that when I made a pinwheel quilt about six years ago I announced that I would never make another pinwheel block in my life. I thought they […]
I am happy to share that my Rhubarb Whirl center blocks are done. I did make the quilt larger than the pattern instructions, and mine will be around 72 inches square once I get the border on. I made 64 pinwheel blocks for my version. It seemed a more useful size for my needs. Blocks […]
I am just crazy mad in love with this quilt (photo from book, Home to Roost). I have had in my mind for a year or more to make this quilt, but I didn't know how to find the pattern. My inspiration was a miniature quilt called Pinwheel Gardens I saw on Pinterest by Lisa […]
