Wow. Remember this little Schnibbles? I call it Spooky Canasta. It is a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. that I finished just about a year ago. My quilter (Mary of Quilt Hollow) just sent me this picture, and I tell you, she transformed this little quilt. I never cease to be amazed by the imagination […]
I have been working away on my orange and black checkerboard blocks for "Lucy", and have worked myself up into a fine Halloween frame of mind. I took a break from checkerboard blocks this weekend and stitched up this cute little Halloween table topper in one day. I have been thinking of making this […]
I was very lucky to snag a beautiful kit of cream, orange and black fabric from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. recently. The kits were in very limited supply and appear to have sold out, but don't despair, you can still put together these fabrics on your own, with a little effort. If you don't have […]
I have shared with you in the past the great sewing studio I had in my former house. The house itself wasn't so great by any means, but my husband sweetened the pot by promising me he would put in a perfect sewing studio in an outbuilding to the house. And he did. I […]
My memory is just kaput, I tell you. My friends have all been setting me straight as to 1) the name of this pattern, 2) exactly where I was when I started it, and 3) what fabric line I used. Darcy is the name of the pattern, a Schnibbles, designed by Carrie Nelson of Miss […]
Oh dear, I have done it again. Somehow buried something very cute at the bottom of the stash closet and forgot I had it. I made this little Schnibbles quilt years ago. Years ago, as in 2007. I took a class with Carrie Nelson, at Buggy Barn, and this one one of the projects. I […]
It was a perfect weekend. I got in lots of sewing time, and completed the two Kim Diehl projects that were the focus of the two classes I took with her during my recent trip. The first project was the easiest as far as machine applique is concerned. Only those easy little leaf shapes which […]
Idaho Lily is coming right along. The applique is all done, the blocks connected, the inner border on, and the sawtooth border started. This little table topper is going to go great with my decor, especially during the upcoming holidays. I tell you, it made me VERY nervous to cut away the backing fabric behind […]
Have any of you heard of the Flowering Snowball block? It has been all the rage on Instagram and Flickr. A blogger named Molly Flanders Makerie started up a Sew Along, and you just would not believe how cute those quilts are. Check out the link for her wrap up and see all the beautiful […]
The machine applique of my Kim Diehl Idaho LIly project is done! It wasn't too bad, really. My skills are not the greatest, but I think with practice I could be a lot better. The thing that makes this thing pretty fool proof is 1) getting your machine zig zag stitch just right, 2) […]
