I know. Just reflect on that for a moment. When I was reminded that I had made a blue and white Winding Ways quilt awhile back, I decided to see if I could dig it out of the flimsy bin. Well, bless my heart, it wasn't the only blue quilt waiting to be quilted in […]
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a splendid weekend. Now that summer has officially arrived, I am going to be doing a sew along with two friends, using the Quick Curve Ruler designed by Jenny Pedigo of Sew Kind of Wonderful. I hope you will check out Jenny's blog, where she has tutorials on how […]
I knew this red and white quilt block reminded me of something. A couple of years ago I made a blue and white quilt called Winding Ways that called for using a template and doing curved piecing. I really enjoyed making the quilt, and found the curved piecing not difficult at all. This red […]
The new red and white project I started last weekend has a very interesting tool that makes constructing the blocks quite easy. The toosl I am using are called the Tri Recs rulers, designed by Darlene Zimmerman and Joy Hoffman for EZ Tools. They are sold together as a set, and both shapes are required […]
The new project I started came from this hot-off-the-press American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. The pattern is called Give It Your Best Dot, for the fun polka dot fabric used in the sample quilt. I don't really care about all those polka dot fabrics, but I do love the block that is featured in the […]
Ok, enough of the pastels already. I can't stand another minute of their sweet overload. Give me some RED. Whew. That's better. More on this new project to come!
My sewing room is beginning to look like a Fig Tree workshop. The design walls are full of Figgy goodness at the moment. I have been plodding along with my Dresden Plate project, which at this point is all handwork. I pick up the blocks and hand applique the plates in place when I get […]
This is the second quilt I received back from my quilter, Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow, last week. I made it for a very special man in my life, and am so pleased with how it turned out. Mary's quilting is wonderful. She used a classic design called Baptist Fans, which I think perfectly sets […]
Oh my goodness, do I love my latest finished project. Whit, a Little Bites pattern, by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. You can click on the link and order this as a pdf pattern and have it instantly! This is what I have needed all those flying geese units for. I made the pattern larger, […]
I know I have posted on how to make flying geese in the past, but I continue to get requests from readers on what my favorite method is. Without a doubt, my favorite method is to make the flying geese units larger than necessary, and to use Monique Dillard's Fit to be Geese ruler to […]
