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 […]
Quick update on my progress with the flying geese–it's going well. All geese are made, and only 28 more need to be trimmed. Hopefully today I can get my little Dutchman's Puzzle blocks together. What a fun project this is: Whit, a Little Bites pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. And just for fun….Look what […]
I am doing a different kind of post today and hope you might enjoy it. From time to time I like to do a post on beauty, fashion or decorating, and some of you have told me you think it's fun. If that isn't your cup of tea, I am giving you fair warning to […]
I am up to my eyeballs in geese. Flying Geese that is. I have eight more to make and I will be finished with construction, but as you see, my little pile needs to be trimmed. Ha! I am tempted to take them to work with me today, along with my tiny cutting mat and […]
Just look at that beautiful quilting! It was done by Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow. She is just the best,and I could not be happier. In fact, I love it so much I am using a cropped photo of it as my summer blog banner. The pattern is called Paganini by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. […]
So, now that Trace is all quilted and on my kitchen counter, what could I do, but start another Little Bites. The one I selected to make is Whit (by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.), and I chose the design that features the Dutchman's Puzzle blocks. I happened to have on hand (due to my recent […]
Trace, a Little Bites pattern by Miss Rosies' Quilt Company. I used High Street, a fabric collection by Lily Ashbury for Moda. It went together fast, and I love the bright cheerful colors for summer. The quilt measures about 22 1/2" square. I am probably sewing the binding on it as you read this! I […]
