This pattern is Victory Star, one put out by Paula Barnes of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts). I have been thinking about Paula lately, as she recently lost her husband under quite tragic circumstances. Paula is a lovely lady, and I had the privilege of taking a class with her once, and Victory […]
That would be All But Binding. It is hanging on the back of the Waiting for Bindings Chair. I'll get it done by the deadline! My red and white Gentle Arts spools block quilt (not bowties) by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., is the May choice in the Vintage Schnibble of the Month program hosted by […]
I am sighing a big sigh of relief to have gotten three quilts finished this past weekend. These are going to be wonderful additions to my quilt collection, and I have no excuse for dragging things out so long. Get them done, get them quilted, and get them on the beds! The quilt in the […]
I had three big finishes this weekend. I will share one today, and the other two tomorrow. For some reason, I stall when it comes to getting the borders on my quilts. I have a big push to get my blocks sewn together, and then completely lose steam (and interest) in seeing things through to […]
I am coming along with my Gentle Arts spools blocks. Still waiting for the baby monitor to arrive, so my sewing is happening on the kitchen table with Eva trying to help me out. They come together really fast, so I will finish them in no time. Most readers have referred to this block as […]
I have been a pretty loyal Rowenta customer for years. I go through irons really fast, due to keeping them on for hours at a time, and steaming the dickens out of things. A good iron lasts me a year, maybe two, and then I need to replace it. My last Rowenta, gosh, I bet […]
My intention was to get this finished for Sara and give it to her for her birthday Sunday, but as you can plainly see, I failed to accomplish that goal. Several things went wrong. Mainly, I discovered that I had made seven of the blocks with a pure white fabric. The other thirteen blocks appear […]
I totally channeled the Pioneer Woman this weekend. Mother's Day and Sara's birthday fell on the same day, so we did a dual celebration. I have both of Ree Drummond's cookbooks, and have had pretty good success with her recipes. The celebration dinner was at my house, so I elected to make Ree's recipe for […]
Remember these? I had so much fun playing around with the red and pinks in the first "PamkittyMorning" collection designed by Pam Vieria-McGinnis and Holly Holderman for Lakehouse fabrics. There were dozens of prints in the line, and at least five or six different colorways. If you liked yellows and greens, you were all set. […]
This weekend I worked on a little of this and a little of that. I couldn't seem to figure out just what I wanted to do. I am excited to make more pineapple blocks, so I started six more. My alternate blocks for the Blogger Girls BOM are on my mind, so I worked on […]
