That would be Red Pineapple, my homage to French General fabrics, their reds in particular. It seems that there are a lot of folks working on Pineapple quilts lately! I shamelessly copied Cathy (Quilting on Main Street), her colors and her method. Thelma has been working on a foundation pieced version of her own, but […]
I loved making these blocks. They are my favorite in the series so far! I think they came out quite different from each other, which was my plan. This project is coming together in a way that is making me super happy, and exceeding my expectations. I knew I was in for a treat, as […]
Hello beautiful. This is Hat Trick, a Schnibbles pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, and the Schnibbles of the Month chosen by Sherri and Sinta for the Another Year of Schnibbles Program. I loved making this little table topper in the summery fabrics called Noteworthy, designed by Sweetwater for Moda. The fabrics […]
Oh yeah. That's me all right. Spring is here. Whoopee. I know I was extolling the virtues of this glorious season in a recent post, but there is one big draw back all right. How many times can you sneeze in a row and not have your heart stop? Well, at least 10, I can […]
I have been experimenting a bit with some alternate ideas for my setting squares for the Blogger Girls BOM. Here is a little peek at what I am thinking of doing. Not so many Square in a Square blocks, and more of a chain design. I am also thinking of doing a diagonal set rather […]
I've been buying a few outside/active play toys for Eva to use this summer when she is at my house. This is one of them, a Little Tykes basket ball hoop. She loves it and got to put one ball through the basket. Then Ozzie got the ball away from her and now it looks […]
It seems as if these baskets are multiplying. There are certainly too many to be on the design wall all together. I have to sew rows in sections, then drape them over the furniture in the studio until I can sew the sections together. That is the middle section you see there on the table […]
Pretty neat, huh? This is a new idea for wine coasters that I found on this tutorial. I have been making mug rugs to sell at my son in law's tasting room, but lately they haven't been selling all that well. They are rather labor intensive, and I am thoroughly sick of making them. These […]
Gorgeous weather here, and I am trying to surround myself with as many pretty blossoms as I can. I ran out to the garden center (part of my local Ace Hardware store) when they opened at 7:00 AM today, and picked up a trunk full of blossoms. These are only petunias, as we don't get […]
This past weekend, on my full day of sewing, I was able to start and finish the Schnibbles project for this month! Hat Trick by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. I will show you the full top on the last day of the month when everyone does their reveal. Maybe with luck, by then I will […]
