So happy with my elegant Easter tablescape! I finished Joy Luck (pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company), made from the beautiful Little Black Dress fabric collection by Basic Grey for Moda. I quilted it with the wiggle stitch on my Bernina, and am pleased as can be with the results. I had […]
A.B.D. All But Done. Not quite finished with my Little Black Dress/Joy Luck table runner. I got most of it quilted yesterday, all except two borders. I really do love that little wiggle stitch. My mission today is to finish that up, get the binding on and maybe make a little tablescape on the dining […]
I just can't help it. With Another Year of Schnibbles on hiatus, I am really missing the nudge from Sinta and Sherri to make another Schnibbles table topper. Besides, I need small projects on which to keep practicing my machine quilting so I don't get rusty. I have a feeling machine quilting is not like […]
These are my two blocks for month three of the Blogger Girls BOM Sew Along. Such easy blocks to make, as I indicated in a previous post where I showed how to use the Fit to be Quarter and the Fit to be Quarter Companion rulers. You get such lovely accurate results with these tools. […]
I got the rows of Message in a Bottle all connected and got it off the design wall. I will show you a picture of that once I get the borders on. When you take a project down from your design wall, does it drive you crazy that there are a gazillion little threads […]
A free day equals lots of sewing time, and I made the most of it. What you see in the photo above are 90 Long Road Home blocks. Nine stacks of ten blocks each. This quilt is a diagonal set, and I plan to get it on the design wall some time today. I need […]
I tried. I really tried. Sewing with a toddler under foot just isn't easy. I brought out the Janome, and trotted my Long Road Home project box up from the studio. My plan was to sew in the kitchen while I watched Eva play. She just wanted to climb up on my lap whenever I […]
I feel as if I am drowning in strips for my pineapple blocks! I did get the lights all cut out and organized into labeled baggies over the weekend. After cutting for hours, I still do not have enough French General reds. I ordered 13 more fat quarters and that is just going to have […]
This must be my week to try out new rulers. It all started with Cathy over at Quilting on Main Street. Cathy just finished a gorgeous quilt she calls Rendevous, which is a Pineapple Block quilt. She did hers all in French General reds, with glorious results. Go have a look at her quilt, so […]
I took advantage of some free time over the weekend to work on my Blogger Girls BOM blocks for February. The instructions for this block called for a couple of specialty rulers that I am excited about. These rulers were given to me by the inventor, Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts, I know that […]
