Yes, finished at last. I had a little hiccup in the final moments of this quilt when I discovered the fabric I had planned to use for the outer border had faded. I found something else that works well, but had to order it online. Then I went on vacation. I cannot wait for this […]
Here we go girls. Block Number Two of the Blogger Girls BOM. Ooops. I had this set to post March 1. That would just be a month late, don't you know? This was a fun one to make. I continue to enjoy my springy Audra's Iris Garden fabric by Brannock and Patek for Moda. I […]
Aw gee. I feel like Sophie's Choice here. How can I pick my favorite? Sherri and Sinta's challenge for January is to post a photo of our favorite Schnibbles. I am quite partial to Bennington, made with a fun collection by Sandy Gervais. It definitely was my favorite Fall Schnibbles. I also like the quilting […]
You didn't even know I had started this one, did you? I made it in just a couple of hours. Amazing, isn't it? I could start my own Quilt In A Day show. Want to know my secret? The entire quilt center is about the size of a piece of printer paper. Did I fool […]
I went gangbusters on my Message in a Bottle blocks while I was on my quilting retreat. I finished the 42 pinwheel blocks before I left and finished up the 56 square in a square blocks while vacationing. Then they all had to be trimmed. Soon as I got home, I set up camp on […]
Seriously? Yes, this is the back of a quilt. The quilter used different colors of bobbin thread to be sure that a fabulous design was created on the back of the quilt as well as on the front. Incredible, isn't it? Last week I went on a little quilting retreat with friends, and stayed in […]
Just a quick little note to let you know I am alive and well. Just back from a quilting retreat with some dear friends. The photo above is one I took on one of our outings. Maybe you can guess where I was? I will have to tell you about it in another post though. […]
I am making real progress this week with my Message in a Bottle blocks. I have completed the square in a square blocks (56), the pinwheel blocks (42), and the pieced setting triangles (26). Soon, I will be putting these up on the design wall and sewing my rows together! This pattern is highly recommended […]
I made a couple of little bags last week. For me! The one above is perfect for face creams and make up, or perhaps all your makeup brushes. I know when I travel, I prefer to keep my brushes separate from everything else. Hmmm, I believe I should make one more… On the blog In […]
Typepad seems to be having issues. You may not be able to leave comments. Thanks for stopping by anyway!
