Here is my first block made from the Fig Tree pattern "Kiss Me". Isn't it sweet? I am making my quilt from various Fig Tree corally reds. The fabric above is from Patisserie, but most of the reds I will use are from last summer's Strawberry Fields collection. I found my fabrics late in the […]
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of your ironing board? Good grief, I never had such a struggle. It is surprisingly difficult to make those things look good. You have to get way back to get the whole thing in the photo and then all sorts of other ugly things […]
I worked on my Doc Schnibbles this weekend as well, and can't wait to finish it up and get it on my table. You may notice that I have made a smaller version than the pattern, using only four squares. What I found out after getting the four blocks and lattices together is that the […]
Back on track this week with the BOM Rehab, I am happy to say! I finished Block Eleven of the Peace on Earth Designer Mystery BOM over the weekend. That project is definitely coming together and all that will remain will be the lattice, which involves a star pattern and is awfully pretty. I've been […]
This could be a wordless post, but of course I can't resist the opportunity to use words when I have the occasion. I just do not know what happened to me over the past two months. My asthma was acting up this winter, and I lost about 10 pounds. Bad about the asthma, hallelujah about […]
I have a new pattern I am hoping to use someday soon. It is called "Kiss Me" by Fig Tree and Co. I love the use of scrappy reds at any time, and this quilt fits the bill. It is made with fabrics from the Fig Tree Strawberry Fields collection, which I have been on […]
A big hug and kiss to Cheryl at Fig Tree Studio for her excellent advice as to what Moda Solid would be best as a coordinate for Fig Tree fabrics. The cream Fig Tree uses is quite distinctive, as it is almost a pale yellow. You can see how great it goes with the Fig […]
This week is just getting away from me already and it barely started! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. I did! I missed the BOM Rehab Monday post yesterday. So sorry!! Maybe I can get two blocks made this week for next time. My son in law opened up his new wine tasting […]
I've been so crafty this week! These are sixteen mug rugs I made for my son in law's new wine tasting room. Not to be used by the guests, but to be sold in sets of four. I plan to make lots more, and may do some sets of Drunkard's Path. Which would either be […]
There is nothing more effective for making you realize how tense you are than machine quilting. I got a notion to practice my machine quilting this week, and it was quite an eye opener. I had two pieces of wonky strips I had stitched together awhile back, and thought they would make cute table runners. […]
