So many of us have struggled with how to use our William Morris fabrics. I know I have. As gorgeous as these fabrics are individually, somehow, to my eye anyway, they just didn't all work together nicely. I had two different William Morris collections, A Morris Garden and A Morris Workshop, with many many lovely […]
It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am about to release my inner PINK. We won't get to meet our little one until July, so I have plenty of time!
Obviously I have gotten a bit distracted from my Eventide project, with the baby quilts and so on. Monday before work I got myself in gear and made several of the Ohio Star blocks with the half square triangle corners. I think they will add a very nice scrappy element to the whole quilt. Here […]
I worked this weekend, but managed to squeeze in a bit of sewing time. I sewed my blocks together for the Central Park baby quilt, and am so pleased with the happy, light-hearted results. I left out the pink/purple colorway, but saved the blocks and scraps to make a baby girl themed quilt (if that […]
This little baby quilt is from the pattern Petit Fours by the fabulous Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs. I also used her fabric line Lily and Will, which I can never seem to get out of my mouth properly. Willy and Lil is what comes out for some reason. Anyway, I used the green […]
Isn't this fabric just the happiest thing you have ever seen? It is Central Park by Kate Spain for Moda. The pattern is Elsie and Paige, Sisters Forever by Carlene Westberg. Great pattern–you can get your fabric all cut out and all the blocks made in an afternoon. The pattern calls for charm squares and has […]
I had to work all weekend, and this is as far as I had gotten with my Eventide quilt as of last Friday. Thanks to the miracle of my new design wall, I have had three days to walk past it, sit and contemplate it, and generally let it sink in with me. And I am […]
Just a quick picture of my progress on Eventide. You sort of get the idea of where it is going. Hope to get lots more blocks made today, as Saturday and Sunday I have to work…. Have a great weekend everyone!
No, I have not completely lost my mind. I have been working diligently on my Eventide Ohio Star blocks. Seriously, I have. Really. The blocks in the photo above are not my Ohio Star blocks for Eventide. I was rummaging around in the dresser in my sewing room and rooted out these leftover "reject" blocks […]
Our Eventide quilts require 42 Ohio Star blocks, and in each Ohio Star block, there are four "Hour Glass" units. I have a couple of tips to share with you that might help make your hour glass units turn out nice and sharp. Each hour glass unit is comprised of three fabrics: two dark squares, […]
