Isn't she gorgeous? This is Madeline, all grown up. All 25 blocks of her. I am so pleased with this quilt top! It ranks right up there with my all time favorites. And it may be number one in terms of color combination. I think there will be a narrow light containment border, then an […]
Now this is a novel concept. Not sure if it would work for me so much, but interesting idea. There have just been too many men in my house this week. The place is teaming with testosterone. The men are very nice, but they are just so, so, masculine. They joke around, laugh loudly, bang […]
At least my flying geese units for Big Madeline are finished. Next step will be to construct the 25 Sawtooth Star blocks I need for the top. My plan is to work on those when the hardwood floor men are here this week. That is going to be a great quilt! Sophie is still in the […]
The tile men came to re-do the master bath floors. They put down new concrete to even things out and left for lunch. Sophie got away from me and before I could catch her, she ran through all the wet concrete. She ruined their beautiful smooth work. Why do I have dogs? Does anyone […]
Cough, cough, ack, ack. My goodness, these men are creating a lot of dust! Take two men with jack hammer like tools and let them at my tile master bathroom floor, and the air is swirling with dust. Woo. Hope the worst of it is over. Today they lay the new tile. In other news, […]
Here is my poor living room, almost empty. We are preparing to have the floors redone and had to move all the furniture out. My gosh, that room is as big as a barn without any furniture. So where's the furniture? Why stacked up in the garage, naturally. See those boxes in the foreground? They […]
Wow, there was so much interest yesterday in the information on how to expand the size of the Schnibbles Madeline block! If you would like instruction from the quilt designer herself, the fabulous Miss Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co., go to her website, where she has provided the information on expanding a block by adding setting […]
I love this pattern. (Madeline, a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.). I love this fabric. (Rounenneries by French General for Moda). I want to make this quilt, but I do not want a Schinbbles size quilt. I want a BIG quilt. Well, at least 70 inches or so square. But I don't want […]
Just so you know, I am not All Moda All the Time. I am All Moda Pretty Much of the Time, but do collect fabric from other manufacturers as well. The collection shown above is The Birds and the Bees by Keri Beyer for In the Beginning. This is such a fresh and energetic group […]
This week I want to show you some new fabric that has come into my life recently. The group pictured above is Rural Jardin, the new collection by French General for Moda. A generous benefactress, who pays me in fabric, sent it to me last week! Does it get any better than this? Will Work […]
