Hi there everyone. Have a good weekend? Me too. While I was puttering around in my sewing room, fondling all the lovely cream colored strips my swap partners have been sending me for the Red and White Snowball challenge, I had an idea. The swap strips are five inches wide, correct? The pattern calls for […]
I don't have anything particularly interesting to share with you all today. I had the afternoon off, but instead of using it productively, I shopped for the ingredients to make an Indian Chicken Curry, and puttered about in my sewing room. The mess you see in the picture above is the now borderless red and […]
Now, these blocks are not sewn together, just laid out on the design bed, but you can see how this top is coming together! Don't the blocks make a cool design when rotated the way they are? The pattern and fabric was a kit I bought from Bonnie Blue Quilts, a shop specializing in reproduction […]
My son discovered this quilt top in my sewing room and asked me why I hadn't had it quilted. "Too many quilt tops, too little money" was my answer. He said he would pay to have it quilted if he could give it to someone special in his life. How could I say no to […]
This is a good example of why it isn't a good idea to leave things until the last minute. My plan was to whip Cindy Lou Who together on Saturday when I had the whole day off. My nine patches were done, all I had to do was make the snowball stars. I laid the […]
I finished my Birdseye quilt top, that's what's going on! I haven't trimmed it yet, and I want to examine all the little block intersections to make sure they line up right, but all in all, FINI! This quilt is way big. I was going to add the perfect border fabric from the Sturbridge Harvest […]
My sister Andrea was given the old quilt pictured above. She has been blogging about her dilemma concerning this quilt on her blog Under A Blue Moon, and has asked me to post a picture of it and raise the questions that have been on her mind. You see, this quilt is in not such […]
Have you heard about the Red and White Snowball Challenge? Some of us are going to make a quilt from the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts, called "Leftovers Again?". It is the most perfect stash reduction quilt you ever saw. You can make it in one color (plus lights) or go wild […]
What do you think? Like the looks of this quilt? Me too. Would you like one of your own? Yup, me too. Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts took this picture while she was on a recent road trip through Utah. Of course she stopped at all the quilt shops, and this was one of many […]
getty images Hey, Quilters! Isn't this a fun image for fall? Does the season influence the fabrics you choose to work with? Have you ever made a fall leaf quilt? I have made a couple of them. My first effort was quite exciting for me. I made it 15 years ago or so, after a […]
