Oh Patti, what have you done? I can't stop thinking about your red and white Two Color Quilt. I couldn't copy you exactly, but I fiddled around in my stash and found a ton of blue and white Civil War reproduction fabrics. I know I wasn't going to start any new projects but…….
Stop what you are doing, don't pass "Go", and click on this link to Patti's blog Quilting is My Passion. http://www.quiltingisstillmypassion.blogspot.com/ Just look what she has done with her Two Color Quilt Challenge. Go tell her how amazing she is! Her quilt is awesome, inspiring, gorgeous, and meticulously executed. Oh my goodness. What a quilt. […]
I am determined to get some sewing done around here. Ozzie, who just yesterday indicated his willingness to help me in any way he can, has completely reneged on his promise. I swear, as God is my witness, this dog has gotten on my last nerve. First he got into my purse and stole my brand […]
Seriously, I should just come up with a new category called Unfinished Quilts. Or maybe I need to add a new side bar that is entitled Gallery Of Shame, and show pictures of all my unfinished projects. The Rigid Quilter has moved to my house from Florida, where she was previously living with Karen Dianne, […]
It sounds like a horse race doesn't it? My thoroughbred Posh Baskets is performing well now that I resolved the problem of the triangle pieces that are below the base of each basket. For some reason, when I was constructing the blocks, the seam allowance kept getting cut off and the basket bases had blunted […]
This quilt top took just over six hours to make. Seriously, you could do it in a weekend, with no great effort at all! The quilt is made with a jelly roll (I used two), so the cutting is just about done for you before you even get started. You do have to cut the […]
I hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying a beautiful Memorial Day. Wouldn't you know, after I got the notion last week to recover all the patio furniture cushions, we have had nothing but cool, overcast weather. There was even a hint that it could rain! So all my lovely new cushions are languishing […]
Yesterday while I was at the UFO with my friends, two exciting things happened. One, I finished the blocks for my Two Color Challenge! Here you see my finished Union Square blocks. Keep in mind, that the completed quilt top will have alternate blocks of the red and white toile and a border made up […]
As Ozzie may have mentioned, there has been a lot of sewing going on around here. As a matter of fact, I have barely had a minute when I wasn’t either sewing or cooking over the past four or five days. I will share some of my projects with you. My two color blocks are […]
Hello? Remember me? It’s Ozzie, your best pal. I am pretty sure you must have forgotten all about me. All you do lately is sit at this stupid sewing machine. Sew, sew, sew. Who cares about all this sewing? Not me. I don’t get it. Here I am, the most irresistable of all pets, and […]
