Several of my blogging friends have told me that "Drumbeat" has been published in the past couple of weeks, so I no longer am reserved about not showing my "Cupcake" version of the new Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company pattern. The piecing was quite simple–just quarter square triangles and nine patches. I had the most fun […]
I’d like to introduce you to my version of Cupcake, the Carrie Nelson Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company pattern Lisa and I were given when we took Carrie’s class at The Buggy Barn this August. Carrie’s version was blue where mine is brown. The pattern is not released yet, but my understanding is that when it […]
I opened a treasure chest today. Recently some of my blogging friends and I have been discussing a new Challenge we want to participate in together. I don’t want to spoil the fun by saying too much about it just yet, but I will say that I went out to my stash storage area to […]
Here you see a photo of the quilt that is currently on my bed. I just changed things out yesterday to have more of a fall feel to the decor. This is a Thimbleberries sampler quilt I made ages ago. I used a Thimbleberries pattern and all Thimbleberries fabrics. I am a bit over my […]
I recently got a couple of quilts back from my quilter and thought you might like to see the pretty all over quilt patterns they used. Here is my Retro Halloween Quilt (the back of it). Isn’t that fabric adorable? My quilt was quilted at Prairiequeens, my favorite quilt shop. I just love that place, […]
My UFO (Unfinished Objects) group meets three times each month. We have been meeting for years and have gotten to be such good friends. We just work on whatever projects we choose to bring to the meeting and spend as much time (or more) chit chatting than we do sewing. It is relaxing and fun […]
I am doing my Happy Dance because I finally finished the quilt top I call Jelly Bellies, after the pattern of the same name by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company. The pattern is an old one, but is still available. The fabrics I used were various prints from several Kansas Troubles groups (by […]
Thanks for indulging me in my reminiscing about my family’s annual Halloween party. It has been fun sharing pictures with you, and I will have more over the next week or so, but thought I should get a few more quilty posts out here. Despite my preoccupation with my new puppy, I actually have been […]
My mailbox had a fun little treat for me last week. I have to walk a block down my street to get to my mailbox, so sometimes, especially if I am out and about or otherwise occupied, I don’t check it every day. Imagine my delight when I finally went to unload its bulging contents […]
There you see the last stitch in my binding for my Fall Sunflowers quilt. I challenged Lisa to get one quilt bound by Sunday night, not so much to push her into finishing one, but to push myself! It is such a good feeling to put that last stitch in. I find any kind of […]
