Can we just take a minute and admire the quilting on this little 26" square piece? The quilt is Summer Breeze by Carried Away. I do not know the name of the swirly quilting design, but it could not be a more perfect choice. My plan is to use this in my kitchen during spring […]
I am quite tickled with how this little table topper turned out. I used every smidgen of the Lucky Charms leftovers from the Don't Fence Me In rail fence quilt top. Which I still don't have sewn together. Quilting this project myself is not in the cards, so I will be sending this out to […]
Eva had no school yesterday due to it being declared a "Snow Day". Many people who live at a higher elevation from us got tons of snow and were not able to get out of their driveways or get through the icy/snowy roads, so school was canceled. If the teachers and kids can't get there […]
"Don't Fence Me In", a pattern by Carrie Nelson/Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Fabric is Lucky Charms by Andover Fabrics. I finished my 81 blocks! These blocks are so fast and easy and I highly recommend this block for a scrappy quilt in just about any colorway. I hope to sew all the blocks together this […]
This is "Simplicity", Sewcialites Block 17, designed by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. That is her photo above of the two blocks she made using her gorgeous Love Note fabrics. I didn't think this block would work in the style of quilt I am planning, so I decided to skip it. I was going to […]
I spent much of the day yesterday waiting for promised snow (that never arrived) and sewing blocks for the Don't Fence Me In quilt. These blocks are fun, and I enjoy making them. I am afraid I am going to run out of light fabric though. I have to think this through and see if […]
I let myself fall behind in the Sewcialites sew along and played catch up this past Saturday. Blocks 14 and 15 were the easiest ever, but 16 took some time. I am happy with how it turned out in spite of all the pieces and points to match up. Surprisingly, it was the easier block, […]
My sewing was a bit derailed last week, but I am making some progress on my Don't Fence Me In blocks. This is a really fun block to make and you can make a nice little stack of them in no time flat. I've been working assembly style, making the rail fence units first, then […]
What's on your bed this February? It has been cold and not particularly spring-like here where I live, and I have been craving some brighter and more cheerful colors. This is the Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery quilt for 2011. The fabrics are various Fig Tree prints with a strawberry theme. What caused me to […]
I thought I'd share a few things with you that I have been enjoying lately. These current favorites have nothing to do with quilting, just so you know. They are mostly beauty products or clothing items that have been making me feel more put together. I have been living in these Everyday Relaxed Jeans by […]
