Bearing Down in the Scrap Box

Posted on January 17, 2021January 17, 2021

I swear the scraps are knee deep around here. I keep making scrap quilts but the pile of scraps never seems to go down in my scrap boxes. Not sure quite what I would do if I had no scraps – as scrap quilting is my favourite! But still, everywhere scraps.  Back before Christmas I…

Scrap Quilts make me Happy

Posted on January 14, 2021January 14, 2021

What can I say other than scrap quilts make me happy! This one is no exception!  Here it is all finished: I started this quilt back in April 2020  when I saw the quilt on Ramona’s blog Doodlebugs and Rosebuds Quilts. That seems a lifetime ago now.   I quickly sewed the top using 2″ rather…

I think these are so cute – fish shaped bag

Posted on January 10, 2021January 11, 2021

Late last year,  I made a fish themed quilt before Christmas for a coworker’s daughter who is expecting a baby in February.  They were going with an aquatic theme for the nursery and I thought this would fit right in: While surfing for ideas for this quilt, I ran across a pattern by Cloud 9…

scrappy beige nine patch quilt

Add color to beige and it’s not so bad.

Posted on January 5, 2021January 5, 2021

After I made the Brown Quilt Cinnamon Bars  (Thanks to Preeti at Sew Preeti Quilts for the great name) I still had lots of a solid beige material left. As it was near Christmas I wanted something easy to sew with that fabric. I just needed to figure out how to add color so that I’d enjoy making a…

The Ugly Quilt: A Good Lesson in Perseverance.

I love scrappy but when I finished the top for this quilt, I hated it and it got tagged as the ugly quilt.

2021 Quilting Project List

Posted on January 1, 2021January 1, 2021

At the beginning of 2020 I had 38 quilt projects unfinished, and I finished 21 of those during the year! I feel really good about that accomplishment. But I also started 42 new projects during 2021. Of those I finished 24 and one was tossed as it was barely started and I hated it. One…

brown and beige quilt

Trying to make a dent in the stash

Posted on December 28, 2020January 5, 2021

Brown and beige are two colors I rarely work with as they aren’t colors I particularly like.  However, my stash seems to have an overabundance of both those colors.  As far as I can tell that happened because I was in a fat quarter bundle of the month club and because when I see deals…

there is something fishy about this quilt

There is something fishy about this quilt

Posted on November 29, 2020November 29, 2020

My coworker’s daughter is having a baby in February.  When I asked about the nursery theme I was told it would be sea theme.  Perfect I thought. There is some fish fabric in the stash. Time to make a baby quilt! Off to Google and Pinterest I went to get ideas.  I had made this…

modern star baby quilt

A modern baby quilt with high contrast colors

Posted on November 27, 2020January 17, 2021

I contacted some friends about making a quilt for their new arrival to be. The baby, due to arrive early in the new year is likely a girl but they aren’t 100% sure. The nursey is being decorated in a space theme with the main colours being black, white and grey.  This, to me calls…
