More Practice Free Motion Quilting

Posted on

I have been practicing my free motion quilting on some of my smaller quilt tops. Going from quilting with the walking foot to quilting with a closed toe free motion foot was a big step for me. It’s step that I ready for but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a scary step.  I’ve been on…

I was off work last week on vacation and wasn’t in the mood to finish quilts. So,  I indulged myself by making 2-patches with 2.5″ blocks and sewing them to 4.5″ x 2.5″ rectangles. It was lovely easy zen sewing! Rather than use a white or black background I decided to use a very soft…

Star Struck quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter

Twinkling Stars

Posted on

I started another Bonnie Hunter Star Struck quilt last year in black and brights. This one I’m calling Twinkling Stars. Like so many of my projects I never got that far with it last year. So unsurprisingly it ended up on my UFO list this year. I got the top together at some point in…
