Stress quilting

Posted on

The last few weeks have been stressful,  so I’ve been stress quilting. What with being home 24/7, worrying about family, friends,  community,  country and indeed the world why worry on a small scale when you can go big, right? Luckily my husband and I are both able to work from homeand so far haven’t been…

Two finished Quilts

Posted on

I finished two quilts yesterday! One with machine binding on both the front and back and one sewing the binding to the front of the quilt and hand sewing it to the back of the quilt. This DOUBLES my UFO finishes from 2 to 4 for the year (plus one non UFO finish)! Not very…

Anne with an E TV Series Baby Quilt Top

Posted on

We found out about an online auction two weeks ago. The auction was for a TV series called Anne with an E  based on the 1901 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery called Anne of Green Gables. I read the book growing up and it’s many sequels grown up and absolutely loved it. So when I…

Posting about this, this morning, to motive myself to quilt this top today: It’s mostly sitting down and getting it done. It isn’t a big project.

Another quilt top made from the Easy Peasy Quilts 3- Yard Quilts booklet borrowed from the guild library. I have to say while I’m liking the look of the patterns I’m finding them technically not as much to my liking as I’d hoped they would be. They assume a full 42″ of usable fabric, which…

3 yard quilt top Easy Street

Making this quilt top from the Easy Peasy 3- Yard Quilts book was a fun one day project. The only thing I’m doing differently from the pattern is that I won’t be doing single fold binding.  Double fold binding is my preference to finish a quilt. As I have more than a yard of the…

Stars in the Darkening Sky – Finished

Posted on

At long last Stars in the Darkening Sky is a finish. We quilted it at Whirls n Swirls and used a wool batting. I finished it off with a scrappy binding and even managed to find some of the fabric from the star points to use for this!  This is my second UFO finish for…
