It’s been a busy Saturday

Posted on

I was able to sew today and I took full advantage of it. I had started some place mats this week inspired by this pattern that I found while surfing Pinterest.  That pattern inspired me to make these: They’ve already been utilized in the living room. Two place mats are on our side tables and…

A Few Finished Projects

Posted on

I’ve been working on some smaller projects this last week. Here is a small mat made from a mini charm pack. I have no idea what the fabric line is but I’m very happy I had some coordinating material in my stash to bind it. It’s now on my nightstand replacing a very ugly mat…

Hugs & haitches

Posted on

I had scheduled today and tomorrow off quite some time ago for a quilt retreat, that of course, given the current situation with COVID-19 has been cancelled, and rightly so. So instead of quilting with friends I’m taking today and the next three days to quilt.  I’m not as focused today as I had hoped…

My Saturday Sew-In

Posted on

I participated in the 3rd Saturday Sew-In with Jennifer at the Inquiring Quilter  yesterday. She held it on her Facebook group and it was lots of fun to sew knowing others were sewing along on their projects at the same time as me!  For some reason I had no place to be yesterday other than…

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…

Baby Sized Idaho Square Dance Quilt

Posted on

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. This top is made from 9 of Bonnie Hunter’s Idaho Square Dance blocks leftover from making this quilt (somehow I had made an extra row!?!?): A little bit of…

UFO List December 1st 2019

Posted on

Here are the UFO’s on my list that are still to be completed as at the beginning of December 2019. Since July I have made not too much progress,  however, I must brag that I did finish 16 UFO’s in the first half of this year.  UFOs do not include any projects started in 2019…

Starstruck is a Finish!

Posted on

I’m happy that my Starstruck quilt is finally finished! About time!   This one is going on the wall in my sewing room! I just love how the colours glow against the black background! There isn’t a lot of wall space in the room as I have shelves up so I’m hoping this will just…

En Provence Quilted

Posted on

We finally quilted En Provence the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt from 2016/2017 this May. I made the quilt in Bonnie’s colourway and am quite pleased with how it turned out. How can I not be when purple is my favourite colour? Marc helped me quilt it on the long arm quilting machines that Whirls and…
