More Practice Free Motion Quilting

Posted on October 4, 2020October 22, 2020

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…

Floral Fabrics Seem to Work Better in a Group

Posted on September 13, 2020October 22, 2020

Or does floral fabric work better in a group? My alternate title for this post was “Floral Fright or Floral Fantasy?” In sorting through my box of 2 1/2 inch strips at the end of my last project I noticed that the box was muffin topped. There were also a good number of strips of…

Leaders and Enders are not for me.

Posted on September 2, 2020October 22, 2020

I adore the idea of leaders and enders. Make progress on a second scrap quilt while you are working on your main project – what could be better than that? After all what is better than two for the price of one? I will happily suggest to anyone who asks that they should try doing…

Orange and Blue

Posted on August 28, 2020October 23, 2020

I finally found a border fabric for my orange and blue quit. This quilt is a downsized version of Bonnie Hunter’s Fourth of July quilt. I have been looking for either a blue fabric with an orange print or vice versa. I finally found an orange print with blue stars that are close in colour…

Star Struck quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter

Twinkling Stars

Posted on August 9, 2020October 21, 2020

I started another Bonnie Hunter Star Struck quilt last year again in black and brights. 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 the spring and I’d been…

It’s been a busy Saturday

Posted on May 30, 2020June 11, 2020

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 May 24, 2020June 11, 2020

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…

May has started and it’s time to update my UFO and new projects list. I’m up to 7 UFO’s done and 1 quilt completed that was started this year. May’s goal is: Bind and complete two small quilts Sew the individual Frolic blocks (this one might be tough, they are slow going and finicky) Put…

Hugs & haitches

Posted on April 23, 2020June 11, 2020

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 April 5, 2020June 11, 2020

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…
