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…

Small Dog Quilt

CT byHere is my first finish for 2020! The dog themed blocks were from a small bag of material found at Value Village a second hand store and the solid blocks were from fat quarters that were in my stash. It will be donated to the guild’s outreach program in February.

Funky Churn Dash Quilt Finished

Posted on

I’m happy, I finished binding my churn dash quilt yesterday! I love how funky it looks. That background fabric really makes it. I really wish I hadn’t run out of that material but at least I had just enough of it to make some sashing to avoid having to deal with points matching and seams…

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…

Doll Quilts

Posted on

A few years back I made a couple of doll quilts for friends who collect dolls. The doll quilts were made of poly cotton therefore if you are the quilt police and disapprove of anything but 100% cotton quilts I’m afraid this post will upset you. I don’t like to mix fibre types in a…

Blue Sawtooth Stars

Posted on

Quite a number of years ago, how many I’m not sure, I decided I’d make 9 – 8.5″ blue sawtooth star blocks. I don’t recall making them or having a plan for them. Not surprisingly they’ve floated around the sewing room for years.  As part of my “get old projects done” push I pulled them…

One of my big goals this year is getting old projects finished. I’ve had some new starts this year (of course!) but so far I’ve managed to complete 17 projects were started prior to 2019. I’m very pleased with that and hope to get a few more done before the end of the year! This…

square quilt layout with sawtooth stars and uneven 9 patches

Stars in the Darkening Sky

Posted on

A month or two ago I made  16 patch blocks using 2 inch squares when I should have been using 2.5″ squares of fabric. I made a lot of blocks before I realised I had made an error.  Not a world ending problem at all though some rather pithy language did occur at the time. …

Medallion Quilt Project

Posted on

One of the guild projects at my guild this year is to have members make a medallion quilt. I have to admit when I heard this at first I groaned. Medallion quilts don’t do it for me for one and for another I wasn’t sure I wanted different people working on quilt for me with…
