Low Volume Neutral Quilt: A Scrappy Irish Chain

Posted on February 13, 2022February 16, 2022

I finished my last low volume neutral scrap quilt about a week ago. It used up most of my light 2.5″ squares. And then, I made the mistake of looking at the 2″ square box just full of neutrals. What to do with these I pondered? I remembered I had some 9 patches with darks…

I Love my Low Volume Quilt Top!

Posted on February 9, 2022February 12, 2022

As I mentioned in my last post I started a low volume quilt top. As I’m all about the bright colours that’s something different for me to attempt to make. I did include a bit of a colour pop as I couldn’t imagine the entire quilt being subdued. That’s just not me. I’m all about…

Done after all these years

Posted on January 7, 2022January 7, 2022

I started quilting around the turn of the millenium. My first finished quilt was this one: I completed it soon after I started it. My second quilt top was this sampler (the one and only sampler I’ve made) was finished in 2020. No need to rush a good thing right? A few baby quilts were…

What a Great Opportunity -Testing a Quilting Pattern!

Posted on July 8, 2021July 9, 2021

A friend posted that a blogger I know needed pattern testers to test out a quilting pattern. One look at Preeti’s (sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.com) sample and I was more than excited to put my hand up to test the pattern! This pattern, Novella, is too adorable for words for a cat lover like me. It was so…
