Rows of Pink Quilt

Quilting and Piecing with Flannel is a Challenge

Posted on January 31, 2021January 31, 2021

The next time dear hubby sees material  on a giveaway table it better not be flannel, as quilting and piecing flannel is a challenge for me as I’ve now discovered. In October 2020, he talked the guild president into letting me have all the white and pink flannel scraps on the giveaway table. The flannel…

A very colorful bricks and strips quilt

Posted on January 23, 2021January 23, 2021

What else to do when you have a pile of bricks (2.5″  x 4.5″ squares) leftover from other projects other than make a colorful bricks and strips quilt? I  made a  zipper quilt last February as well as a Bonnie Hunter Star Struck quilt during the summer. Both projects used bricks. After making those quilts,…

Bearing Down in the Scrap Box

Posted on January 17, 2021January 21, 2021

I swear the scraps are knee deep around here. I keep making scrap quilts but the pile of scraps never seems to go down in my scrap boxes. Not sure quite what I would do if I had no scraps – as scrap quilting is my favourite! But still, everywhere scraps.  Back before Christmas I…

Scrap Quilts make me Happy

Posted on January 14, 2021January 14, 2021

What can I say other than scrap quilts make me happy! This one is no exception!  Here it is all finished: I started this quilt back in April 2020  when I saw the quilt on Ramona’s blog Doodlebugs and Rosebuds Quilts. That seems a lifetime ago now.   I quickly sewed the top using 2″ rather…

scrappy beige nine patch quilt

Add color to beige and it’s not so bad.

Posted on January 5, 2021January 5, 2021

After I made the Brown Quilt Cinnamon Bars  (Thanks to Preeti at Sew Preeti Quilts for the great name) I still had lots of a solid beige material left. As it was near Christmas I wanted something easy to sew with that fabric. I just needed to figure out how to add color so that I’d enjoy making a…

the ugly quilt finished

The Ugly Quilt: A Good Lesson in Perseverance.

Posted on January 3, 2021January 3, 2021

I love scrappy but when I finished the top for this quilt, I hated it and it got tagged as the ugly quilt.

2021 Quilting Project List

Posted on January 1, 2021January 1, 2021

At the beginning of 2020 I had 38 quilt projects unfinished, and I finished 21 of those during the year! I feel really good about that accomplishment. But I also started 42 new projects during 2021. Of those I finished 24 and one was tossed as it was barely started and I hated it. One…

brown and beige quilt

Trying to make a dent in the stash

Posted on December 28, 2020January 5, 2021

Brown and beige are two colors I rarely work with as they aren’t colors I particularly like.  However, my stash seems to have an overabundance of both those colors.  As far as I can tell that happened because I was in a fat quarter bundle of the month club and because when I see deals…

there is something fishy about this quilt

There is something fishy about this quilt

Posted on November 29, 2020November 29, 2020

My coworker’s daughter is having a baby in February.  When I asked about the nursery theme I was told it would be sea theme.  Perfect I thought. There is some fish fabric in the stash. Time to make a baby quilt! Off to Google and Pinterest I went to get ideas.  I had made this…

modern star baby quilt

A modern baby quilt with high contrast colors

Posted on November 27, 2020January 21, 2021

I contacted some friends about making a quilt for their new arrival to be. The baby, due to arrive early in the new year is likely a girl but they aren’t 100% sure. The nursey is being decorated in a space theme with the main colours being black, white and grey.  This, to me calls…
