Gathering Quilt

Posted on

I have been doing a lot of sewing this weekend – what else is there to do really? Housework? Well, I guess …  but quilting always wins over that if I have anything to say about it. I have enough of my  Step Blocks (I decided to name them) to make both quilt layouts that…

Stress quilting

The last few weeks have been stressful,  so I’ve been stress quilting.

Another quilt top made from the Easy Peasy Quilts 3- Yard Quilts booklet borrowed from the guild library. I have to say while I’m liking the look of the patterns I’m finding them technically not as much to my liking as I’d hoped they would be. They assume a full 42″ of usable fabric, which…

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.
