Highlight Your Fabric Quilt – Construction Notes

Posted on February 29, 2020June 11, 2020

This quilt really highlights a focus fabric nicely. And in my case, helps use up some fabrics I found at a local thrift shop in a way that looks nicely coordinated. I was wasting time looking for inspiration on Pinterest a while ago and saw a picture of this quilt which I liked enough to…

Random and my Zipper Quilt Top

Posted on February 22, 2020June 11, 2020

I wanted to sew something bright and cheerful and straight forward. So I found a bright fat quarter from my stash that I am almost certain I picked up from the guild’s scrap box. Then I searched my scraps and stash for the colours in the print on that fat quarter. I found pretty good…

Suite Times

Posted on February 15, 2020January 11, 2021

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…

Easy Street

Posted on February 11, 2020January 23, 2021

Making this quilt top from the Easy Peasy 3- Yard Quilts book was a fun one day project. The only thing I’m doing differently from the pattern is that I won’t be doing single fold binding. Double fold binding is my preference to finish a quilt. As I have more than a yard of the…

Stars in the Darkening Sky – Finished

Posted on February 10, 2020June 11, 2020

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

Posted on January 22, 2020June 11, 2020

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.

2020 UFO List

Posted on December 30, 2019December 30, 2019

As my 2019 sewing year comes to a close it’s time admit to the list of projects that are entering 2020 with me. This year (2019) I finished 24 projects on my UFO list and I’ve removed one project because I can’t find it . Over 100 yards of fabric were used in these quilts….

Funky Churn Dash Quilt Finished

Posted on December 11, 2019June 11, 2020

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 December 1, 2019June 11, 2020

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…

Starstruck is a Finish!

Posted on November 17, 2019June 11, 2020

I’m happy that my Starstruck quilt is finally finished! About time! This one is going on the wall in my sewing room! I just love how the colours glow against the black background! There isn’t a lot of wall space in the room as I have shelves up so I’m hoping this will just…
