Orange and Blue

Posted on August 28, 2020October 23, 2020

I finally found a border fabric for my orange and blue quit. This quilt is a downsized version of Bonnie Hunter’s Fourth of July quilt. I have been looking for either a blue fabric with an orange print or vice versa. I finally found an orange print with blue stars that are close in colour…

The Gathering Quilt is Finished

Posted on July 26, 2020October 23, 2020

I started making my steps blocks in March when COVID was rampant here. I needed something to keep myself busy that didn’t require too much thought and these blocks were perfect. The first quilt I made from these can be seen here  That quilt went together very nicely and was fun to finish. The second…

Happy Laundry

Posted on June 11, 2020June 11, 2020

The three quilts on the right are recent finishes that needed to be washed as I’d used basting spray when making the quilt sandwich. The quilt on the far left has been in regular use and it was time for it to get a wash. And why put quilts in the dryer when you can…

Steps Quilt – A finish!

Posted on June 6, 2020October 21, 2020

I got up today thinking I’d make a backing for quilt and layer it as well as make some happy blocks. So I headed into my sewing room and decided I’ll make the back and layer the quilt  before I started the fun and easy happy block sewing. So I made the backing (I had…

It’s been a busy Saturday

Posted on May 30, 2020June 11, 2020

I was able to sew today and I took full advantage of it. I had started some place mats this week inspired by this pattern that I found while surfing Pinterest.  That pattern inspired me to make these: They’ve already been utilized in the living room. Two place mats are on our side tables and…

Hugs & haitches

Posted on April 23, 2020June 11, 2020

I had scheduled today and tomorrow off quite some time ago for a quilt retreat, that of course, given the current situation with COVID-19 has been cancelled, and rightly so. So instead of quilting with friends I’m taking today and the next three days to quilt.  I’m not as focused today as I had hoped…

My Saturday Sew-In

Posted on April 5, 2020June 11, 2020

I participated in the 3rd Saturday Sew-In with Jennifer at the Inquiring Quilter  yesterday. She held it on her Facebook group and it was lots of fun to sew knowing others were sewing along on their projects at the same time as me!  For some reason I had no place to be yesterday other than…

Steps Quilt Top Complete

Posted on April 1, 2020June 11, 2020

My Steps Quilt top is complete! I’m really liking this.  A perfect sewing project in a stressful time, easy, repetitive and colourful! All I worried  about while sewing it was trying not to have two of the same colour touch each other and while I managed for the most part there are 3 or 4…

Gathering Quilt

Posted on March 29, 2020June 11, 2020

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

Posted on March 27, 2020October 22, 2020

The last few weeks have been stressful,  so I’ve been stress quilting. What with being home 24/7, worrying about family, friends,  community,  country and indeed the world why worry on a small scale when you can go big, right? Luckily my husband and I are both able to work from homeand so far haven’t been…
