Success and a Bonus Baby Quilt

Posted on

My not so successful leader and ender quilt (in that I binge sewed it and didn’t do it as leader enders) has become a quilt top and I’m so happy how it turned out!  A bonus crib quilt is being made from the  leftover easy breezy blocks. The border isn’t on but I’ve made the…

Leaders and Enders are not for me.

Posted on

I adore the idea of leaders and enders.  Make progress on a second quilt while you are working on your main project – what could be better than that? After all what is better than two for the price of one? I will happily suggest to anyone who asks that they should try doing leaders…

The Gathering Quilt is Finished

Posted on

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

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

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 thought I’ll make the back and layer the quilt before I start the fun and easy happy block sewing. So I made the backing (I had…

Two finishes

Posted on

This week last week was productive with two finishes! One is a UFO and the other is a current year start.  Having a few long conference calls that didn’t involve video was the secret to my success. Paid attention to the calls but was able to sew binding on while people were talking about things…

My latest project

Posted on

Here is my latest project: The best thing is with pressing to the white (I know, goes against the grain) the seams all nestle. I love nestling seams! I found this pattern while surfing Pinterest and traced the pattern back to Ramona at  Doodlebugs and Rosebuds quilts.  It caught my eye immediately as something I’d…

Broken Stripe Nine Patch

Posted on

I had lost my binding mojo. This quilt has been by my chair in the living room for almost 2 months waiting for me to finish binding it.  Strangely I don’t mind hand binding once I’ve got going doing it. The problem is I find myself reluctant to pick it up and start working on…

Zig Zag Quilt

Posted on

This is another of my quilts that came from the Rick Rack Nines quilt by Bonnie Hunter that I ended up deciding not make when it was already partially assembled. Crazy yes, but I just didn’t have a use for a king sized monstrosity of a quilt and the assembly of it was not going…
