I finished two quilts yesterday! One with machine binding on both the front and back and one sewing the binding to the front of the quilt and hand sewing it to the back of the quilt. This DOUBLES my UFO finishes from 2 to 4 for the year (plus one non UFO finish)! Not very… Read More »
We found out about an online auction two weeks ago. The auction was for a TV series called Anne with an E based on the 1901 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery called Anne of Green Gables. I read the book growing up and it’s many sequels grown up and absolutely loved it. So when I… Read More »
Posting about this, this morning, to motive myself to quilt this top today: It’s mostly sitting down and getting it done. It isn’t a big project. This top is made from 9 of Bonnie Hunter’s Idaho Square Dance blocks leftover from making this quilt (somehow I had made an extra row!?!?): A little bit of… Read More »
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… Read More »
Quite a number of years ago, how many I’m not sure, I decided I’d make 9 – 8.5″ blue sawtooth star blocks. I don’t recall making them or having a plan for them. Not surprisingly they’ve floated around the sewing room for years. As part of my “get old projects done” push I pulled them… Read More »

First I had intended to make another quilt with these Alison Glass fabrics but I cut the grey background fabric incorrectly and had… Read More »

A friend of ours is having a third baby and for each of her first two babies we made her a quilt that was “sea” themed. This time around we couldn’t find any suitable materials and were at a loss what to make until I saw a quilt on another blog called one-fish-two-fish-red-fish-blue-fish That was… Read More »
When I pulled apart the almost finished Bonnie Hunter Rick Rack Nines quilt from her Adventures with Leaders and Enders book, I ended up making 7 smaller quilt tops from it. This is the second of the quilts that have been completed. The 9 patches were from the torn apart quilt and I added the… Read More »
