Diamond Brights - Finished

Progress Has Been Made

Posted on

Though I’ve been in a funk and not very motivated I’ve not allowed myself to stop sewing. I haven’t had the same joy in it I normally do but that’s okay I’ve managed to get one UFO and one current year start finished this weekend. That progress has actually energized me and I’m pumped to…

Unfocussed

I had a good day of sewing on Saturday and got this happy blocks quilt top quilted. I have to say it wasn’t an easy quilting job. My Sapphire’s pressure foot sensor and the walking foot weren’t playing nicely together resulting in the machine stopping and the error message “pressure foot too high” coming on…

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…

Happy to be Square

Posted on

I have a couple of conference calls (no video) and a webcast to thank for my latest finish. Hand sewing down a binding really is the perfect way to make what tend to be long winded and not so interesting calls more useful. Here are a couple of pictures of my Happy to be Square…

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…

Happy Blocks and Maple Leafs

Posted on

Three of my recent finishes are my happy blocks quilt and 2 Maple Leafs quilts.  The Toronto Maple Leafs fabric was bought when my nephews were much younger and is no longer suitable for a quilt for either of them, hence these quilts that will be donated to my guild for the charity outreach program….

Happy Blocks Quilt

Posted on

I finally have a finish. Believe it or not it’s my first one in 2018.  I started making these happy blocks earlier this year and actually finished a quilt with them  in the same year I started working on them.  I’ve made lots of tops in that time but never got them past the finish line. Life…

Ribbit Quilt

Posted on

Made with Happy blocks as per Mary Quilts this quilt was super easy and quick to do.  It used 16 4.5 inch squares for the centre blocks.  The only hard thing about it was deciding what border to put on. The pink won and the final quilt looked like this: I had just enough of…
