Floral Fabrics Seem to Work Better in a Group

Posted on September 13, 2020October 22, 2020

Or does floral fabric work better in a group? My alternate title for this post was “Floral Fright or Floral Fantasy?” In sorting through my box of 2 1/2 inch strips at the end of my last project I noticed that the box was muffin topped. There were also a good number of strips of…

Success and a Bonus Baby Quilt

Posted on September 7, 2020October 22, 2020

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 baby 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 September 2, 2020January 8, 2021

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

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…

My Livejournal Quilt Block Swap

Posted on August 16, 2020January 11, 2021

I can’t be the only person who back in the day had a LiveJournal account, can I? It was about 12 – 13 years go I was active there and while active I participated in the quilting group on that platform. I must have gotten into an ambitious mood because I participated in a 12.5″…

Star Struck quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter

Twinkling Stars

Posted on August 9, 2020January 12, 2021

I started another Bonnie Hunter Star Struck quilt last year in black and brights. This one I’m calling Twinkling Stars. Like so many of my projects I never got that far with it last year. So unsurprisingly it ended up on my UFO list this year. I got the top together at some point in…

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…

Zipper Quilt Part Deux

Posted on July 19, 2020January 11, 2021

Earlier this year I found some 2.5″ squares left over from another project and decided to make another zipper quilt. The first one I made was with a tropical colours and a white background. I changed up the second zipper quilt. While it was still scrappy,  I chose to make it with only five colours,…

Learning Free Motion Quilting

Posted on June 28, 2020October 23, 2020

I’m trying to master  a new skill – free motion quilting.  Here are my first two attempts. This is a Hundred Hugs Quilt from the Wedding Dress Blue Blog. I think it’s the 5th time I’ve made this pattern. It’s one of my favourites. I was careful to match the thread colour with the area…

Progress Has Been Made

Posted on June 21, 2020October 24, 2020

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…
