small mat made from 2.5" quilt squares

A Few Finished Projects

Posted on

I’ve been working on some smaller projects this last week. Here is a small mat made from a mini charm pack. I have no idea what the fabric line is but I’m very happy I had some coordinating material in my stash to bind it. It’s now on my nightstand replacing a very ugly mat…

Diamond Brights Quilt

I was looking at the entries in a linky party on Friday and I saw a picture of the Fresh Diamond quilt in several colourways on the Samelia’s Mum blog. I had seen the quilt before but here Anorina showed it mocked up on EQ8 with some dark fabric as the background. It immediately caught…

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…

Bright happy blocks quilt

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…

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 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 Broken Stripe Nine Patch Quilt

Posted on

I had lost my binding mojo with this broken stripe nine patch quilt . It 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.  My problem is I find myself reluctant to…
