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… Read More »
At long last Stars in the Darkening Sky is a finish. We quilted it at Whirls n Swirls and used a wool batting. I finished it off with a scrappy binding and even managed to find some of the fabric from the star points to use for this! This is my second UFO finish for… Read More »
I’m happy that my Starstruck quilt is finally finished! About time! This one is going on the wall in my sewing room! I just love how the colours glow against the black background! There isn’t a lot of wall space in the room as I have shelves up so I’m hoping this will just fit… 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 »
Here is a picture of my Galaxy Quilt top. It’s a design by Deb Tucker. It was started at retreat last year and had needed the outer border put on which as you can see has finally happened. As this is a bit wider than I like to handle on my home sewing machine so… Read More »
A month or two ago I started making 16 patch blocks using 2 inch squares when I should have been using 2.5″ squares of fabric. I made a lot of blocks before I realised I had made an error. Not a world ending problem at all though some rather pithy language did occur at the… Read More »
This quilt top has been made for some time but for some reason I’ve never written about it. It’s like I made it and forgot about it. It really is too lovely a quilt to forget about. Like everyone I get many ads for quilt patterns, fabric and supplies. Honestly, most I don’t even open… Read More »
This quilt has been sitting in the “to be finished” pile for a few years. Started at a quilt retreat a few years ago, this quilt has had its share of tribulations. 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 »
I’ve been working hard on binding my Regent Street Star Quilt and finished it very early Monday morning thanks to a bought of insomnia that I put to good use. I can’t seem to make the insomnia go away so I try to make it productive whenever I can. I love how this quilt shows… Read More »
Marc came home not long ago and told me that a friend of ours is in the family way once again. It’s a little too early to know if it’s a boy or a girl so I’m making sure I’m prepared. I’m undecided whether to keep this new quilt in the same theme as the… Read More »
