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 »
Last weekend I headed to quilt retreat with one of the quilt guilds I belong to. Four days up north of the city in cottage country, with great ladies, my favourite hobby, lots of good food and snacks and wonderful scenery. Just what I needed after a crazy few months of work and life in… Read More »
