I was able to sneak in just a bit of work on this part of the piecing before heading off to vacation. I'm back now, and everything is sorted, so I'm back to my studio. (Yippee!) I did pretty well on most of these. At one point I turned off my sewing machine for a … Continue reading Snowflake Shimmer QAL – Piecing
I've decided to join Angie at Gnome Angel (gnomeangel.com) on her Tula Pink City Sampler adventure. I've followed Angie for a few years - she runs the Fussy Cutter's group on Facebook. This is an Instagram sew along, so it is something a little new for me. I consider myself to be an Instagram idiot … Continue reading #100DAYS100BLOCKS
These blocks came together very quickly. The technique is easy, but I don't think it leads to a lot of precision. At least the way I did it. They need to be trimmed down to 9 1/2" rather than 10". There are several spots where the pieces don't reach to the seam allowance. That will … Continue reading Bursting with Blues Part 2
In my constant quest to reduce my scrap pile, I hit on the brilliant idea of cutting charm squares to sell on Etsy. I have to tell you, cutting seems to be the way to get my creative juices flowing. I began with my blue bin, which was packed full and could accept no further … Continue reading Bursting with Blues
That means it is time for the Hexagonquilt "La Passion" Facebook group to post updates on the progress of their La Passion quilts. For me, most Wednesdays are usually a bit of a let down. Everyone else is making such fast progress, and here I am, still plodding along, more than two years after starting. … Continue reading It's Wednesday!
This week, instead of whining, I'm going to share my progress in setting up my new studio. It isn't finished yet, but I can clearly see that it will be up and running shortly. This is where I started with my plan. Yes, I still use graph paper rather than an online design program. The … Continue reading My Quilting Studio Takes Shape
I've been pretty busy this week. Not enough stitching progress on anything to take photos of. Instead, I'm sharing an older piece. Enjoy! This is a raw edge appliqué quilt I made back in 2003. I can't remember exactly when I made it, but it was a gift for my aunt, who was undergoing treatment … Continue reading Roses for Susan
**Be sure to read to the end to find out how you can win this quilt.** This is a UFO that has been waiting to be finished off for a year or so. The pattern was originally published as a quilt along at Stitched in Color. Rachel made a great html button for her quilt … Continue reading Rainbow Mosaics
It is finally finished! I have been slogging away at this quilt in very little bits. I lost my steam once the top was complete. Piecing is always my favorite part - once that is done I often wander off in different directions. Since denim is so heavy, I just layered it with some flannel … Continue reading Denim Mondrian
I've made some good progress on my La Passion over the past few months. Getting the whole thing into the photo is getting harder and harder. I work on it for a few hours a day for a couple of weeks, then set it aside and do other projects before it calls to me again. … Continue reading La Passion Continues to Grow
