Loading up the frame

Last summer I spent a lot of time piecing and no time on the longarm, which means I have a backlog of tops in need of finishing in my sewing room closet. So I’ve resumed my monthly trips to Quilting By You in Bettendorf, Iowa, where I can rent time on a longarm machine and […]

A new addiction

I’ve watched a million, OK maybe dozens, of YouTube tutorials on chalk pain, examined the beautiful brush stroke-free finishes and drooled over the colors in the Annie Sloan color chart.

Sewing, a family affair

Last month my family went on our annual vacation. It’s one week in Wisconsin with eight adults, three children 2 and under, three dogs in two cabins on a lake. It is always a lot of fun, and a good break from the day-to-day. But this year, I was still working … kinda. I helped […]

QAA BOM 2016 February

This is the start of a brand new block of the month from Quilt Addicts Anonymous. We are using an alternative grid layout with different sized blocks. The first features an 18-inch star pattern, made with paper piece and half-square triangles. Free printable instructions are available at this link: http://www.quiltaddictsanonymous.com/block-of-the-month-2016/

Win three yards of flannel backing fabric

This month’s winner will receive three yards of 108-inch wide flannel backing fabric in a tan marbled print. That’s enough to back a queen-sized quilt. If you’re new to the Block a Day Challenge, here’s how it works. Sew one quilt block each day and post a photo of it to our Flickr group. Each […]

I was lucky enough to be asked to contribute a block for the quilt. The only requirements were that the block measure 6 1/2 inches square and included yellow […]
