Block a Day Challenge roundup – Week 13

This week we finished 20 blocks, two quilt tops and two quilts. I took a week off from sewing myself. I’ve just been exhausted all week. But I cleared my schedule this weekend and plan to make up for lost time. You’ve got two more days to post your blocks, tops and completed quilts for […]

Dare to DIY – Fall placemats

My friend Kim blogs over at NewlyWoodwards.com. In addition to just finishing the remodel of her third home (she’s under 30), Kim is also very creative and is hosting a Dare to DIY blog party. I’m participating and today’s theme is a making your own Thanksgiving-themed project. I’m cheating a little because I made these […]

Block a Day Challenge roundup – Week 14

Everyone must be inspired by spring, because the blocks and tops completed this week are all really bright and fun. This week we completed 57 blocks and three tops. I still haven’t had a chance to enter all the entries from March to choose a winner at random. I’m hoping to do that this weekend […]

August Block of the Month

This month we’re making quarter square triangles, also known as hour glass units, from squares. It’s a new block for this quilt, but the technique is very similar to making the double pinwheels from squares, which we did in May and July. If you can handle those blocks, then this month will be a piece […]

http://instagram.com/p/qCYGpOP4aY/?modal=true Nap time quilting.  It’s a popular pastime among quilting moms, there are even entire blogs dedicated to it. And now I’m one of the nap time quilters cramming as much into nap times as possible. It’s amazing what you can get done when you know there’s only and hour, maybe two to finish it in. Last […]

‘The Wedding Quilt’ ties up loose ends

I’ve read all of Jennifer Chiaverini’s novels in the Elm Creek Quilts series except “The Union Quilters,” which I just picked up from the library. I’ve loved all of them, so it’s not much of a surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed “The Wedding Quilt,” which goes on sale Tuesday. Warning: There will be a few […]

After quilt retreat: Lonestar

My lonestar also did not receive that much love and attention at quilt retreat. I did manage to nearly finish the appliqued leaves on two of the background squares. But I still have to applique all of the flowers which take about an hour each to complete. I pinned the sections up on my design […]
