Nap time quilting

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 […]

August BOM Pink

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 […]

April Block of the Month

Welcome back to the Quilt Addicts Anonymous Block of the Month! This month we’re getting started on the first pieced border. There are 20 blocks, to make, but they’re easy and just 6-inches finished so the piecing goes fast. As always, I’m making the quilt in two colorways just in case the pinks and purples […]

Block 1 – Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Galaxy Block 1 video tutorial

Two … this video is almost 30 minutes long! Yes, 29:54 with no commercials. That’s longer than watching an episode of […]

March quilting goals

I feel so behind. Here we are almost a full week into March and I still haven’t set my quilting goals for the month, or sewn a stitch outside of the Block of the Month class I taught last Saturday. Finish nursery sewing March is going to be dominated by baby nursery sewing. I’m down […]

Swollen feet and improvising

I’ve had one heck of a case of swollen feet and ankles for the past two weeks. My normal habit of coming home from work and sewing has been replaced by coming home and elevating my feet on the couch. That means I’ve been getting a lot of knitting done, but my sewing projects have […]

Quilt retreat!

As you read this I am happily sewing away at quilt retreat. The semi-annual get-a-way is hosted by my guild, the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild and it gives me four days of (mostly) uninterrupted sewing and quilting. This is the first time I’m going for more than just the weekend in three years, so I’m […]
