Jane Austen - Winchester blok from Quilting Mathilda

 En de volgende blokken zijn ook af.

Ben nu bezig om alle blokken voor te bereiden voor het appliqueren. Kan op dit moment

niet zoveel doen vanwege een ontsteking in- natuurlijk- mijn rechterhand. 

Maar komt goed. 


En nog een voorjaarsplaatje, witte druifjes in een kopje.

 

Tot de volgende blokken, fijne dag toegewenst,

Tilly

Side by side..................... from Exuberant Color






I couldn't decide whether the strips should run horizontal or vertical so I made one of each.  I was making these to use up the 1.5" and 2.5" Kaffe strips that I had cut several years ago.  I did end up having to cut a few new strips to have enough for both quilts.  The spacer strips in the quilt on the left are in there because I needed a little more width and I didn't want to make any more blocks.  I'm not sure which quilt I like best because I like both of ...

FREE Faux Improv Lettering Mini Quilt Pattern from Adventurous Quilter


I am releasing another FREE political pattern!
Do you love the improv pieced lettering style but are too scared to try it?
Then this pattern is for you! The block is FPP not improv!
I wanted this to look like a rushed political sign someone whipped up in preparation for a protest rally!
Peaceful protest is necessary! Protest, protest, protest!
Civilized nations should never start wars. Diplomacy is the way to help the Iranian people.
The lives of Iranian school girls matter. The lives of every person in the middle east matter.
America is heading to the mid terms with ...

Super Fast Mini Project Pouch from Plum Quilts


 Before Christmas, the ever lovely Benta brought a wonderful idea (and a kit!) to demonstrate how to make a mini project pouch.

Very simple, and quite addictive!

I ended up buying my own gadget to set these little plastic poppers - it came free with lots of different colours, which is fab!

So I made this one out of one of DD2's favourite fabrics, in a matter of minutes, just to have a play!

I may have made a few others too, but forgotten to photograph them!

Making Progress from Quarter-Inch Capers

I was hoping to get at least one side of the next border added to my Stay at Home Round Robin, and I did! It has taken more time than I would like to admit but I’m finally seeing some progress. 

I laid it out on my family room floor—I like to take pictures there because 1) it’s a pretty big room, and 2) I have skylights so the lighting is pretty good. I took this picture after dark so not so good lighting, and the top has gotten so big, I am running out of room ...

Eli to the ER from Jo's Country Junction

The weekend was busy here. If you read last night’s blog post you know the Buck and his kiddos were home, Kalissa and her family were here and on Sunday Kelli and her kiddos came. Karl was around, too. It was a busy kid-filled weekend. Everything went off normally, and we were all having a …

Trip To Olympia And Back from Quilting My Way

Today, Patrick went golfing, I slept in. Then I got moving on doing the laundry while playing my games. I was able to get a lot done before he got back and we had to head to Olympia. 

We went to his Oncology appointment. Like he said when he got out, it isn't that he has cancer, it's that he is living with cancer. There is a difference. He is doing great and the doctor even commented on his weight gain and looking better. He asked him if he thought we wouldn't make it, and the doctor ...

Sew Wot Tuesday from Romany Quilting

This was our first Sew Wot get-together of the New Year, as several of our ladies had been experiencing health issues, so it was great to get everyone back this week.  Carol was our hostess this time, which coincided nicely with her belated birthday.  It's always such fun watching the birthday girls unwrap their gifts, I'm sure we enjoy it as much as they do.

Happy Birthday Carol

Once that excitement was over, it was time to view the rose challenge.  Rose wall-hangings in various shades were shown.  They were all so lovely, well done, girls!  I didn ...

{I've Been Reading} Strange Buildings from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

 

Strange Buildings by Uketsu

After the publication of Strange Houses, the author received reports of even more confusing floorplans and houses with troubling histories. This new book contains the details of eleven different properties, all of them somehow connected. Once those stories have been told, the remember of the book consists of the author and his architect friend talking through the mysteries to find the solution. It's definitely an entertaining read and I could see myself reading it again to see if I can catch clues that I missed the first time around. The whole thing is made up ...

Weekend Happenings from Jo's Country Junction

Buck came home on Friday night. He brought Scotty and Lilly with him. Kalissa, Gannon, and Carver, all came over too. Anders was sick so Craig stayed home with him. Lucy was wrestling the next day so she wasn’t with either. We had pizza for supper. It’s my homemade pizza. I typically make it once …

Basting and quilting! from Adventurous Quilter

This week I chose a whiskey print from my stash to back my postage stamp tumbler quilt  I needed to join two pieces to make it a wide enough quilt back, but I didn't want half bottles so I aligned the bottles, glued and pinned the fabric in place:

Then I topstitched the seem so I could keep an eye on the bottles to ensure they stayed aligned. It turned out great!
Then I got to work spray basting it: 

And quilting it with a simple meandering FMQ. 
After it was finished I washed it and then hung it ...

Approaching Normal from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. My post is late this morning because we left early for an epic grocery shopping trip. Honestly, it's the worst grocery shopping trip of the year...that's the first one after we get home from a trip. Thanksgiving gives it a run for its money, but today's was impressive by any measure. Our list was so long that I actually moved some items to the list for next time. Enough is enough, as you probably know.

There were two positives about this morning's shopping extravaganza. First, we got Egg McMuffin. I think ...

My SAHRR is Done! from The Quilting Reader's Garden

At last! My SAHRR flimsy is done.  I finished it last Wednesday, but didn't have time to post it. Here it is: Round 4 was to use curves, I let the curvy lines of the flowers fabric of my Kaffe Fasset pieces stand for that. And Round 5 was to use two colors. I chose to instead use two fabrics. To tie it together, I used a fabric from Round 3 to be my Round 6.  Now I just have to

Step By Step from From the Strawberry Patch...

  Spring is arriving, step by step... I'm ready!  I wish I could say it was a steady and gradual shift into spring, but that's not the case. One day we'll have beautiful almost-summerlike days and the next we're plunged back into a day that's cold and blustery, winter still has a grip. I've dug out my wintered-over geraniums and potted them up to enjoy the warmer, sunnmy days

Five Weeks of Quilting - in pictures! from Quilting Studio Adventures

Seriously, pictures - in no particular order…

Here’s are February’s Sew Powerful purses


After working on sewing a jacket, its results still to be determined, I had to go to
my safe space, a Trip Around the World.

This is from the leftovers of the quilt below.  Waiting for hand quilting. 

This quilt wasn’t a quilt, but recreated by carefully finding the fabrics and 
ponying up for the pattern.  


Foundation-pieced blocks from the leftovers of these two quilts. 


Six more purses - flaps of friendship


                       The next four pictures are reverse progress ones.  First you see a bag.
