Another Quilt! from Thread Head

This year I wanted to try to get back into blogging - it's been wonderful. I am remembering all the things I like about blogs, and why I got started. The one thing I forgot was how inspirational they are. I thought this year I wouldn't start any new quilting projects, but reading blogs and seeing so many beautiful things, I just couldn't resist!

This is the start of a wall hanging that I saw on a blog tutorial. Should just be a quick project and then I will get back to my other works-in-progress.... Squirrel!

Love Heart Dreaming {Free Pattern} from Samelia's Mum

#MakeItMonday

Love Day, otherwise known as Valentine's Day is only a few short weeks away, so I thought I'd share my 'Love Heart Dreaming' free pillow pattern today.

This is an older pattern which was originally published in a magazine called Patchwork & Stitching. It measures 12" x 24".

Dear Jane 2020! from JulieKQuilts

Hello everyone!! I spent a long time today working on my Dear Jane quilt. I got to sew one whole row on to the quilt, and some of another is in the works, as you can see. I can see in the picture that the bright yellow bottom right block will not work...pretty darn yellow there! Hello! LOL! Anyway, I am back to working on this quilt a little every Sunday.

I am so, so behind on my Cheddarback quilt. I just don't have enough minutes in my day to do it all...but this quilt is fun ...

Challenge 11-1 Project Quilting - Flower of Life from Quilting & Learning

Challenge 11.1 of Project Quilting is due tomorrow morning. The theme is Notably Numeric which includes geometry. The Flower of Life is part of what is known as Sacred Geometry. It's all very intriguing stuff.

Flower of Life

I'm not mathematically inclined, but geometry, especially if I don't have to calculate anything, can be quite beautiful. In fact, geometry is the basis for traditional quilting. Although I don't do much traditional quilting anymore, that's how most of us learned to quilt.

Flower of life - a series of circles or orange peels

Since I love ...

Vera's Star 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

I wonder how many ways the Vera’s Star block can be coloured?

And if Vera’s Star can be coloured so many different ways, how many ways can your favourite block can be coloured to create a centre feature, straight lines, diagonal lines, corners, small feature blocks?

The easy part is finding the quilting design … just follow the seam lines, though I would quilt a line just outside the seam lines so that the quilting stitches can be seen, not hidden in the ditch, and the coloured pieces stand up above the background fabric.

One block quilts do not ...

The Mattress Situation from Patchwork Times by Judy Laquidara

Weekly update: a milestone birthday, but not much progress from With Strings Attached

Look who had a milestone birthday on Saturday! I put out a call on Facebook and via email for in-the-mail birthday cards with the hope that there would be 80. They've been coming for ten days, up to 130 as of this writing -- from as close as next door and across the street to Australia, Ireland (in Gaelic), and England. There was a friend from his kindergarten days and colleagues from his library days. The youngest was three and the oldest was, well, decades older. Rotarians, Methodists, AAUWs, P.E.O.s, librarians, and a host of other friends ...

Happy New Year from Quilting Solutions

It is a New Year and my blog has a new theme. This will take some getting used to as Blogger has made some changes and I am not up to speed on them.

Sewing? Not yet. We spent Christmas in Salzburg, Austria, and it was magical to explore some of old Europe. We attended Christmas Day service in the old, gothic Salzburg Cathedral. We walked through catacombs cut into a cliff, toured a Fortress high on a ridge, and joined the crowds at the big, outdoor Christmas Market where vendors sold local food and gift items. We drove into ...

Instead of quilting....... from Mimi's Passions

I took a week off from quilting because I have been obsessed with knitting right now. I find that once I pick up the needles, I ~~can't~~ don't put them down until my project is done especially when I think I may run out of a particular yarn.

There was this pretty shawl I saw on Instagram and I just had to have it. So I ordered my pattern from Ravelry called Woodland Journey and my yarn kit from Miss Babs Hand Dyed Yarns.

These are mini skeins. Upon reading up on reviews of the shawl on Ravelry ...

A Picture for Sunday - January Sunrise from Lizzie Lenard Vintage Sewing

Late sunrises in winter mean that I am sometimes able to get out in time to enjoy a beautiful sky. Often there is cloud on the horizon blocking the sun as it appears, but on this occasion a pocket of blue with salmon pink clouds came as a pleasant surprise.

A Finish and Another Sew-Along from From the Strawberry Patch...

This finish has been a long time in the making. This small quilt is the result of the Temecula Quilt Co. 2015 Summer Sampler Sew-Along. I was diligent (in the beginning) about keeping up with the blocks as posted on their blog. I decided to do mine using the black and white scraps (generously sized leftovers!) that I fell heir to after my mother finished her own black and white quilt. She

2019 MYSTERIOUS SEWING from Kwilty Pleasures

Sew here's the MYSTERY!

Leigh Morgan was the coordinator for the Columbus Modern Quilters

2019 Mystery Quilt Challenge

Every other month we received a CLUE or directions

to make a part of the Mystery Quilt.

Clue 1 was to pick fabrics

I decided to pull from my stash and used 4 tones in each color way!

Clue 2 was to cut the fabrics

I made an index card that showed the colors and their labels.

This makes it easy to figure out what goes where

when sewing pieces together.

Clue 3

Sew this block, using specific fabrics

and a ...

First Frolic square ...amazing from Beryl the Pearl

This went together really well, following Bonnie’s exact instructions for sewing and pressing. I am amazed at her creativity. I hope I can chain piece these square units without getting confused! Easy to do for me...to get confused, that is! I miss the old linkups on her blog of yesteryear, when you could give and receive comments. Like to see what other people are doing. Oh yes there’s FB and Instagram...too much bother
