2025 QUILT FINISHES from Kwilty Pleasures

It’s Valentine’s Day

And I love my quilts!

I hope you do too!

I didn't get a full photo of this beachy feeling quilt for

Laressa, my person in Myrtle Beach who helps me

book my resort when I visit my son!

Summer Picnic is a winner!

Starstruck Ghastlies used up a lot of my OOP stash!

I'm talking early lines from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012

Twisted Geese, by Zen Chic was a fun one

and now I'm not afraid of a gaggle of geese!

This was a pattern test called Sweet Mae.

CHURNING OUT SOME WONKY! from Kwilty Pleasures

I have a trunk show available for groups, guilds called

"Let's Get WONKY"

The idea is to take a traditional quilt block

and make it wonky.

That's the idea here and I used

Missouri Star, Freestyle Churn dash tutorial

I had a Layer Cake and needed to give

this a try.

I love the result!

The backing uses same concept, my design, on a larger scale.

I gave it to Kim Hensley of

Happily Every Quilting.

We decided on the E2E Design WHITESPACE!

It's just perfect for this one.

Take a closer peek at it.

Here's ...

CROSS CUTTING A QUILT from Kwilty Pleasures

As usual I'm catching up with all my blog posts.

I still blog after 12 years, because its my personal journey.

Today I'm sharing a fun post about an inspiration I saw on Pinterest.

It began with a PINTEREST pic, of course,

CROSSCUT. A word, a photo, that caught my eye

And it all felt a bit wonky!

Thanks to

A Quilter’s Table

I was inspired to give it a try!

So to begin…blocks are made the same

BUT

For two different designs,

A traditional and a more modern

Or wonky design.

The layouts were the ...

A QUILT FOR LARESSA from Kwilty Pleasures

Laressa lives in Myrtle Beach and has always helped me

with my resort reservations when I visit Eric

She also looks after him and treats him like one of her own.

Last Christmas when I visited, she said, I have a wish

for next Christmas. I’d love a quilt.

And so that wish is being granted.

I had some batiks in beachy colors

that were perfect for her quilt.

A quick and easy patter

and this one was finished in no time.

I even had enough batiks for a backing

and binding.

For this one I sewed the binding ...

MORE WONKINESS! from Kwilty Pleasures

Time to work on some more WONKY blocks.

A speaker presentation doesn't just happen.

It takes work to make it fun and engaging.

Found this on-line and what a great reference guide.

9 Patch

Log Cabin

Sawtooth Stars

And the blocks continue to grow!

I am making small projects using WONKY blocks

to show peeps how fun they can be when incorporated into

a small project. No everything has to be a quilt.

Stay tuned for March and when the first

Let's Get Wonky Presentation happens!

If your guild is interested in any of my presentations

or workshops ...

LET'S GET WONKY! from Kwilty Pleasures

I am working on a new Speaker Presentation for quilt guilds.

Let's Get Wonky!

Most of my presentations are with traditional audiences.

Sew my goal is to encourage them to

'step outside the sewing box'

and try something new.

Something liberated, askew, FUN!

Let's break the quilting rules!

LET'S GET WONKY!

HST

Couthouse Square

Log Cabin

And some extras that I'll work into small projects.

I have some time to pull this all together

for the first presentation will be in March, 2025.

HELLO 2025! from Kwilty Pleasures

Happy New Year!

I will soon return home from my Holiday beach vacation.

I’ve been visiting with my son for 3 fabulous weeks.

My gift to me…and hopefully to him.

That being said, who else is looking forward to

another creative, successful year.

I am not big on making New Years resolutions but clearly

there is excitement building in my sewing room.

It’s cold in Ohio but I have this fabulous quilt coat to keep me warm!

Thanks is to Patty Estadt who helped me make it last November.

I’ll be sure to wear this at ...
