Carpenter’s Wheel from Quilts....etc.

Now I could leave this top this size – adding corners and sides in the white with black polka dots or I could continue to let it grow. At first I had put the new light green in the wrong spot and was thinking I needed to make one more block if I have it […]

Carpenter’s Wheel from Quilts....etc.

Fabric was sized to fit the BOB (block on board – a whole block on one board) for the Go Big and the Carpenter’s Wheel blue block was cut rather quickly and some work got started on the blue block. It takes two runs through the machine for this one – 6 layers at a […]

Using the Dies from Quilts....etc.

I was asked about the markings on my dies – what are they for? I use a ruler and mark a quarter inch around the dies to show where my place for fabric should be for the amount of waste possible – most of the time I also measure the space and write the number […]

Rearranging Things from Quilts....etc.

With the extra supports up on the shelves to hold my Accuquilt system (all the dies) it was time to figure out how to rearrange my tables so that I could keep my Go Big out all the time and not keep folding it up and putting it behind my sewing machine – this machine […]

Weekly Word: Joy Comes in the Morning + Books, Stitches and Gratitude! from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello there!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate the time you spend here and hope you are blessed in some way!

Every day this week I've spent at least five to six hours visiting with friends and grandchildren. We also experienced a major victory over cancer which I joyfully share in my Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer article.

Triangle Tricks Island Batik Ambassador Challenge from Curlicue Creations

This is my Island Batik Ambassador project for the Month of May. I'm calling it Triangle-A-Go-Go table runner.

For this month we were challenged to make a quilt featuring, you guessed it: Triangles! I do love triangles, and I had a great plan for this quilt. But....when I really sat down and started designing it, I changed my focus, and decided to make a table runner instead.

I pulled out the Graphix 10" precuts stack and hot pink stash builders rolls that I received in my January box. I love pink in my kitchen and these two colors ...

Prepping for a Class from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This afternoon I started prepping for an upcoming scrap class. I am teaching my Geese Migration class in Roseburg Oregon in about a week and half.

I like to take lots of scraps with me to share with students.

When I need to cut my scraps into a lot of 2.5" squares, I love my AccuQuilt Studio cutter.

I can layer the scraps over the multiples die and run it through the cutter and soon have a stack of 2.5" squares.

I can quickly top off my 2.5" storage box. You can see the squares stand up ...

Sunflowers for Ukraine PQ13 Entry from Mulberry Patch Quilts

Like many of you, I can’t stop thinking about and praying for the brave people of Ukraine as they are under attack. As Lella Boutique said so beautifully in her recent blog:

“Sunflowers are powerful and relentless in their pursuit of light … It seems so fitting that Ukraine’s national flower is a sunflower. Sunflowers have become a powerful symbol of the Ukrainian people; their heart, strength, and determination to fight for the good. It’s impossible not to be inspired by their spirit. We pray for these heroic people to overcome the evil at their door. We pray ...

Hello and welcome to the first day of the Island Batik Ambassador Row by Row blog hop. This is my quilt, Stars and Stripes Forever that I made with the new Americana fabric collection by Kathy Engle.

The Rising Star Block For Rotary Cutting and AccuQuilt from Quiltnotes All Blogs

The Rising Star block looks complicated but it's really easy to piece! Cutting instructions included for rotary cutting and for the AccuQuilt Rising Star die.

The Rising Star block is a star within a star. The diagram below shows the three fabric variation.

First Finish of 2022 from DaySpringQuilter

During a scrap cutting frenzy in the summertime (before I got overwhelmed and donated most of my scraps to my guild for charity quilts) I pulled out my Accuquilt GO cutter and proceeded to cut out some 'kits' of various shapes designed to go together into blocks.

The Accuquilt GO really does save time on cutting fabric and I have no regrets investing in my system. these Diamond Starts went together really well and used a lot of my purple and green scraps. I used my 9" GO Cube for this block.

If it was green and purple and the ...
