Licorice Allsorts update from Wendy's Quilts and More

This week I started hand quilting my Licorice Allsorts quilt.

I get my quilts basted on a long arm machine and when this one came back I was a bit concerned because it was more bunched up that usual, but I'm releasing the basting stitches as I quilt it and it's smoothing out nicely.

I'm using Aurifil 28wt and quilting in the ditch to start with. I'll see what else it needs as it progresses.

The guild I belong to, Capital Quilters in Wellington, New Zealand will be holding an exhibition in May 2024 and I ...

saturday soire quilt finish from Making A Lather

This older block of the month is finally finished. Saturday soire is an older ufo from 2013. I added it to the 5 quilts list in April 2023. The 12 center blocks were already done, and, I had to make the 3 setting kits, and assemble the top. The setting kits were much more intense than I expected. I have only made two block of the months. This one does not disappoint. The fabrics are beautiful.

82 x 100 = 23 yards

I used a wide backing and quilted it on the longarm with free motion swirls.

assembling saturday soire from Making A Lather

I went with quilty friends to an open sew, and, began putting pieces together for my Block of the month UFO Saturday soire.

It was great to have room to lay it out on the floor.

I realized here that I had turned a row. It didn't matter if the center blocks were wrong, but, I had the ending pieces wrong. Which, also meant, the sashing was on the wrong side. The easiest way to fix it was remove the sashing row, switch the ends and keep the blocks wrong. But, it was nearly time to go home after ...

The Celebrate Quilt Block 4 from Patchwork Sampler Blog

Today we celebrate the arrival of Block 4 of The Celebrate Quilt. This month you will make an 18″ square chunk of the quilt.

Here is a quick tutorial to walk you through the block construction. You should have received the pattern in your inbox. If you didn’t, it is available in the Free Resource Library. This quilt has a lot of piecing and it might look overwhelming. You can see that nothing is difficult and each block just has a few simple units. It is a great way to use up small scraps. Just don’t stress too ...

june one monthly goal from Making A Lather

I have had Saturday soire BOM on my 5 quilts list for most of the year. The blocks were done, previously, and ALL I had to do was finish the top and assemble it to finish it. It has been a bigger project than I anticipated. I found 3 setting kits as part of the block of the month. My one monthly goal for June is to finish it, quilted and bound.

I have kit 1 finished, and I have the 2nd kit in progress. I think I can start the assembly,

row 1

Scrap box chevron finish from Making A Lather

I finished scrap box chevron in the nick of time for my one monthly goal for May. I put the last stitches in the binding yesterday. I had a few customer quilts that took priority this month, and, I wasn't sure I could make it. I started it in 2013 and it was ready to quilt in 2014. Yes, it has waited that long to be quilted. Many of my quilts that stall at the quilting stage are there because I am not a fancy quilter. I think I save them to do the new modern fancy stuff, but ...
