What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you might visit on a semi-regular basis. A huge Thank You for that. I appreciate all of you. As you know we are about three weeks now before the row along starts and lots of things are happening behind the scenes here at Seams To Be Sew. Over the last few days, I have mainly been working on my blog to bring you a special treat come the start of the row along. After all, it’s 5 years of row alongs in the making and quite frankly I ...

Another month and another row added to our Sunset Isle quilts! There’s been a fun flurry of activity on Instagram on #sunsetislequilt (see below).

Not to mention being able to take this gorgeous photo of three Sunset Isle quilts together while on quilting retreat a couple of weeks ago. From left to right: Kara who’s making a scrappy rainbow with a light denim chambray background; Jane who’s using rainbow Liberty with a scrappy Maze & Vale background; and mine – rainbow Liberty with a grey Essex linen background. Similar but all look so different!

Shall I tell you a tall story….?

Sure! Once upon a time, there were two slightly naughty, spotted goats who lived with their grandma in a thatched cottage in a small village. Their names were Girome and Giraldeen, and they were non-identical twins. Girome had already grown a little larger than Giraldeen, and a little bit naughtier too.

One day Girome said to Giraldeen, “I spy a new lolly jar! Let’s raid it”. And Giraldeen replied “I like your thinking, but we’re banned from climbing the shelves. Remember?”

“Ahhh…..” said Girome, “But Nan didn’t ban us from ...

Whirling and twirling, this quilt block is a fun one using the parallelogram die from the AccuQuilt QUBE set. These ones always trick me at first with how to orient them when piecing the half-square triangle pieces to the ends, but thankfully I didn’t need to pull out the seam ripper on this one.

... a House is Built. Through perseverance a quilt is finished! I've been working on this one for twenty years, off and on (more off than on!). Last evening I finished putting in that last quilting stitch; so, it isn't truly quite finished yet, it still needs binding, but having this one off the frame sure feels good! The finished quilt, assembled as shown, measures 60" X 63". As soon as I got

Whew!  I have to admit, things have been very hectic for me lately.  We are preparing to open our doors for The Art of Home Club, and I've been doing quite a bit of "prep" work for that.  I've been writing patterns for the Club, and working on getting the colors "just right" for some of our pre-printed panels for Happy Little Things Block of the Month. And then there is the shipping - probably the least favorite part of my job, but is something that I haven't been able to delegate to others quite yet.  My husband ...

No more Frogs after this for a while, I promise

But seriously, can you resist this face?! This adorably agile amphibian is the second option for Block 4 of our Love with a Twist appliqué series. Which puts him in direct competition with the Duck of Attitude from June 21.

Can you choose? Or do you have to make two throw quilts to fit them both in? Of course you can just opt to make the big twin size one and have them play together. read more

Let's talk about fabrics, OK? One of the things I love best about quilting is how many different looks you get from the same pattern, just by choosing different fabrics. It's always a lot of fun during our BOM events to see what everyone is doing! Today, I thought I'd show you a ton of ideas for making this year ...
