Phagun from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to my stop on the Sunflower Spice Blog Hop.

Phagun, 80" by 100"

When Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations asked whether I would like to join the BlogHop, I did not say yes. I had to see the fabrics, first.

OK, YES.

These vibrant hues cover the entire spectrum of the rainbow. The design had to be simple so that the colors could truly shine.

Out of the Dark Blog Hop from Melva Loves Scraps

BOO!

Oh, I hope I didn't scare you.

Welcome to Melva Loves Scraps and the Out of the Dark Halloween Blog Hop.

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday... I'm more of a fall season girl with a love for cinnamon and spices and all of the nice-ness and the warmth that come with them... from late August to the end of November... with apples and pumpkins and the delicious goodies that can come from them.

I have seen the book The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt for a few years and have considered buying it for ...

Here is the story or TWO WEEKS AGO (imagine you are watching a thriller on Netflix).

Co-sponsored by Aurifil Threads, Island Batik's September Challenge is named Threaded Chaos, requiring us to make a crib-size (or larger) Crazy Quilt, using our assigned Spring 2025 Collection and Aurifil Threads.

When I made a Crazy Quilt the last time, we were not assigned a fabric collection. I chose solids so that the decorative stitching was better visible. This time, the fabric and threads were not up to us.

I received the Everlasting Collection, designed by Jerry Khiev.

Christmas in July Blog Hop from Melva Loves Scraps

Welcome to Melva Loves Scraps and the Christmas in July blog hop!

It would seem that we are never really happy about what season of the year it its... in the winter, many long for the warm summer and all that goes with it... gardening, vacations, playing in or near a body of water.... a time that many layers of clothing are not required to be comfortable outside and windows can be open wide, allowing the scents of outside waft in.

And in the summer, many long for winter and cooler temps... because the summer heat (and humidity) can be ...

Miracle Fish from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to my stop on the Sunlit Garden Blog Hop.

I was thrilled when Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations asked whether I would like to join the Sunlit Garden BlogHop. Of course, I said YES!

Here is my quilt, named Miracle Fish!

Miracle Fish, 60" by 60"

The red and green together is evocative of Christmas, but this collection has vibes of Spring with floral reds and leafy greens. Christmas made me think of Christ and Christ made me think of Fish.

Midweek: my day at the hop! from With Strings Attached

I'm delighted to be among the participants in this week's Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop sponsored by Bea (BeaQuilter).

I have MANY quilt books. In the 1990's when I began quilting seriously I was purposely very frugal and checked out quilting books from the library. If I paid full price for a book (quilting or otherwise) I thought about it long and hard. But, as a librarian, I could also buy books at the library discount (40%) and I did!

Now the bookselling market is all over the place. I've shopped publishers' warehouse sales ...

Crystal Pendants from Sew Preeti Quilts

Island Batik's February Challenge and BlogHop requires the ambassadors to use their assigned Fall 2024 collection (I got Radiant Burst) and the Studio 180 Design Tool (I got Wing Clipper) to make a Table Runner or a Bed Runner.

Sounds simple? Yes. But wait there is more.

1. We must make at least 12 units.

2. Use as many fabrics (from the 20 in the collection) as possible.

NOW, we have a challenge :-)

Well, here is my response.

Glowing Front

And I used leftover blocks from Mirabelle to make the backing, so it is two-sided.

Island Batik Dresden Challenge and Bloghop from Sew Preeti Quilts

Island Batik November Challenge requires us to make a Dresden Quilt using our assigned Summer 2024 collection.

Here is my response. I have named it "Like It Or Not" (LION). LION finished at 45" by 46".

Vintage Fans, 45" by 46"

I received Peach Blossom, an original collection by Claudia Pfeil.

Fabrics

There are so many options for Dresden Plate designs. I could use a skinny Dresden Ruler (12 degrees) to make 30 blades per circle or a double Dresden (36 degrees) to make 10 wide blades per circle. I chose the 18 degree ruler.

My Wicked Quilt: Bona Lisa from High Road Quilter

I am participating in the Something Wicked blog hop and now it's time for my blog hop day.

I've been seeing a lot of beautiful Halloween patterns lately, and since Joan and Carol have been so accommodating and kind in hosting this blog hop, I decided to use one of their patterns. They both have provided so many Halloween patterns that it is difficult to choose, but a lot of them are on another hard drive, so it was pretty easy to choose.

I chose the center panel of the block of the month, Bona Lisa. The pattern ...
