Beach Picnic from High Road Quilter

I was in the mood for a nice summer quilt and when I was looking at inspiration for my bird quilt, I saw a quilt that had a little bird near water, so I decided to make a beach scene.

I pieced the background, added a strip for the waves. Then I added the birds and the picnic.

I used my usual method of sandwiching first and then securing the applique with quilting stitches.

I quilted some waves in the water.

As per my usual M.O. , I finished this quilt late at night so these photos are taken with ...

Quilt Reveal: Transportation Postcard from High Road Quilter

When Carol announced that the theme for this month's blog hop is transportation, I was really excited because I have a trip around the world quilt that is waiting for applique. My plan is to add a train, a plane, a car, a covered wagon, and other applique around the border of the quilt. But I had to decide which direction all these motifs should go.

This picture does no show the wide border.

Should I add them all up in the same direction so that it would look good in a wall hanging?

Or maybe I should have ...

April Showers Blog Hop from High Road Quilter

I made a quilt for the April Showers blog hop. A list of all of the participants are in my last blog hop. Be sure to look at them after you are done admiring my quilt.

After making a few bigger quilts, I am back yet again making a smaller quilt. It is a fun applique pattern that adds to my collection of elephant quilts. Doesn't everyone have one?

I ran out of time making this quilt so I didn't finish it, but it wasn't from lack of effort. I even made it during my lunch and ...

Pinwheel Quilt Blog Hop from High Road Quilter

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog, High Road Quilter. It is my day to post my progress on my Pinwheel Quilt as a part of a blog hop hosted by Carol Swift.

Like the last quilt I made for a blog hop, I decided that since I have limited time to finish a quilt with my job and YouTube channel, I would rather make a big quilt top that I can quilt later rather than a small finished quilt. I have been making a lot of small projects for the Project Quilting challenges so I was due for a bigger ...

Blog hop reveal -- with prizes! from With Strings Attached

I'm honored to be among the bloggers participating in this year's VRD blog hop.

Here's the story behind Villa Rosa: We call Pat Fryer, the owner and the creator of the Villa Rosa Designs brand, our Rose Queen, because she absolutely adores roses. In fact, her love of roses helped her name her new venture in 2010. When she designed her first Rose Cards, she had a brilliant and unique idea to name ALL of her VRD patterns after Roses (also why we call them Rose Card patterns). For many years, all of the patterns were named ...

I have been participating the last few years and have always enjoyed it.

For this hop, I dusted off my Red & White Quilts Infinite Variety book. The book features all the red and white quilts that had been in an exhibit at a museum. I had seen the quilt on the cover before the exhibit and the book and had already been fascinated by it.

My friends and I had done some calculations ...

My Blog Hop Day: Pink Explosion from High Road Quilter

Hello!

Welcome to my blog hop day!

Back in October, I posted a video on my YouTube channel where I showed the African Ankara fabric I had just bought. When I folded them into bolts and got them ready to take upstairs, one of the bolts wound up sitting next to another fabric I wanted to take upstairs.

I really liked the combination of the Ankara fabric and the pink fabric and thought that the combination would look good in a quilt.

But I was about to start my daily videos with the 15 Minutes to Quilt challenge where I ...

Dashing Doors is my response to the Island Batik's Log Cabin Challenge and Blog Hop that begins today. My pun on Door Dash got a huge eye roll from Paul :-)

Island Batik Log Cabin Blog Hop from Quilted Delights

I am excited to show off my Lone Star Log Cabin Quilt! Using the Island Batik Flutter Wings fabric line by Kathy Engle

This month Island Batik Ambassadors were asked to play with Log Cabin blocks to help show off the new Island Batik fabric collections hitting stores now!

Flutter Wings is right up my alley, bright and full of dragonflies, birds, and butterflies.

The colors all blend so well together and make fantastic log cabin blocks.

I was also excited to get this new Oliso Iron in my January Ambassador box. The TG1600ProPlus. My old iron was hanging together ...

Quilt Reveal: Rabbit's Reverie from High Road Quilter

It's my day for the Just Let Me Quilt blog hop challenge. The theme for the week is White Rabbit.

The challenge was:

Make something with white fabrics, rabbits, or white rabbits.

It is a perfect theme, because I was just gifted a pair of embroidered white pants. I had seen a couple of quilts that were animal shapes that were cut out of some embroidered work with batting inside them. I thought about doing just that and having a quilt that was not a rectangle, but I still had house on my mind and wanted to make sure ...

Challenge:

There is a tradition for people to say “white rabbit” first thing in the morning (have you

ever heard of this?) The phrase is supposed to bring good luck for the rest of the month.

Even President Roosevelt did this!

Vintage Christmas Tablescape from From My Carolina Home

Setting a festive table early in the month for everyday use brings more cheer to meals in December. I’ve been collecting these dishes for some time now, finding a mug here, and a bowl there. I’ve added three serving pieces found online, but there is no room for them on the pub table we use for everyday meals. There is barely enough for the large place settings, but it is so much fun to use the dishes as much as possible this month.

The set is called Vintage Christmas designed by Susan Winget. I just love her designs ...
