New BOM from Espritpatch

I started a new BOM, because I really ~~needed a new project~~ loved the look of it. I don't know if I love cooking, but I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen. So when I stumbled across this BOM by Adventurous Quilter, I decided to give it a go.

I hadn't done any paper piecing in a very long time so it was nice change. And there were a lot of tiny pieces in this first block. The first block is a kitchen mixer, a tool I use almost on a daily basis. I picked fabric ...

New projects from Espritpatch

Do I need any new projects? Ah ah of course not! Do I want to start new projects? Of course yes!

And I thought it would be kind to share the source of temptation with all, in case you have found those already....

Of course at this time of year, plenty of quilt-along, sew-along, BOM etc are starting and these ones have caught my eye

Great start for 2019 from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

for the Cotton Quilter's Guild, anyway! We had our first meeting of 2019 on Monday and started out right. For this meeting I asked (and reminded) everyone to bring in her favorite tool--only one or two. It was a rousing success!

Not everyone felt comfortable talking in front of the audience, which turned out to be a good thing since I was rushing to wrap up the meeting. We had a round-robin with each person explaining why she likes her particular tool. They wanted to hear everything. A few people asked questions and took notes in the hopes that ...

Weekly Update: winnings, fireballs, dots, and Good Fortune from With Strings Attached

Raffle Mania was the main event at Wednesday's guild meeting. Members bring quilt-related stuff they no longer love. Raffle tickets are distributed based on the previous year's attendance (1 ticket per month, 1 ticket for wearing a name tag). Additional tickets are .50 each. I got 17 free tickets and bought 20 more. I contributed 10 5-lb bags of fabric sorted by color (20 yards per bag), two smaller ziploc bags with fabric, and four bundles of 10 books each. (I was ruthless when I selected the fabric to donate. How many years have I had this? Does ...

FINAL STASH REPORT FOR 2018 from The Proficient Needle

Since this is the final full week in December,

I decided to close the books on 2018.

Fabric added this week 0 yards

Fabric added year to date 62.125 yards

Net used 2018 62 yards

This is not my best report since I have been keeping track,

which was my goal.

FINAL FINISH FOR 2018 from The Proficient Needle

During the past 12 months, I've been downloading and stitching some lovely patterns from Jenny of ELEPHANTZ

She offered a free BOM in 2018, with a new pattern each month.

I love hand embroidery, and had recently organized all my leftover threads from past projects and kits into zip bags, with one for each colour.

It was fun to hunt through the bags each month to find some threads.

When I finished the December block, DH and I headed to my favourite local quilt shop to look for 2 fabrics to complete the project.

I was having a difficult ...

Our Year in Review from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

We thought it would be fun to do a little year-in-review post this week, since it is almost time to say goodbye to 2018. What a year it has been! We have traveled to a few countries, enjoyed meeting many fellow stitchers in different parts of the world, and completed a lot of projects and patterns. Here is our year in pictures and posts.

Stellar BOM – Block 3 + 4 from Blossom Heart Quilts

The latest AccuQuilt BOM block has been released for the Stellar quilt. Which made me realise that in the midst of moving last month, I forgot to share block 3 with you too!

Block 3 uses the triangle in a square dies from the Angles companion set, and this is one pair of dies that I’m really itching to play around with some more! There are some fun options for this shape, and a four-pointed star should come as no surprise for being the first block I make with them. I love my star designs! You can download the ...

Weekly update: holiday doings, catching up, and Clue 4 from With Strings Attached

The United Methodist Women had their holiday luncheon on Thursday.

In years past I've made ornaments as favors but this year I made coasters. (20 coasters, 5" squares = 2 yards of fabric used!)

Thursday evening I went to my friend Erika's P.E.O. chapter's holiday party.

At both parties we exchanged white elephant gifts. I was happy to pass along some perfectly nice items I did not want. In return, both times, I got candy.

(Yes, I hang out with middle-aged/older white women. I fit the demographic.)

At church this morning the kids performed the ...

2018 Monthly Color Challenge Quilt Settings from Patterns by Jen

BOMs and QALs for 2019 from Blossom Heart Quilts

When it comes to thinking about your quilty plans and goals for 2019, one option to consider is signing up and committing to a block of the month (BOM) or a quilt along (QAL) or something similar to give you something to slowly on over the year. A small bit of progress each month will build up to something big at the end of the year! Not to mention the opportunities for making new friends, learning something new, or practicing an older skill that could do with some more work. In today’s blog post, I’ve rounded up a ...

Sunset Isle QAL – Planning and Prep from Blossom Heart Quilts

Who else is getting ready for the Sunset Isle QAL starting next month?! If you missed the news last month, the official 2019 QAL was announced – Sunset Isle. It’s a row of the month quilt design, in collaboration with Ava & Neve.

Free Block of the Month 15—Acorns from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

This post was almost called "Throwback Thursday" as the acorn is such an autumnal symbol, but technically it is still fall. The weather here in Germany has certainly become winter-like, but there are still a few days until the official start of winter, therefore the acorn is still in season. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

This acorn picture was taken early in the season, as you can tell from the green leaves. I (Kara) loved the yellow-orange color of acorn that was just beginning to change colors. I pass a couple of beautiful oak trees ...

The Bees Knees from Jean Swenson

The Bees Knees
November 2018

This is my adaptation of Jacquelynne Steves Save the Bees BOM which began back in August. Since I was away on a road trip through Utah and Colorado for most of August, I felt a bit rushed to get the first block done when I got home, and chose to deviate from Jacquelynne’s original flower appliqué design for this block (my block is in lower left corner). I used an embroidered tea towel to which I added the embroidered bee.

For September’s BOM, pictured in the lower right corner, I designed the flower ...
