April's Block! Grandma's Attic BOM from Quilt Doodle Doodles

April's Block

Happy April! It has been a surreal few weeks... I've lost time and feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I can say though, quilting has been keeping me sane. I can actually relax if I'm quilting and listening to an audiobook. I'm sure I'm not alone! Many of us have been busy making facemasks, working on UFO's and actually completing them! I've enjoyed seeing the postings of last year's BOM completed by many quilters over the last couple weeks. It warms my heart to see finished quilts. This ...

A Few Finishes from The Cozy Quilter

My sewing machine was moved up to the dining room table as the sewing room is not a safe place for Finn to hang out with me...too many things for a curious little dog to get into. I started out this week making three more blocks for the London Modern Guild HST BOM. The patterns for April and May were posted this week --three blocks in total. Here are my blocks.

And here are all 8 that I have made so far. The final reveal of how they are to be put together will happen at the end of ...

Knitting, Binding and Cross Stitching from The Cozy Quilter

I'm still stitching away on February's cross stitch ornament from Linen and Threads. I will add some more stitches this weekend for slow Sunday stitching. I need to buy some extra skeins of these colours so that I can use them for all 12 ornaments. I have a plan in my head for a project which will include all 12...

My friend, Pat, is teaching me to knit. This week, I made the big leap from working on my red practice sampler to actually starting a real project using a pattern! We went shopping yesterday at the local ...

Just add water: Colour & Inspiration Tuesday from Clever Chameleon

Australian Native Orange colour board at Clever Chameleon

The desert was only sleeping

I have been into the Australian Outback many times in the last 20 years, but this unique environment never fails to amaze me. It is resilient and diverse, and just because everything is bone dry, it doesn’t mean that everything is dead. On the contrary – when the conditions are right…… BAM! Life emerges from places and in forms you wouldn’t believe! Two nights ago I saw what looked like an ant that was only about 1/4 inch long, but with an antennae over an inch in length. It was investigating around about ...

Woodland Getaway from Quilt Doodle Doodles...

I'm in love with these beautiful warm tones, these are very often my go to colors when I make a quilt for myself so when Marcus Fabrics asked me to pick out colors for a new line of Primo Plaids I knew exactly what colors I was going to pick. They are rich and warm and a delight to work with. This line of Primo Plaids is called Lumber Jack and I'm head over heels in love with them. These wonderful fabrics is available for quilt shops to order now so keep your eye out for them! I ...

Breezy Quilt Tops from Jan's Quilts

When I make charity quilt blocks for my quilt guild, the Temecula Vally Modern Quilt Guild, I make 2 to donate and 2 to keep. I threw in some orphan blocks and made these quilt tops from the keepers. Two quilt tops done, same pattern, different look.

First I made the quilt top on the left. While I was making it, I was inspired to make the brighter version. Thank heavens for an abundant stash!

For Breezy #1, I used Kona Windsor and Coty.

For Breezy #2, I used Kona Turquoise, Chartreuse, Citrus, Red, and Surf.

This is a new ...

Embroidery Done and some HST blocks from The Cozy Quilter

I sat down with a cup of tea by my side and added more embroidery stitches to my project several times this past week. Yesterday, I finished the last few stitches, and it is done! As directed, I soaked it in warm water and the pink lines on the fabric magically disappeared.

I had fun trying out some new stitches and when I find the hoop that came with the kit (I know I put it somewhere safe and now it is MIA), I will hang it in my sewing room.

I bought the kit at QuiltCon a year ago ...

Homegrown Progress from Alamosa Quilter

In 2018 I participated in Sue Spargo's BOM Homegrown. I'm still working on getting it quilted but I'm making good progress.

There are 27 houses surrounding the center tree block. I've quilted the center block plus 22 houses thus far. I'm quilting by hand using the seed stitch.

In shop news, here is a link to the latest newsletter if you are interested: Alamosa Quilt Company Newsletter. Our Local Quilt Shop Day Event on Saturday went well. And we will be taking sign-ups for the 2nd Saturday Sampler Club through the end of February.

weekend goings . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Todd and I got on the road yesterday afternoon and headed to Tuscaloosa for a missions conference. We stayed overnight at the Bama B&B!

It's a really pretty place and I'll share more about that later.

I finished up granddaughter Olivia's patchwork doll quilt . . .

Just a simple finish. It's sweet! I'll get this out in the mail to her on Monday.

I also finished block 20 of my Grandmother's Choice BOM.

I had trouble with the points on this one. I may (*may*) go back and fiddle with it. I also may not ...

Stitching Up A Storm from From the Strawberry Patch...

Scrappy Shining Stars 65" X 83" Remember all those piles of scraps that I have cut? Well, they're being used. I am holding fast to my guiding word for the year: VISION. I have a goal of making up stacks of scrap quilts in 2020 using what is right under my nose. Here's my first idea. This one will utilize 3.5" squares in 9" 9-patches combining with 4-patches (2" UF squares for a 3" finished
