What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I added some scraps from the guild table at our quilt show.  I haven't even taken them out of the sack. Most of  what I bought were 1.00 mystery bags filled with scrap pieces. The quilt show went well, with a smaller venue.

I entered sea swept,  rainbow pineapple blossom, and Boho heart.

Hello, quilting friends! It’s Audrey here, and we have a real treat for you today! Double Dip Twist is a free quilt pattern, designed by Cami Groethe and me. Cami designed this fun quilt block years ago, which creates a really cool secondary pattern when you put everything together. I was able to work with […]

I have a weakness for charm squares, I know I can cut my own, but, they seem like little mysteries to me. And, with the higher prices, these days, If I can find them cheaper...... I don't always resist.

Ha Ha! Not Possible! But I do love a scrappy quilt. Recently, I pulled my two inch scrappy squares and then cut white two inch squares. I saw this quilt on the internet years ago and unfortunately, have no one to credit it with. It is an easy pattern to follow from the picture I saved.

Not sewing every day these days, so it took a bit to finish it but was worth it! The backing is an Anna Maria Horner home dec weight and works perfectly for a scrappy. I wouldn’t piece with this weight, but it’s ...

I found these beauties on the free table at quilt guild. The key fabric is 36 inches, so is vintage. I am planning a patriotic quilt... someday, so, I keep a look out for red, white, and blue. I am collecting floral scraps, too.

 I was gifted these 'scraps'. The middle one was 2 1/2 yards, the rest were bits and pieces. I don't count them in yardage, unless they are over 1/2 yard or are a fat quarter.

 There is a nearly local quilt shop going out of business, and, they are offering all their fabric for 4.00 per yard. Oh the temptation.

In anticipation of the move to our new home, I started packing this tiny apartment in which we have crammed so much stuff and I remember thinking when we moved in that we need to stop collecting… stuff.

And it is all just stuff, right?  And while I admire the minimalist lifestyle, I also love some of the little things that I admire not just for their beauty, but more for the memories they help me recall.  

I know I’ve posted previously about stuff.  But I have been pondering the “where will it land” for all of the stuff ...

I found these pieces of woven plaids at goodwill for 99 cents each. The regular price now for  up to 1 yard is 3.99.  2 yards or more is 5.99. Someone didn't like these and marked them 99. I like them so I snatched them up to take home.

Types of Quilt Fabric

Although standard quilting cotton fabric is our hands-down favorite for making quilts, there is a wide variety of fabrics available for sewing quilts, home decor and garments, such as batiks, wovens and flannel. Some are made from natural fibers like cotton and linen, while others are man-made. The base fiber affects ...

I don't have new fabric this week. I have been cutting scraps. I cut 1 1/2 inch strips at the last, if I can't cut anything larger. There was 1 pound 2 ounces of scraps in this size. If there are 3 yards in a pound, I have a little over 1 yard.

1 1/2 inch strips

These are mystery jelly rolls from last December. I am including in this years totals because I was hiding them from myself.
