Two small projects from Quilting and More...

I have two little projects to share with you today. First is a small bag I’ve made as a gift; it’s another Drop Zone bag from ByAnnie. I really like this bag, as it opens up completely flat and then zips completely and compactly closed. I added an adorable little zipper pull shaped like a […]

Another quilt is in the bag from Quilting and More...

This quilt, like the previous one, is literally in the bag. I’m storing them both in bags until time to gift them to the intended recipients. This one is from a pattern called Strip to Be Square, by G.E. Designs. I know the colors may suggest “baby quilt,” but it’s not; I simply made it […]

I forgot! from Quilting and More...

Some time ago (August, I think), I showed a couple of photos of the free-motion quilting I was doing on a lap-sized quilt. I’ve just realized that I never showed the finished quilt! Oops! This is the quilt, which measures 63″ x 72″; it’s a design by Lo & Behold Stitchery. I’ve made a few […]

Quilting finished! from Quilting and More...

In a huge bit of progress for this particular quilt, I’ve finished both the free motion and the ruler work quilting! That means that I’ve been able to collapse my sewing cabinet so that I can actually walk into my room, rather than climbing over things to get in. LOL! I did my favorite free-motion […]

Complete! from Quilting and More...

I showed you the finished ITH quilting yesterday, but then I decided to finish off the piece as a small table topper — about 16″ x 17.5″. I had a small piece of teal for the piping and more of the dark brown Grunge for the binding, so it all worked out.

ITH Quilting done from Quilting and More...

The project I was working on the other day is now at the next stage. I’ve finished the in-the-hoop (ITH) quilting and will look to see what I have available for binding it. It was a fun project, and my replacement Bernina 790Pro handled it beautifully. The trickiest part is lining up the different blocks […]

Got the Point? from Quilting and More...

Got the Point? That’s what I’ve named my latest quilt. It was a fun one to make, and it’s now hanging in my sewing room, replacing a quilt that had hung there for over 20 years! It was time for a change, wouldn’t you agree? As you may be able to tell, the quilt is […]

Texture from Quilting and More...

I’ve been taking a long time to get going on the quilting on my current small quilt. I did actually start, but then I didn’t like what I’d done, so I “unquilted” it and started over with the “pondering” phase. However, I’m coming down the home stretch now, and I have to say that I’m […]

The curves are done! from Quilting and More...

I put the finishing touches on a quilt I’d been working on — or on and off! — for a couple of months. Of course, the holidays were in there, so I’ll blame the slow progress on that.

Our local quilt show from Quilting and More...

The Desert Quilters of Nevada, my local guild, has just wrapped up our annual show. There were so many gorgeous quilts, attesting to the expertise of our members! The judge, NACQI Certified Judge Nancy Fula, was fantastic, giving detailed critiques of each piece. This year marked a change in how entrants received those comments, in […]

Design Wall Monday March 13 from Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

Happy Monday!!  Just when I thought my design wall couldn't get any more colorful, well I just added another layer!!  The Queen of the Nile from Pride and Joy Quilting is a new guest on the design wall as we gets started, just completely smitten with her!

I think I need a bigger design wall!!

But alas there is some custom quilting that must be done and it's a great wintery day to get that started.   But I will have the queen of the Nile peeking over my should as I quilt.


Did I tell you about my ...

A feather for you and a feather for you and a few other things. from Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

 Oh 2023 has gotten off to a great start!  3 quilts on and off the frame.  I am in such a quilting groove right now.  And I have two more to finish by the middle of Feb so, I do hope the quilting Gods stay with me just a wee bit longer.  Want to see what I've been working on?   So many beautiful and different things.  This is the part where I feel very lucky to be a longarm quilter. I love the quilting part, the final icing on the cake.  I get to work on so many beautiful ...

Variegated Spools from Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

 Jeanne does such wonderful applique.  I've tried a few different ways, and ugh mine looks like well maybe I should just say it doesn't look very good. So when I get a change to quilt with  exquisite applique, I enjoy every single minute of it and this was no exception.  The spools have so many different fabrics, it was fun to look at them all. But this baby is done!!
