Worldwide Quilting Day from From My Carolina Home

The third Saturday in March is Worldwide Quilting Day, and our local guild always celebrates it with a challenge show. Our members are given a challenge theme and purchase a fat quarter of the challenge fabric we have to use. This year, the challenge was “Looking Out My Back Door”, and we were admonished not to take it literally. It is taken from the Creedence Clearwater Revival song about imagination. Some of the lyrics were given to us at a meeting last fall. Like these:

There’s a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the ...

A blast from the past! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I have learned something about myself. Actually, I've known it for some time now. I can get up and work like mad all day. But if I have an interruption to my schedule, I'm a zombie for the rest of the day. Case in point, I had a trunk show yesterday morning, which went very well and was not far from home. Hello to all the members of the Busy Hands Quilt Guild in Cambridge.

Then I got home in time to join the Monday Sewing Group for a bit, and well, instead of logging off at the ...

UFO Day from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Our UFO club is pretty simple. You signed up and paid some money. Each month you attend the meeting (or participate via e-mail) if you're too far away. You pick a UFO and you make a commitment (which I diligently record in my new book) and you better have the homework done for the following month.

We got off to a rocky start in January because of the weather. But we had great attendance this past month and NO money so far has gone to the kitty. Yikes - we might be having water and crackers for our lunch in ...

My Rainbow Garden from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This year, I decided to do something a bit different for one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts. Each month I made various blocks that represent things found in my garden in the designated color. I love seeing all these fun designs but I have never wanted a whole quilt made with the various block.

So this way, I had the joy of making each block and putting them all together into a fun quilt.

I enjoyed searching the internet for each block design. And many, I simply designed using graph paper and a pencil.

Some of my favorite blocs ...

End of the Garden Season from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I don't have a finished quilt to share this week but I did finish up my Rainbow Scrap Challenge garden quilt top.

Sorry about the glaring sunlight in the upper corner. There is only one spot in my fence that I can get a photo and I had to wait all day for the sun to pass. And I couldn't wait any longer to get this post written. (I am not gonna complain too much - it was a beautiful fall day!)

I had a lot of fun making the blocks for this quilt throughout the year. Once a ...

Oh Scrap! : October RSC Blocks from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It is time to pull out those dark scraps for October's RSC blocks. I didn't used to like these colors in my rainbow quilts but I have grown to appreciate them - especially brown. It's warm color really blends well with all of the other colors.

I finished up my ten Bright Hope blocks in brown. I don't have any plans to make them in black but I might make some in gray - I need to think about what size I want this quilt to be.

So far I only have forty of these 6" blocks so ...
