Week 38 of 2025 from Thread Head

This week I finished a little English Paper Pieced bag -

The pattern was from the October/November issue of Homespun Magazine (I see it digitally through the library). It is the Onwards Drawstring Pouch by Hatched and Patched.

It is made up of hexagons with pentagons to make the rounded base. I used the hexagon die for the GO! cutter to cut out paper hexagons, so my bag is a different size than the pattern because I used hexagons with 1" sides. For the pentagons I used a tutorial online to draft them with 1" sides too.

It makes such ...

Hebrews 12:1-3, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. My son-in-law surprised us Saturday morning with a big, delicious breakfast—eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, green chile with meat, fresh fruit salad, and coffee. Yum! We spent the morning listening to the grandbabies share about their lives, and my eldest grandson even gave a presentation on the three-castle kingdom he created in Minecraft. It was wonderful.

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,

"Make memories; it's later than you think."

Retreating in Shipshewana from Loose Threads

I had a wonderful time last week at the Jane Stickle Quilt Retreat in Shipshewana, Indiana. The town is a fun place to visit, and it's always nice to catch up with friends that I haven't seen in awhile. Our group came together over 25 years ago because we were all making the Dear Jane quilt. I started attending the retreat in 2001. I've missed a few retreats, but for the most part I've been there.

Here are some photos from around town:

Starting Another Project? from Loose Threads

This past Monday I started another hexagon mystery quilt over at Jemima's Quilting Blog. The first clue showed up in my email Monday, and I'd bought these blue fabrics to use in the mystery. The quilt will be started in the center, and this is how mine would look. I'm using 3/4" hexagons. Well, after I let this sit and percolate overnight, Tuesday morning I decided that I really don't like this. And I know if I don't like it going in, I won't keep up with it. So now I'm on ...

Pieced Bouquet and Quilt of 8,066 Hexagons from The Chester County Criswell Quilt

The Pieced Bouquet pattern appeared in the New York Daily News on Monday, January 8th, 1934.

A late addition to quiltdom, this design is almost modern in character. It can be varied by using a different print in each block, giving the quilt the appearance of an old-fashioned garden. The border is made of strips of green and yellow.

Hexagons, Grief, and Jazz from Quilting Studio Adventures

We went on a jazz cruise in January, obviously John’s. I would like points for not taking my sewing machine. However, I did take along a stack of big hexagons, some left from previous projects and some cut expressly for this project. I’m not a great hand piecer, but these hexagons, since they require y-seams, are really ideal for hand piecing. So every day I pieced away, watching the jazz shows on the closed circuit television. Of course I came out for meals! We were both happy for the week.

This jazz cruise quilt is a duplicate, of ...

Summer Picnic from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

There, my January binding challenge is done. Yeah me!

This was a LOT of hand stitching, but, so worth it in the end. Whenever this quilt is shown, everyone remarks at all the embroidery that I did. Nooooo ...... those images that you see are all from a pre-printed panel. All I did was fussy cut them down to size and appliqued them onto a hexagon frame.

A mix of white, cream and off-white fabrics have been used throughout. Below, it looks more beige on the right hand side, but it is just a shadow.

Then, I've also been asked ...

Jazz Cruise Quilt from Quilting Studio Adventures

I panicked as we were about to leave on the Jazz Cruise in late January. Not only were we going to hot places (never my favorite), there would be over 100 jazz musicians on the ship. To make myself happy, I grabbed the pile of hexies left over from the quilt I was working on when Doug was dying. Despite the sadness of the hexie quilt, it would be the perfect thing for a week cruise. There are no running straight lines, so hand piecing was really quite perfect. Every night I would pull up the big venue on the ...
