Good Morning Quilters!

This time of year I spend a lot of time watching basketball, and today I will fill out my brackets, choosing which teams I think will go far into the NCAA tournament. Our family has a pool, and it is fun to compete with my grandkids. I usually pick Big 10 teams, but the league has expanded so much that there are now 18 teams in the Big Ten (new math) and I don’t follow some of the newer teams in that league.

While watching basketball, I will be finishing my last block for my Indigo ...

Good Morning Quilters!

It was a very productive week here. Last Monday, I reported that the indigo/shirting Jane Stickle quilt had 15 more pieces left to make. Thirteen triangles and two corner kites.

I got my paper-piecing brain in gear……meaning I stood backward and upside down. In that state of mind, with three seam rippers nearby, at the ready……I tackled all the thirteen remaining triangles and one of the two remaining kites. While paper piecing, I make every mistake you can make.

Mistakes I made this week:

1) adding a piece too small to cover the intended ...

I am back at it making Jane Stickle quilt triangles to complete my Indigo/Shirting version. This week was very busy and I was pleased that I finished two. They are Left Side 2 and 3. I have about fifteen yet to make and they are all paper pieced with appliquéd pieces…….not my favorites. I shall persevere!

My finish of the little cross stitch project has renewed my enthusiasm for getting projects finished. Here is a picture of the finished little quilt on top of my bed sized copy of Jane’s original.

Good Morning Quilters! Merry Christmas!

Praying for joy in all of our little blessings this Christmas season. There is much to be thankful for.

As for quilting, not much has been finished here, but I have a little bit to show you. Here are two Jane Stickle quilt blocks that I re-made this week. While sewing the rows together while at a retreat, I discovered two blocks where I had used dark green fabric instead of blue fabric. Now that my cataracts have been removed, I can see colors much better, and decided that I would replace the two blocks ...

Good Morning Quilters!

In the United States, Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Although Indigenous People’s Day is not an official federal holiday, some states celebrate our Native American Indian culture on this day, and some states celebrate and honor both.

As a retired lady, every day is similar to the day before and the day after. I just have to remember that the banks and the post office are closed on a holiday. My sewing machine is open and ready for business every day. And for that I am thankful. However I am observing ...

Good Morning Quilters!

Just back from vacation and am raring to go on assembly of my shirting and indigo Jane Stickle quilt.

While on vacation I got to stop in at one of my absolute favorite quilt stores - Millstone Quilts - 8074 Flannigan Mill Road, Mechanicsville, VA. They have great reproduction fabrics and I loved being in the shop. If you are ever in the Richmond Va area, do stop in. I was looking for a shirting fabric for the sashing of my Jane Stickle project, and walked into the first room of the shop - a room completely filled with bolts ...

Good morning quilters!

Here are the final two borders, bottom and left side, added to the design wall, with the completed top border and right border. I have 8 blocks and a corner kite to complete for each of these final two borders. I am taking a little break from this project to work on another UFO this week. I will try to get at least two triangles made though.

My medallion UFO is on the floor (my extra design wall) with all the “square within a square” blocks for the next round. This week I hope to sew them ...

Good Morning Quilters! Happy Labor Day too!

We are not doing anything special for Labor Day, just our usual Monday activities.

We went to the first Michigan State football game Friday night. And it was a beautiful night, even if I am not fond of night games. It is our 60th year of going to football games together. Here’s a pregame picture of us in front of Beaumont Tower on campus.

One of our granddaughters is a baton twirler for Texas Tech, and their first game was Saturday night. The band had a special halftime show planned, celebrating 100 ...

I came down with a rotten cold on Wednesday and was out of commission for the rest of the week. This is a fairly discriptive picture of what my activity was from Wednesday through Sunday:

I did spend some time reading quilting blogs which cheered me up immensely. Thank you. You are all very talented.

The worst part of my week of sickness is that I missed the AQS Quilt Show that was in Grand Rapids Wednesday through Saturday. It was sad, but it couldn’t be helped. I am so much better now though. Being sick ...

The week has been a busy one for me, with not much quilting done. But the top border row of triangles is up on the design wall:

There are seven completed and six to go. I hope I am able to complete two more this week. It is making me smile to know the middle 169 blocks are completed. As you can see, I decided to use shirting for the plain triangles stead of indigo. I am curious to see if I have 76 different shirting fabrics to make each one a different print. Oh the games ...

This week I had my nose to the grindstone, and managed to get all 15 of the remaining 169 blocks of the Jane Stickle quilt finished. Here is a current picture of the design wall, with the 15 blocks circled:

Next, they will all come down from the design wall, and the outside borders of triangles will go up there. I am excited to see the triangles on the design wall. There are 52 regular triangles plus the four bigger corner triangles in the quilt, and I have 19 completed, and 33 to go.

Most of them ...

August is here and I am getting so close to finishing the 169 blocks for the center part of the Jane Stickle quilt. There are only 15 more to go! I may push myself to get them all done this week. It probably won’t be possible, but I’m going to try.

I took down rows G and H as all 13 blocks were completed and I moved the remaining rows up higher on the design wall. Here is the picture of rows I,J,K,L,and M, with only 15 holes to fill. So ...

This week’s progress looks similar to last week’s progress, so I hope I’m not boring you. There are five more blocks on the design wall in the Jane Stickle quilt. Here’s a picture: (new blocks circled)

Only 20 more to go. Next week, I hope to have the outside triangles up on the design wall, to see how many of them are made, and how many need to be made. There are 56 triangles and I think I have about 1/3 of them made.

Here is my progress on one of my UFOs - the Jane Stickle indigo and shirting project. Rows G through M are on the design wall, and I have circled the blocks made this week in the picture.

There are 25 blocks left, and last week there were thirty. It is so gratifying to move closer to the end of this project. I just realized that last week I said I had thirty left, and now I have twenty-five, which means I made five, but I have six circled. lol. This project defies math for me. But I ...

Well, I looked at the two UFOs that I pulled out, and I made progress on one of them, while I’m still thinking about the second one. Here is the progress:

The UFO is a kit, Collection for a Cause - Faith, pictured here:

I sorted all the fabrics, read all the directions, and looked at what was done previously. The medallion style starts n the middle, and I added the hourglass blocks around the center part. The star and pink and tan pieces were assembled before, and also the hourglass blocks were made previously.

Then I ...

Happy 4th of July to all of our United States bloggers. It is hard to believe it is now July! The year is quickly happening. My design wall again has my shirting and indigo Jane Stickle quilt on it, and again, I made some progress.

It seems like I make about five blocks a week, so I calculate it will take me seven more weeks to fill all the empty spots. I don’t know that I can keep this project on the ...

My cataract eye surgery went very smoothly, and now both eyes are healing. I am so happy to see colors so much better. Every day is a bright new day! Amazing.

Since The Cousin’s Walk quilt is ready to send out to the machine quilter, I am ready to get out another UFO to work on. It is fun to choose one. That is my task today. Stay tuned.

The indigo and shirting Jane Stickle quilt blocks are being made too. I had trouble with one of them this week. But I will keep on keeping ...

Today I am having cataract surgery on my left eye, as scheduled. The right eye surgery went well two weeks ago, so please pray that today’s procedure goes well too.

The design wall has been actively used this week. I finished the last of the appliquéd flowers on the border of The Cousin’s Walk quilt, and put it up there to take a picture of it. This quilt is too big for my design wall! Here are pictures taken this week before I send it to a long arm quilter:

Today I am having cataract surgery on my right eye. Please pray that it goes well, and that my eyes will be well again soon so I can continue quilting. The surgeon said I should be able to see colors more clearly after surgery, so that should be a good quilting thing! If all goes well, the left eye will be done two weeks from now.

Progress has been made on my two UFOs up on the design wall. I made the remaining four blocks for the log cabin doll quilt. Next, it will be sewn together ...

June is here and my quilt mojo is back, so I’ve been very productive. The log cabin blocks have multiplied to more than 100 blocks. These blocks will finish at 7.5 inches square.

They are awaiting their time on the design wall. There is no room because the design wall has my indigo and shirting Jane Stickle quilt blocks on it - at least the first six rows:

I have made at least five blocks since I last took a photo, and having it on the design wall is motivating me to fill in the gaps ...
