There’s a Bat in the Belfry OBW #89
from If These Threads Could Talk
I have been on a journey this year to see how many stars and shapes I can place in a One Block Wonder.
I found this great fabric from Timeless Treasures called “Last Dance”. The Skeletons are about 6 1/2″ tall.
Last Dance made some great octagons. I wanted to add a bat in my design also.
My friend and fellow Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor Beth Sidley designs great patterns. I love Moonlight Flight and decided to use her bat for my quilt. You can purchase Moonlight Flight from her Etsy ...

Journeys Month 7 – Liberty Star
from If These Threads Could Talk
Welcome to Stitchin Heaven’s Journey BOM – Month 7 Liberty Star. This month, you will be using the 12” markings on the Rapid Fire® Lemoyne Star tool, but you will be working with them as quarters that will be trimmed to 6½” using your Tucker Trimmer 1 before you sew them into the quilt.
Note: Some of your strip sizes are in sixteenths of an inch. These are necessary in order to equally divide the diamond into three sections. To cut the sixteenth of an inch you will see that after the sixteenth measurement there is a 1¼ ...

LeMoyne Star Quilt Finished
from Fret Not Yourself
"The evil that is inside men is at the last a matter for men to control.
The responsibility and the hope and the promise are in your hands - your hands and
the hands of the children of all men on this earth.
The future cannot blame the present, just as the present cannot blame the past.
The hope is always here, always alive,
but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world."

LeMoyne Star Quilting Progress
from Fret Not Yourself
You do not write your life with words. You write it with actions. What you think is not important.
It is only important what you do.
~ Patrick Ness in A Monster Calls
Quilting
I haven't moved quickly but at least the quilt is in progress. I wanted a quilting design that honored the piecing, didn't have many starts and stops {burying threads takes so much time}, and was less densely quilted than usual for me. My friend, Marty, spent an hour with me on the phone discussing how to quilt this. We used FaceTime to see exactly what ...

Using the Parts Department to Complete a Quilt Top
from Fret Not Yourself
"Voting versus protest; politics and participation versus civil disobedience and direct action.
This is not an either/or; this is a both/and.
To bring about real change we both have to highlight a problem
and make people in power uncomfortable,
but we also have to translate that into practical solutions and laws that can be implemented
and we can monitor and make sure we're following up on.
~President Barak Obama

Sashing was the next decision. I laid out four choices but secretly thought one of the darkest {vertical} would work best. Instead, that dark grey on the ...

LeMoyne Stars
from Fret Not Yourself
"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at its testing point.'
~ C. S. Lewis
~ C. S. Lewis
With the chunks are out of the way, I'm ready to attack the scrap bag. Still enthused with diamonds, I cut newspaper foundation into five-inch wide diamonds to make LeMoyne Stars. To add some cohesion each started with one common fabric at the widest point of the diamond.
The idea to make a ring inside the star came from several sources. First, traditional Lone Stars {you recall how the tiny diamonds make a circle of each round.} Since ... read more

Brilliant Stars
from Ann Quilts
Wow. This quilt is just wow. It's one of the wow-iest quilts I've worked on. I love it.
Here's how the owner came to acquire it:
I don’t collect quilts or even know how to use a sewing machine. I just really liked the quilt colors and patterns.....when I saw it in an antique mall in Columbia, MO (I honestly love Orange as a color). So much so, that after leaving without it I regretted it. The following Monday I was back at work and just called them on a whim and made them an ... read more

Island Batik’s “A Piece Of” Blog Hop
from If These Threads Could Talk
The fabrics shown in this post were given to me by Island Batik.
Last January Island Batik gave me a secret bundle to hold onto till November, it was Tropical Escape shown above. I sat and looking at the bundle of gorgeous fabrics, waiting for them to talk to me. The goal is for me to introduce the Tropical Escape fabric line by making a quilt showcasing as many of the 20 fabrics as possible.
I decided to use Studio 180 Design’s BlockBuster pattern #29 Pointsettia. This block requires the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star, Split Rects and ...

The Organized Quilter
from Repro Quilt Lover
Let me begin by saying this is an aspirational post. I am not an organized quilter or an organized anything, really. But, I need an organized system to accomplish what makes me happy; maybe you can relate.
I am going to assume if you are reading this blog you like to quilt. And, therefore, are probably a creative person — a “creative type.” Generally, we creative types are free spirits, which doesn’t translate well into focus, planning and organization. But, if I give in to the free spirit and let it run my days, those days are ruled by a ...
