One Goal Completed and One Not from Podunk Pretties

Hello Quilting Friends! Last night(the wee hours of this morning 12:30ish A.M.) the Lone Star was bound and considered done. Today, I slept in until 7:30, got a cup of decaf, took these pictures, and now I'm writing this post. Today I'll make and add the label then throw her in the washer.

Let me tell you, my little goal list did not go as planned. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were a complete busts. Friday I did get in a little quilting time but not enough to check of anything on my list.

I ...

Finally a Sew Day! from Podunk Pretties

Hello Quilting Friends! Can you believe it's been over a month since I last stepped foot in the Quilting Studio? To be honest it's been more like two months since my last stitch. There's been a couple blog post about playing with fabrics but no stitching. Well I'm happy to say I hemmed a pair of curtains a few days ago and it tickled the quilting bone a bit. So here I am working on this Lone Star again.

There may be one more in the near future. For now I just trying to stay focused ...

Lone Star Quilt Progress from Podunk Pretties

Hello Quilty Friends! Just a quick pop in to share the progress on the Lone Star quilt. It was another busy weeks so I didn't get as much done as I would have liked. Only three of the six strip sets were pieced.

Hopefully this afternoon I can finish the other three and subcut them into strips.

This quilt will be exactly like the last four Lone Stars I made last year. I used EQ8 to help with the color placement. The only difference is the background will be black instead of white.

I'm such a visual person ...

Ridge Top Quilts

It was my first attempt at this start block.

Dorian, my online quilty bestie, patiently helped me through the process.

I admit that I am still not a fan of "Y" seams.

I have never actually finished a Lone Star Quilt.

This quilt block is the end product of a previous Stash Busting ...

December Challenge and Blog Hop from Sew Preeti Quilts

I firmly believe that anyone who has a voice can sing. Whether their singing is pleasant to hear or not is another story altogether. Similarly, I can make a quilt with any group of colors. Will that grouping be aesthetically appealing? That depends on the design.

December Challenge!

Four times a year when the challenge is combined with a blog hop, we the Island Batik ambassadors are required to use one of the new fabric collections, assigned to us. Further we are directed to use as many fabrics (from the collection) as possible.

I was assigned the Chickadee Fabric Collection ...

Lone Star Quilt from Let's Begin Sewing

A lone star quilt has long been on my bucket list of quilts to make. When I signed up for Sarah Bond 's workshop that was about variations with a lone star block, I decided to stick with the traditional pattern.

I have lately been experimenting with colors I normally would not work with which includes darker backgrounds, non primary colors, hues and shades I rarely see in my Instagram feed. One of the best ways to pick these colors is that they are the ones that are usually not sold out at a fabric store. :)

Anyway for this quilt ...

Diamond Star Quilts - Book Review + Giveaway from Sew Preeti Quilts

For some time I had this voice inside me goading me, chiding me.
Shouldn't you try something more advanced?
Isn't it time to add to your skills?
How about attempting something that actually challenges you?

And every time I banished it. Shoo away.
It was comfortable. I am enjoying the popularity of the sisters, basking in the adulation of the Picket Star Blocks and relishing the warmth of comments for Mercyful Quilts.

Then I got an email. The voice had evolved. It was harder to ignore.
Barbara Cline asked me if I'd be interested in reviewing her ...
