I bought a pattern from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

…and I made it!

And HI THERE! I know it’s been a while. Life, and all that. There’s a lot to catch up on and I will be making a few posts here and there. Yes, we have moved into our new home and we are still getting settled. I promise I’ll get you all caught up. But first, I want to talk about patterns:

I have purchased many patterns during my quilting life. I have sold or re-homed many patterns, too. I’m trying my best to not purchase patterns on impulse—and that’s hard ...

Butterfly Garden from Becca's Crazy Projects

I pieced this quilt way back in January (2023). I decided to get it off my to-quilt list. I loaded it up and got quilting.

I picked a fun flower edge-to-edge design. This design came with my machine so I'm not sure who designed it. It is a great all-over design that makes a fun texture. I picked a blue thread that matches the backing fabric.

It isn't easy to see in this photo, but the texture is great!

I've made my binding. Now, I just need to get it attached.

Making the Most of Things from Becca's Crazy Projects

When I got to the end of a roll of batting I had a piece of batting that would work for two charity quilts but I would have to load them a little differently than usual. Usually I load charity quilts with the selvage edges along the rails (so the top rail and the bottom rail on the machine) and I load the quilt top so the sides of the quilt are along those same rails. So the top of the quilt is on my right side and the bottom is on the left. This batting was cutting it close ...

Tool Tips from Becca's Crazy Projects

Today I'd like to talk about some of my favorite and must-have tools. First, a quality pair of snips. These are my favorite. I have two: one with my long arm, and one with my English Paper Piecing bag/kit. I keep mine on a retractable badge holder. That way I can slide the clip onto my shirt collar so my scissors are always handy. I can also slide the clip onto my keyboard tray on the frame.

Next, the humble yard stick. You can pick these up at the home improvement warehouse of your choice, usually for just ...

Making Lemonade from From the Strawberry Patch...

I'm looking on the bright side these days; if I didn't, the whole situation of living in a construction zone would drive me over the edge. I knew that I had to shift the focus to that which I could change for the better. As someone who craves order and tidiness I am faced daily with my biggest enemies: disorder, clutter, chaos and dust; piles and piles of it! My challenge is to deal with all of

It's March... from From the Strawberry Patch...

... and it's coming in like a lamb here today; what's the weather like where you are? Up at my Mom and Dad's in New Hampshire they're buried under snow with more forecast to fall on Saturday. My Dad loves it but my Mom has had enough already! Speaking of my parents, today is their 71st wedding anniversary! This picture was taken a while ago, but you can see how cute they are! Happy Anniversary,

Blueberry Charm from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finally loaded up this simple quilt. Winter lighting is just terrible for photos.

I chose a flower and leaf all-over design for the quilting.

I think it was a great choice for this quilt. This was the first time I used Hobbs 80/20 Cotton Blend Batting and I'm so glad I gave it a try. The texture is great! Good thing, too, since I bought the whole roll.

Trimmed and ready for binding.

This My Little Pony quilt is just delightful! Pieced by Mary for Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

I chose an edge-to-edge quilting design with clouds and rainbows for this one.

This fun little quilt was made using four-patch blocks I had left over from other projects. It's great to combine small, little leftovers into a quilt top. Quilted with a watery texture.

Quilt Leftovers from Becca's Crazy Projects

I pieced a couple tops for Annapolis Quilts for Kids. Both of these were made using the leftovers from other quilts, primarily trimmed from backing fabric after quilting. This one used most of a yard of donated fabric for the alternate blocks and the outer border.

This one includes some string pieced quarter log-cabin blocks alternating with leftover 6.5" blocks. Scrappy with a bunch of movement. Once I get some backing fabric I'll get these quilted up and ready for binding.

Red Letter Day! from From the Strawberry Patch...

Another day, another flimsy; no, actually it's a day to celebrate: here's "Red Letter Day", a completed quilt top at long last! I'd been very, very far behind on this block-of-the-month. This one took some full speed concentration and focused effort but, today, it's together and there's no looking back. This applique block brings me joy- I fussy cut that circle from a charm square, it appears to
