What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I teased with this picture of stacked stars in a previous post. This quilt is a welcome transition from all those bright fabrics used when making Frank. This is a long-abandoned project that needed to be brought to the front burner. I am inspired by Country Threads and their "Dirty Dozen" challenge this year. (The premise: identify 12 UFOs and give each a unique number from 1-12. Each month a

Welcome to Pin It! 

I’ve been holding off for the right moment to share this quilt, and since it’s featured in this month’s issue of Curated Quilts (which has a theme of “Well Said”, featuring quilts that include words or have a message), now seems like a good time.

It’s no secret that I’m totally into dinosaurs—why, I even have two velociraptors for pets.

I was giving out dinosaur temporary tattoos at an event, and someone wanted to know if I’d mind terribly if she asked for four. She had five children, and four sons, and they ...

Der erste Monat beim neuen 6 Köpfe 12 Blöcke Quilt Along - Skill Builder - ist fast rum und ich habe es gerade noch rechtzeitig geschafft meinen Merry Kite Block zu nähen. Die Anleitung zu diesem schönen Block gab es zu Beginn des Monats auf Gesines Blog 'allie an me'

It all started innocently enough (don't all great adventures?), I was having lunch with Quiltkeemosabe and she mentioned to me that she had been playing with Deb Tucker's new Shaded Nine Patch technique sheet. "Do you have it yet?" she asked. That's all it took. No, I didn't have it, but now I knew that she did; and, of course, I wanted to play too! I had one of these technique sheets in my

One-Patch Quilts (Twenty to Make)

This little book - One-Patch Quilts (Twenty to Make) by Carolyn Forster - caught my eye at the Melbourne Quilt Convention in April. At the time I was working on my Scrappy Apple ...

Dieses Jahr stehen bei mir spannende Projekte an! Eines davon ist die Einladung durch Sandra / Hohenbrunner Quilterin und Heidi / Libellenquilts zu einer Round Robin Bee. Dabei wird ein individueller Starterblock samt Projektbuch ein Jahr lang auf Reisen zu allen weiteren 11 Teilnehmerinnen geschickt und am Ende kommt ein fertiges Quilttop - oder wie bei mir - eine Menge Patchworkblöcke zurück.

Man wird nur durch einige Bilder, die eventuell Teilausschnitte des Gemachten zeigen, heiß gegrillt.... Also ein ...

Der erste Quilt des Jahres 2018 ist fertig! 2018 soll ja das Jahr der Ufo-Fertigstellung werden. Und hier ist das erste Ufo. Begonnen wurde der Quilt als Bee-Quilt im Juni 2017. Die To Be a Bee Ladies haben fleissig die kleinen Quadrate aneinander genäht. Gequiltet zwischen den Jahren und jetzt ist schon das Binding dran. Ich kann es gar nicht glauben! Sogar das Binding ist dran und tatsächlich von mir selber dran genäht!

The first quilt of 2018 is finished! 2018 is supposed to be the year of finishing my quilts. This quilt  was started in June 2017. The ladies ...
