Weeks 15 and 16 of Fifteen Minutes to Stitch from High Road Quilter

 I posted week 14 results late, which made me lose track of time in posting things.  This means you get to see two weeks of progress. 

15 Minutes to Stitch Week 15




This week, I finished editing the Dozen Quilts in a Dozen Weeks video. I have posted it here in case you want to watch it. There is a large variety of fun projects and you get to see their relative sizes. 



Also I had posted earlier a YouTube video about the Quilt National Show if you want to see that. I didn't notice until linking it here ...

Frenzy for 15 Minutes to Stitch Week 13 from High Road Quilter


 It's the last week of the quarter, so I have been working at a frenzy pace to meet my quarter goals.  This year, I made 6 projects for Project Quilting, and one of them, the Dresden Plate, wound up being four quilts. I plan to sew those together, potholder style, so it is one quilt, but for now, it is four quilts. I also made some more Pocket Hugs or a tutorial. Since there are so many little projects, I thought it would be nice to be able to say I made 13 projects in 13 weeks. 



This means ...

Relaxing 15 Minutes to Stitch Week 11 from High Road Quilter


This was my week off from the Project Quilting challenges. The new one was announced today. So hard to believe that this is the last theme for the year.

The theme is Happy Handful in which we make something small enough to hold in your hand. My Pocket Hugs would work for that. 

Marsha Cooper wanted more information about these, but she may be a no-reply blogger, so I will answer here. It is not a formal organization or anything, so they can be any size, or shape. Pocket Hugs are little things you can make (or buy) to give ...

Busy 15 Minutes to Stitch Week 10 from High Road Quilter

 This week was Project Quilting Challenge week, with today being the submission date. But since I submitted a quilt earlier in the week, I felt like my "off week" started early, and I have been busy relishing my time off.

I finished a bonus quilt.  I showed both of my quilt finishes in my last two posts.  Then, I worked on making progress on already started quilts. 

 I added some more patches to repair the bunk bed quilt my mother made. counted what still needs to be made for my Lupine and Laughter quilt.



I made more "snake" for my ...

15 Minutes to Stitch Week Seven from High Road Quilter

 There is no project quilting theme this week - the theme is announced every other week. This means there is time to take a break, but the momentum of making the Fire Horse is high, and with the theme being announced the following week, it makes sense to keep the momentum high.

I have been tempted to start lots of quilts. Right now, I am thinking about making a simple sawtooth stars quilt in greens, with an emphasis on teals. I am also thinking about joining a challenge by Reprolover with four patch made with HSTs. I could use the teals ...

15 Minutes to Stitch Week Five from High Road Quilter

 Look at me, posting on time.  This week was a week off from Project Quilting challenge.  The challenge for this upcoming week, is Year of the Horse, which makes me happy. I was hoping that they would do that. I made a horse quilt last year, and even though I was afraid it wouldn't turn out right, tracing a pattern does let me make a horse that looks like a horse.




In this time off, I continued to work on the recently started quilts.  That is the Lupine and Laughter mystery quilt. I had one block done, but I ...

15 Minutes to Stitch Week Four from High Road Quilter




 It is going to take me some practice to remember to post my progress on the 15 Minutes to Stitch challenge every week.  I have been stitching every day though.  

I've shown you some of the quilting from this month already on the blog:

  • The Project quilting challenge #1 where I made An Open Space to Breathe (I originally wrote that as A Quiet Place to Breathe, which is also a good name)
  • The project Quilting challenge #2 where I made Change
  • The bunkbed blanket I am repairing
  • The peacock made with leftovers from the Lupine & Laughter mystery
  • The ...
