What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Wie in jedem Jahr gibt es gute Vorsätze und Pläne für das Neue Jahr.

Sprappy 2021

Mir hat das scrappige Thema im letzten Jahr sehr gut gefallen und das werde ich mit ins Neue Jahr nehmen. Aus meinen Stoffresten mache ich weiter Quilts und Kissen. Es macht mir Spaß die Reste zu einem besonderen Teil zu verarbeiten. Ich werde mir nicht verbieten neue Stoffe zu kaufen, aber es werden wohl nur ausgesuchte Stoffe sein und neutrale Hintergrundstoffe.

I liked the scrappy topic of last year and therefore I will follow that scheme again. I want to make scrappy pillows and ...

I agreed to do an edit on a pattern and then to make a pattern to test for someone too.  I got the edited pattern back to the person and that was fine.  Then yesterday I was putting the blade to my food processor away and sliced the heck out of my thumb.  Of course it is the thumb on my right hand too, my cutting and hand sewing hand!!!  I will show you the cut but at the end of the post, just

 Karen fragte nach Testern für ihr neues Muster GeoOptics. Das ist ein total interessantes Log Cabin Layout. Log Cabin stand schon sehr lange auf meiner To-Do-Liste, also keine Frage, dass ich es testen wollte. Karen kenne ich übrigens aus der To be A Bee (Randersacker)-Gruppe...

Schaut euch das Ergebnis an: ist das nicht toll geworden? Ich musste einfach mit dem Ergebnis anfangen!

Karen asked for testers of her new pattern GeoOptics and I was totally excited to be part of the testing  team. A log cabin has been on my to do list for ages and I was ...

Early in September, Shannon Fraser of Shannon Fraser Designs put out a call for testers for the new pattern she'd be releasing on October 1: Shattered Star. I haven't been able to test any patterns lately because of work - the deadlines are typically pretty tight so I always had to say no.

However, when Shannon reached out and I saw the design, I just had to do it! I knew it would be very difficult for me to commit to testing a full size quilt, but she had so many options for her new pattern, I figured I ...

I recently had the pleasure to pattern test for Pitchers Boutique.   I chose the Spartan Helmet.   I thought I could make it into a cushion cover for my son.   The pattern was awesome and went together very well.   I love to paperpiece and this pattern was an easy one.   I finished the whole block and realized only after taking a photo that I had actually missed a piece.   I ripped out

One of the upsides of self-isolating ?! My agenda became very light for this Spring ;-) So when Julie @builtaquilt asked me if I was willing to test her new pattern I was happy to agree ! I chose the Baby size option. I know I know ... the easiest choice when testing a pattern ... ;-)

Un des bons côtés du confinement ?! Mon agenda s'est bien allégé pour ce printemps ;-) Donc quand Julie @builtaquilt m'a demandé si j'étais disposée à tester son nouveau modèle, j'ai été ravie d'accepter. J'ai choisi l'option Baby quilt. Je sais, je sais ... le ...

We're staying home to stop the spread of this virus, but we can still share the love of quilting with friends all around the world. Today is the final day of the hop.

not a hint of green

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky to have the opportunity to test out Jessica's newest pattern, the Patchwork Tea Quilt. I made one block, which was lots of fun! I plan to make more blocks to add to it down the road.

My friend Jayne over at Twiggy and Opal introduced a new pattern today, and I must say it's a winner! I was lucky to get to test it out. Here is my version of the baby quilt size, ready to be quilted and bound.....

I have a little bit of this and a little bit of that to catch you up with.   We are all settling back into a normal routine now that Finn is home.   He and Cole and he and Chris are setting in to their old routines. On top of this, I trimmed up the Shooting Stars quilt, with some help of course. I don't think I have shared this quilt yet either.   I need to get the binding on
