September? Really? from Buzzing and Bumbling

New! Give Thanks

I can't believe it is September and fall begins on Thursday! How did that happen? I have been super busy giving presentations, teaching classes, and working on rethinking my patterns. I am going bigger, better, clearer, and with lots of pictures. That means that I have to remake the quilt to not only evaluate the pattern, but to take photos at every step. Not a quick thing to do!

New! Let It Snow!

The renovation is coming along. My sewing room is almost finished, but we still have the cutting table to do and the baseboards ...

More Fun at the NC Mountain State Fair from From My Carolina Home

More fun at the NC Mountain State Fair began with the crafting competitions. I worked so long on this set of crewel ornaments last fall, and was thrilled to find them hanging in the crafting competition area with a red second place ribbon.

This was baby animals day, and we were lucky to get to the Mooternity Ward mere moments after the birth of this adorable little guy. Mom was busily licking him clean, and he was struggling to stand just a few minutes later. We were told that the little ones usually manage to stand between 30 minutes and ...

taking the plunge . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

This past year has been a year of taking breaks. Breaks from my blog, breaks from a lot of Nook time . . . and breaks from the guild. I took the entire last year off from guild (our guild year runs from September through August), and all of the 'serving' that goes with it! I tried to take a break from just the serving, but quickly saw that it needed to be an "all or nothing" thing.

That being said, the first meeting of the 2016-2017 guild year was last Thursday, and there was a national guest speaker.

Summer Solstice Quilt Along {Top Finished!} + GIVEAWAY - Win 5 of My Quilt Patterns! from Busy Hands Quilts

Can I just say, YES!

Summer Solstice is perhaps the most beautiful quilt I've ever made - right up there with GRAVITY!

Thank you sincerely to all of you who encouraged me to take the time to add a border to Summer Solstice. The borders made all the difference! I also decided to add sashing between the blocks, and that went a long way in calming down the madness.

This quilt was made as part of the Summer Solstice Quilt Along designed by Melissa at Happy Quilting. The blocks are 24" with 3" sashing and three 3" borders for a ...

Rosewood Lane {Lori's Quilt in My Pattern!} + Win This Pattern! from Busy Hands Quilts

Somewhere I came across this Rosewood Lane quilt made by Lori. My apologies, Lori, I do not remember where I saw it to give you credit! This shows the pattern works well with a couple of prints mixed with a few solids.

Rosewood Lane is available for purchase in my shop! The pattern includes instructions for 6 sizes from wall hanging to king and uses fat quarters. It would also be easy to substitute yardage.

Hill N Hollow Quilt Guild from Butterfly Threads

Last week I took this tiny plane to Springfield, Missouri. I then rented a car and drove 2.5 hours to Mountain Home, Arkansas. I had a fun filled week of workshops and guild presentations planned.

These are some of the sweet quilters that attended the first day of workshops when we made the Under The Mistletoe pattern.

It also happened to be my 50th birthday, so they gave me a cake and sang to me. I did mention how sweet they were right? Such a fun bunch!

And look what a great job they did! One person made a ...

Downtown Houses – Block 7 with a pattern from France Nadeau

Downtown Houses block 7 - pattern at francenadeau.com

I find this house whimsical with the vine growing on the front door and the roof. Because of this vine, and despite the dark and traditional burgundy bricks of the wall, the house has a joyous air. The garden also reflects this duality between seriousness and amusement: paved but curved walkway, symmetrical but dotty bushes, straight line of flowers along the wall but flowers scattered on the grass.

The pattern is available in French and in English in my Craftsy Pattern Store. This pattern has 7 pages and includes instructions about cutting the appliques, a guide for positioning the appliques ...

Abstract Triangles {Pattern Release} from Factotum of Arts

It has been a long time coming, but I have finally started to finish off a few patterns that I had planned to release over the summer.

abstracttriangles1

The first pattern, I am releasing is “Abstract Triangles”. This is the first of three in the series, with the other two being released in November. This design is one of my favorites. It was inspired by the Bauhaus art movement and by succulents. The pattern is a little different as it combines some exact measurements with some “free” piecing (no measurements provided, but instructions on how to trim). This pillow or mini ...

Single Rose Cards – Made with Crafted Appliqué from France Nadeau

Single Rose Cards - made with crafted appliqué - francenadeau.com

While making the Single Rose Mini Mini Quilts with Lara’s Crafted Appliqué method (Buzzin Bumble), it occurred to me that those roses would make beautiful cards. I have various pre-cut cardboard cards and I found two in the right colors and sizes. With the Crafted Appliqué method, it was easy to sew the flowers unto the cards (with my sewing machine), as all the appliqué pieces stayed well into place while I was sewing. Needless to say that I can not use pins with cardboard. Easy and fast.

Strips Make Quick Work! from Heart Desire Creations

This is my second quilt with this fabric line. The first was gifted and my guess this one will go into my quilt collection or may very well be a gift to someone in the future.

img_0760-large

I started out by cutting 2 1/2″ strips using my Big Kick Pro. I used to be such a snob about these cutting machines, but now eat my words. Not only do they make quick work of what can sometimes be a tedious chore, they make totally accurate cuts! No more slipping an eighth of an inch and saying not so nice words ...
