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 ...

Creativity this week... photo transfer of my painting onto fabric, hand stitches on top from Not Afraid of Color

Good to know my creativity is still here, whether you're making something or recharging, focused or distracted, it's always here waiting for us.

This week Project Quilting's prompt was opposite colors on the color wheel. I had in mind using golden yellow and lavender with applique of a close up tulip.

I got out my watercolor paint palette from Derwent and just painted from the pretty pan colors to warm up, using one round brush, a 6" square paper, and white ink pen

OH! I have to go with these colors! When I began to run out ...

Quilt Reveal: Orange Complements Blue Flower from High Road Quilter

The theme for the Project Quilting challenge this week is "My Complements". We need to use complementary colors in our project.

My last project turned out to be much bigger than could be completed in a week, I decided to make a potholder quilt, and managed to finish one "potholder" in time for the challenge, but that left three more to finish in my off week. (An off week is the week between the challenge weeks). I already had projects to work on during the off week, so this just added to the load. By the way, I consider the ...

15 Minutes to Stitch and 100 Days of Index Cards from High Road Quilter

Continuing more of the same may sound boring, but it has been a fun and exciting quilting week. I have continued making little pieces of art on index cards.

I have chosen background fabrics and finished sewing down the Dresden Plates. I've chosen the backings and bindings for each of the plates, which I needed to piece.

I still need to decide whether I want to use the sashing fabrics. I thought about appliquing the sashing to the quilts, but that might be a lot of work, so maybe I should just sash two blocks, which will be a ...

Creativity Saturday: Reading thru the ages phone/camera bag from Not Afraid of Color

I've been a bit distracted this week.... but managed to finish the Project Quilting challenge

(Of another era) https://www.kimlapacek.com/project-quilting

The distraction was this pup, who came into our lives and home Sunday from a ranch in Colorado

Dewi, which means beloved in Celtic, is just over a year and a half years old and I've never been so supervised in my life! He is a lovely companion even into the studio which is boring to him

"I'll be here napping if you need snoopervision mama"

so I started the project with one idea ...

Quilt Reveal: Year of the Fire Horse from High Road Quilter

The theme for the Project Quilting Challenge for this week is Year of the Horse. This quilt must be started and finished in one week. This theme made me happy because I had a lot of fun making the horse quilt last year, and the mythical creature quilt.

The rule is to find inspiration from the turn of the year, in the animal, in our hopes and desires for the near future. I looked up some information about the Chinese zodiac, and decided that I needed to make my horse red, to ward off misfortune and invite blessings.

The Horse ...

Project quilting the prompt :Horses My photo on a tote! from Not Afraid of Color

The prompt for Project quilting this week, and we had one week to make something from is

Horses

I take a lot of photos on my daily walks, and visit this small ranch often... I took this photo

so I printed it onto fabric, adding in prismacolor pencil here and there on the printed fabric and started

I had a brilliant sky fabric scrap to go with the rocks, horses, SW design fabrics and began designing

I knew I wanted a tote bag.

I sewed the outsides of the tote (then 15 X 16" approx), layered it with lining and ...

Creativity this week in January.... plaid portfolio from Not Afraid of Color

For this week's creativity round up I present

"Plaid Coat" about 13" X 14"

Project quilting prompt was plaid . What's a Scottish Dog supposed to wear if not plaid?

I saw a few renditions of scotty images, and

I'll share a few pics as I tell you about making it

I often need to transport cut blocks to the sewing table so I like a portfolio with flannel to drive them over to the machine

lavender flannel on the back

I used the cardboard insert from my recent calendar as a stabilizer this time

I have another ...

Quilt Reveal: Change from High Road Quilter

The theme for the Project Quilting challenge this week is Plaid. That made me think about a pair of pajamas that I had relegated to the sewing room. I thought I could make a tiny wonky (in a good way) handmade quilt, like Zak Foster and others make.

Then I came across a quote on Instagram that caught my eye:

Change is made like a quilt: piece by piece together.

I really liked it, and it is short so I decided to embroider it on my little quilt. I really enjoyed the handwork on my last week's entry, so ...

Project Quilting 17.1 Challenge - A Clean Slate from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome to the first challenge of Project Quilting for the year. The theme is a clean slate and should probably include some white.

Here is my thinking process - a clean slate reminded me of a blank page - nothing on it yet, full of possibilities. However for many artists, a blank page is not always a good thing. It can lead to tension and indecision - what to do? how to do it? where to start?

Filling the blank page

I was going through my email (to get rid of some of those 100s of unread email) and went down ...

Quilt Reveal: Open Space to Breathe from High Road Quilter

The theme for the first Project Quilting challenge of the year 2026 is "A Clean Slate". I don't remember other challenges being based on Pantone Color of the Year, but this week's challenge is inspired by Cloud Dancer. I have mixed feelings about this color. It is plain and boring and more of a background color. Also hiding our heads in the clouds doesn't seem like the right thing to do this year.

But as I read on the blog post, it says "the choice is at heart an open place to breathe and let creativity sing ...

Best of 2025 from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to the Best of 2025 post. The annual linking party is hosted by Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs. Thanks Cheryl!

I'm very ambivalent about what I accomplished this year, so I hope that you'll oblige me as I review and see how I did!

2025: Year in Review from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. I’m writing before we leave the RV park this morning, so I’ll have to tell you about today’s drive in tomorrow’s post. When I left you yesterday, we were preparing to head over to a nearby Mexican restaurant for margaritas and dinner. As it turned out, the restaurant was a sort of a fast food place with drive-thru service only. We weren’t up for that, and so we went to a different place across the street called “Wood Almond.” It turned out to be a good choice with some unusual items ...

Reclaiming Fallen Feathers from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome! Today is a special post for Project Quilting (PQ) 16.5, "Follow Your Arrow". This little FMQ (free motion quilted) piece recalls Icarus' flight.

Free Motion Mavericks for March 20th

Please note that I'm not able to host Free Motion Mavericks this week, so the linking party is below. Hubby was operated but is doing quite well. Thanks!

Note: It would seem that I'm still having problems with dates and time

My creative week with a finished challenge piece and a finished top for another challenge from Not Afraid of Color

For this week, I'll start with my entry into the Project Quilting prompt to "button it up"

I pulled out the button box for inspiration and the yellow scrap box. I knew I wanted to make a sculpture of sorts, a 3-D box maybe....

starting with this small piece that looks painted

Three pieces of peltex stabilizer cut 3" X 5" and placed them with a small space for folding.

glued the fabric over edges

For lining, I put a slightly smaller strip then pulled the yellow fabric over to cover the raw edges and quilted it.

folded it ...

Quilt Reveal: Ruby Buttons from High Road Quilter

I managed to make this week's Project Quilting Challenge submission early. The deadline is Sunday at noon central, but here it is, Saturday evening, and I already have the quilt done. It is also a proper quilt with lots of pieces, so not a small coaster.

The theme of this week's challenge is to make something that is the color of your birthstone, My birthstone is ruby, so it was easy idea for me to make a quilt for my red and white quilt collection.

I wanted to make a quilt with little red squares. I sewed them ...

my creative week -- SAHRR, PQ and RSC (acronyms week) from Not Afraid of Color

Welcome to this week's creativity round-up! I have four projects to share this week so on with the show!

Starting with project quilting's prompt, "inspired by your birthstone color" For me it's

"emerald"

I started with collecting inspiration photos online, and printing them onto one sheet of paper.

see the images printed out there on the table?

if I had more than one week for this (and didn't start 4 days in! lol) I might have done the emerald city, or a palm frond. I cut out 3 paper hearts, taped them together, and cut the ...
