What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Anfang April war es wieder soweit: Ich wurde die Bienen-Königin in unserer Modern Cologne-Bee. Das bedeutet, dass ich mich für Blöcke entscheiden muss, die die anderen fleißigen Bienen für mich nähen sollen.

Diese Entscheidung wird immer schwieriger. Eigentlich war ich schon im Januar die Bienen-Königin - konnte es aber immer weiter hinausschieben bis in den April. Glücklicherweise waren die anderen Bienen sehr flexibel und haben meine Aufschieberitis mitgemacht.

Als ich den Quilt Along von Christa Quilts entdeckt habe, war klar, das wird mein Projekt. 

Zuerst habe ich ein paar Probeblöcke genäht.

Meine ersten Blöcke: 2 Chain Blöcke und 2 Blüten

Our lovely second make in my House Block QAL is here! Say hello to the Three Terraces block. read more

 Der Juli ist bei mir noch kein Urlaubsmonat - ganz im Gegenteil.

Es gab 3 Geburtstage, Dienstreisen, Hochzeitsfeiern und eine Canva-Schulung. Und dazwischen habe ich genäht, damit auch die Projekte vorangehen. Und  ich musste 2 Baby-Quilts planen.

Tatsächlich liegen im Augenblick einige Projekte auf meinem Tisch. Eins haben sie alle gemeinsam: Sie sind genäht aus Resten bzw. aus meinem Stoffvorrat. 

Checkered Garden Quilt

Zusammennähen muss ich noch die Blöcke des Checkered Garden Sew Alongs von Anderea und Paula.

Das Bild gehört eigentlich in den Mai. Da hatte ich den letzten Block fertig genäht. Aber seitdem schiebe ich die Blöcke hin und ...

 Immer wieder zieht es mich zu den dezenten Low Volume Quilts. Sie sind sehr zurückhaltend, aber sie sind auch gleichzeitig elegant und klassisch. Sie fügen sich in ein neutrales Umfeld ein und ergeben dann eine hübsche Einheit.

Low Volume Love

Inzwischen habe ich schon ziemlich viele neutrale Low Volume Quilts gemacht. Sie gefallen mir besonders gut in den hellen Sommermonaten. Bereits 2009 hatte ich einen Low Volume Sampler begonnen, der aber erst viel später fertig wurde. Anderer Low Volume Quilts waren mein Bubbles Quilt, ein Scrappy Quilt und der Lady of the Lake Quilt.

Meine letzten Quilt-Tops habe ich wirklich ...

Instagram – Eine wahre Ideenmaschine

Instagram ist eine echte Ideenmaschine!  Manchmal ploppen interessante Quilts, Muster und Quilt Alongs auf, bei denen ich einfach mitmachen MUSS. Oder Muster, die ich einfach machen MUSS. 

Genauso ist es mir ergangen als ich die Scrappy Meets Thrift Challenge von Taryn entdeckt habe: kleine Blöcke, viel Geschichte und ganz viel kreativer Spielraum. Und das Resultat ist ein neues spannendes Projekt. 

Taryns Welt der antiken Quilts
