RSC Week #23 Orange for June / Last of Green for May / Not Getting Rid of the Squirrel from Grandma's Red Needle

How come it's June already?! Before we know it's Fall and Christmas again!

Been busy quilting, I know I have missed a lot in blog-land. Hope you all are doing well and enjoying summer, or 'winter' on the Southern hemisphere.

Over the last days, I'm caught up on RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) for May, which was Green. Orange is chosen for June and all blocks done! I have mentioned earlier I prefer to do the RSC blocks beginning of the month. By doing it that way, I can work on anything I fancy the rest of the ...

Free Quilt Block – Treat Yourself & Your Scraps from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

From a Pile of Whites to Whimsical Fish

Lately, I’ve noticed an abundance of white fabric scraps piling up in my stash—more than any other color! While sorting through some focus fabrics from my Quilt Guild for charity blocks, inspiration struck. The playful cat print is the perfect contrast to a sardine-themed quilt block I’ve been wanting to make. Last weekend offered an ideal break between projects, so I took the opportunity for a little creative refresh—a “quilty jolt,” if you will. That spark led to the creation of a free quilt block pattern that’s ...

How to Sew a Fabric Storage Bin – Free Pattern from Patchwork Posse

Sewing your own fabric bin is easy when you use orphan quilt blocks! Learn how to sew them together with a lining.

Sewing your own little fabric bin is a great way to use your quilt blocks. Keeping the quilt blocks the same size is the key to making this tutorial work. Mix and match the blocks, or coordinate them depending on where you will be using the fabric bin.

The lining can be quilted to the batting or use fusible fleece to give it some stiffness and shape. These buckets are great for storing scraps, supplies, notions, or whatever ...

RSC Week #18 - GREEN for May from Grandma's Red Needle

Happy May!

It's the first Saturday in May and new RSC color (Rainbow Scrap Challenge)

Angela at SuperScrappy has chosen GREEN as the color for May.

I spent last weekend catching up on red by making

one half circle

and one quarter circle for 'Eclipse'. Here I have used red and green.

The pattern (layout) is still a bit confusing, but I should not bother or overthink about that at this point! I'll make the blocks and 'worry' about the layout when the time comes! lol

I had sew much fun making two green blocks for Pat Sloan ...

RSC Week 11 - More Yellow from Grandma's Red Needle

Where did the week go? It's already middle March, which means we are heading towards cooler days! Hot and sticky today.

Beginning of the week was wet and thundery. We got almost 4" rain. Not much, but every little drop counts. Mauritius is in drought (it's the rainy season and almost no rain!?) Water restrictions are put in force. Water reservoirs are about 40% or less.

Enough of weather, whatever it is, we can't do anything about it!

Over to sewing!

The RSC color for March is yellow.

I made most of the blocks at the beginning ...

Looking to Spring? from Made By Marney

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, here are some clever paper pieced blocks for spring…

The bolster pillow was created by Ann using my LUCKY LEPRECHAUN block pattern. What a clever idea for a sofa or bench pillow.

This is an example of a table runner using my CLOVER LEAF BLOCK with a LEPRECHAUN BLOCK.

Brigitta from Austria created this adorable place mat using my LEPRECHAUN GNOME pattern.

Here are some of my new patterns ...

All About The Farm from Made By Marney

Growing up in rural Wisconsin on a quaint dairy farm, has given me a love for animals which is very evident in my designing. Lately I’ve had lots of requests from customers for more farm blocks and farm quilts, specifically when they are making my FARMYARD STARS pattern.

Since animal designs are a favorite of mine, this is a happy request. Here are some resent quilt blocks that I think will go great in a farm quilt.

FARMER GIRL and FARMER BOY are sweet blocks, and of course have to have chickens are ...

Mindless Sewing, RSC, and BOM 2024 from Grandma's Red Needle

First of all, to those of you who commented on my previous post; THANK YOU for your comment! I was not able to message all of you, because you were set on 'noreply comment'. I know I haven't had that problem earlier, unless you have changed the setting recently? Or is it Blogger that has a problem/change? Does any of you face the same problem?

Are you done making Christmas items? I am! Almost all Christmas fabrics are stored away for this time, although I do have a Christmas Card Holder (UFO!) I may finish this year (she ...

A Little Show and Tell from Romany Quilting

My friends Robyn, Shirley and myself take turns hosting a lunch every few months. Sadly, their husbands have passed away, but the six of us used to get together in earlier years. Robyn was the hostess this week, so it was us three girls plus my Robin. The last man standing, they joke.

After our tasty lunch and a good catch-up we had some show and tell. Robyn and Shirley both do a little quilting and Shirley had brought along a couple of things to show us. She had recently finished this top featuring nine patches and snowball blocks on ...

The Final Step from Romany Quilting

The final step to quilt making is to stitch on a label. (Although I don't do this on donation quilts). Adding a label is like "signing off" a quilt, giving the details, and I always add one to those quilts I gift to family, and those I'm keeping for myself. I've just finished hand stitching this simple label so Birthday Bouquet is now finished.

Like a lot of my projects, this one had a long gestation period. Way back in the year 2000 I took part in Southern Cross Quilters Birthday Block Swap. We were matched to ...

Lucky Clover Quilt Block from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

I’m back for another Block Mania Tuesday! It’s been such a joy designing and creating all these unique blocks for this year’s Block Mania. November’s theme challenged us to make something you’d find in a market or shop, so I chose to design the Lucky Clover Quilt Block. It features a Purple Shamrock preserved in a cloche.

Why a Plant Themed Quilt Block?

Lately, I’ve fully embraced my inner plant mama! Taking care of my plants has become my favorite way to unwind from life’s stresses, especially since quilting—my beloved hobby—has ...

Sugar Skull Quilt Block from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

It’s spooky season! I couldn’t be more excited that this month’s Block Mania theme aligns perfectly with my latest creative spark. October is all about sweets! Inspired by my love for Halloween and my husband’s Hispanic heritage, I took a unique approach to the theme: the Sugar Skull Quilt Block.

A sugar skull is exactly what it sounds like—a large cube of sugar molded into the shape of a skull, then decorated with bright colors, icing, glitter, and other embellishments.

In Tucson, there’s a massive street parade for Día de los Muertos. I love ...
