Fall Quilts, Pillows and Wreath from Loose Threads

                                           

I’m slowly bringing out the fall quilts and decorations.  They probably won’t all come out this year, but that’s ok.   I have more fall and Christmas decorations than anything else, so I’m bringing out my favorites first. 

This quilt will go on my guest room bed.  That center block was an orphan block from another quilt I started.  It might have been a block from the book Old Voices New Impressions.   It looked like fall, so I added some squares and half square triangles and a border.

Catching Up from Loose Threads

I didn't mean to stay away this long.   If you read my April 1 post, I'd helped move part of a bookcase upstairs.   The pain from that has gone from bad to worse.   I've had x-rays twice and an MRI.   Today I start physical therapy - 8 weeks 2-3 times a week.   I've twisted and pulled things in my back and legs that I can't fix.   If I sit too long, it's getting harder and harder to stand.  Hopefully they can help me figure out what to do.

Drunkard’s Path quilt using interfacing from Pieced Brain

Drunkard’s Path quilt using interfacing

Make a Drunkard’s Path quilt using interfacing for a quick alternative to the slow traditional process of curved sewing! Check out a couple of projects I made with it: nope, I am not making money on this post – just showing you a product that I liked working with and that can be a great way to tackle projects that are a bit more involved to make when using traditional curved piecing.

I made this quilt a few summers ago using a Moda Fabrics charm pack (5″ squares) and yardage of a light cream fabric for the background. I love ...
