Stars of Peace: Let the stitching begin:) from Nestlings By Robin

IT'S HERE!!

After many hours of work
I am beyond excited to bring my
Stars of Peace: Sestercentennial Sampler
quilt pattern to you!
Lots of information in this post
so please read to the end.

I am very proud of my

family's military service

and of all the military members

and their families

that sacrifice much

more than most will ever know.

In honor of those who sacrifice,

I will be highlighting some

not-so-well-known heroes of

the Revolutionary War each month

with the block for that month.

There will also be a bit of history

about the block ...

Less Logs for Christmas 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 from Virtual Quilter

Looks interesting and a bit weird!

A neat and tidy design, but one which looks as though I could have some fun playing with it!

I like the one above …

… and the one below.

The two designs above are both very interesting and would look great on a bed.

The last one for today would look stunning in a lot of different colour combinations.

I love the group photo … being able to see the five designs at a glance is always interesting, but these are a great combination in my never really humble opinion.

Red, White and Green Logs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from Virtual Quilter

Very interesting design … would work in many different combinations.

The second one would also work in many colour combinations.

I like the one above!

Very interesting.

Love the last!

One day I should print off three inch square red white and green quilt designs and hang them on a tree … which means I need another tree … and space to put it!

That is all for this week, but there will be more Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

Good-bye 2024 and Hello 2026 from Nestlings By Robin

That is Not a typo:)

It has been a rough year on so many levels for many people and I don't know about you, but my calm, the balm for my soul is stitching. The slow and steady pull of the thread through fabric calms me in ways I can't fully describe. There is a form of meditation in this glorious art form that I am thankful to have in my life and hope I can entice others to feel as well.

I have been absent a bit now, I know. For those following along, we moved from ...

Red, Black and White 13, 14 from Virtual Quilter

This is as far as I have got with mixing more than two colours in basic 9P blocks … and the results can be stunning if you like the colours!

The half blocks around the edge of the second design are interesting!

Quilt Too Small? from Lotus Cove Quilting

*Red and Blue shown at Durham Orange Quilters meeting, 2022*.

It’s been quite a while since I posted here. I’ll try to catch up, as I HAVE been making quilts. But today’s issue is a quilt that is too small.

In 2022, I finished a queen quilt for my own bed. All Kaffe Fassett fabrics with a bamboo batting. But both of us toss and turn all night and the sateen backing lets the quilt slide everywhere. So I’m adding new blocks to three sides.

Fortunately, old and recent Kaffe fabrics coordinate well. The quilt is ...

Benartex Ambassador Project #3 from Nestlings By Robin

Christmas in July is celebrated by

lots of quilters to get a jump on

their Christmas gift lists, so

I am going to offer 2

Christmas in July patterns

for my Benartex projects!

For project #3 I chose

to work with the new

line, Rhapsody in White,

arriving in shops now.

This line has a lovely

silky feel to it and there

are lots of cute

prints to choose from.

White makes me think of

snowflakes though and how

fun are those little

paper cut ones from

our childhood.

In all honesty, I was never

much good at getting them ...

Benartex Christmas in July 2023 from Nestlings By Robin

Jackie Robinson has

done it again!

A Botanical Season is

a lovely array of

holiday touchstones from

holly to Christmas ornaments.

I used techniques from

my Fabric Collaborations class

to adorn this sweet and

simple table runner

with lovely amaryllis

flower bouquets.

I am in love with

these sweet flowers and the

cute star negative space

at their centers!

The pattern can be found

in my ETSY shop

HERE.

Fun quilting

suggestions included.

Come join the designers

and ambassadors on

July 25th for a peek

at all the upcoming

fabrics.

Firecracker reds from The Academic Quilter

Hello all! I am waving wildly, even if you can't see me. Welcome to mid-July! Yep, summer is going away super fast. A month from today we'll be ramping up for the fall semester. Yikes! I think I just had a moment of panic. Here's hoping it passes quickly, because I just don't have time for that right now.

What better color for a hot and wet July than red? As you may know, red is not my favorite color, and I haven't historically had a lot of red. But I do have some, and ...

Hot and smoky from The Academic Quilter

Hi everyone, from my safe perch inside and away from the smoky air outside. Yes, it has rolled in again, though not as bad as last time around. While I like barbeque that is hot and smoky, I can't say I care for it in the air. Canadian friends who are feeling the brunt of the wildfires, I really feel your pain! I hope those fires are under control soon.

So here we are at the first of July, and I already have some red blocks to show off. Warning, I took all of these pictures just as it ...

Log Cabin Finishes from TheEclecticAbuela

I finally finished up my Log Cabin quilts. They are fun to make, and I have plans for more!

First, a very traditional brown/neutral one.

Brown Log Cabin 95" x 95"

Brown Log Cabin (center detail)

Brown Log Cabin (detail)

Brown Log Cabin (back and binding detail)

For this quilt I used 1.5" strips (finished at 1"). The center red square is a constant fabric which I also used as binding. The back is a brown paint stroke print with a center panel of fruit and foliage (you can just see it in the ...

Red, Black and White 11, 12 from Virtual Quilter

I am trying to break away from pink, purple and green!

This project file has been sitting around being ignored for two years, probably because it is in colors I wouldn’t want to live with. However, strong colours in a dull environment can liven up the surroundings.

I love the second design, but I admit that it would lose a lot of impact if it was in my preferred colour range.

My Go To Color from The Snarky Quilter

You know you use a color a lot in your quilts when a friend hands you a fat quarter and says, I thought of you when I saw this (fill in your favorite color) fabric. In my case, the favorite color is a tossup between red and turquoise.

As a child I was drawn to red, especially for my coats; and as an adult I’ve made a quilt called “I Like Red.” But as I look around my living space I realize that I use turquoise and its neighbors (aqua, teal, etc.) far more than red for decorative sewn ...

Christmas Tree Wall Hanging Tutorial from Tea Rose Home

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree... every year I see fun Christmas tree quilt ideas online and want to make one, but a year passes by so quickly and poof! It is already December. I tried coming up with my own pattern around October. I was sketching and experimenting with fabrics. After a few tries, I came up with this tree pattern. Wouldn't it be so pretty if I made 300 plus blocks and made a quilt with these cute trees? I was looking at several projects on my table and decided not to do that this year. Instead ...

Arabella has a garden from The Academic Quilter

Hello everyone! I hope you have been having a really good week. I'm still very down, but trying to work my way out of it. Our friend Preeti has released a new pattern, and she asked me to test it for her. I was going to say no, but some things happened, and I ended up saying yes. There is a story, but first, here is my version of Preeti's Arabella's Garden pattern:

Well, that's different, isn't it? But wait, there's more! Take a look:

Yes, I ended up making two. Preeti does not ...

Maymont from TheEclecticAbuela

Maymont--A Bonnie Hunter design--80" x 92"

Earlier this summer, I began Maymont, a design by Bonnie Hunter. That post is HERE.

This quilt is a hodge-podge of fun fabrics.


Maymont (fabric detail)

Maymont (fabric detail)

I had so much fun re-visiting some of these fabrics! They make an overall impression, but when you look more closely there is much to find.

I backed it with a favorite floral--to me, these look like the painted roses in Alice. I was fortunate to have a binding fabric that complemented the backing--the shades of color are almost identical!

Positively handsome from The Academic Quilter

Hi all! Every year I forget just how exhausting it is to get ready for a new academic year. How is this possible? I've done this a lot of times, so I should know by now, but somehow, I always leave things for the last minute. This is what I've been doing all week instead of sewing or literally any other fun stuff. I know you'll all understand when I say that I really need more summer. Come back, summer! We need more rest in the sunshine!

Ah, well. I've been trying to finish up the ...

Handsome in red from The Academic Quilter

Hi everyone! How was your week? I'm happy to tell you that my head is a bit better. It helps to stay indoors, away from the nasty allergens outside. Thankfully, it is plenty warm and humid, so I don't mind it so much. But I do hate the treadmill! It's much better to walk outside.

So, I would have shown off this quilt top much sooner today, but Google was acting very strange. It didn't want to upload photos or save things, which seem to be among its primary functions. Anybody else have that happen? Maybe ...
