All the Trimmings Mystery Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee


Love a good Quilt Along ... the Fat Quarter Shop hosted the "All the Trimmings" Mystery in 2021 and it was so much fun.  I finished it last year in time for my sister Rayna's Christmas Present. This year, I will be gifting Sister Phyllis the 2022 Christmas Time Quilt for her October birthday (99% complete).

Are you one of those who buys FQ Bundles, then hates to break them open?  That's me!  This bundle was from 2009 by Sandy Gervais, for Moda, called Crazy Eights.  I was so happy to be able to finally use the bundle and ...

Sweet Persimmons from Nestlings By Robin

I have never had a persimmon 
and maybe I should try 
one now that I have named 
a quilt after them:)
New in the November
issue of AQ Magazine
meet Sweet Persimmons.
This sweet design started 
out in a 30s rendition.

Once I started thinking in Autumn
colors, I came up with this palette.
Still really like it and may have
to put this grouping to work
in another project!

Looks great, right?

Sometimes I can't see past my 
own vision but I also had 
this Sandy Gervais print sitting
around that I had been wanting 
to use in ...

An autumn finish for the Fat Quarter Flourish Quilt Parade from Carried Away Quilting

It’s September 30, the day we parade our completed Fat Quarter Flourish quilt tops! I hope you had a chance to join My Timeless Day and me for this fun project.


I sewed up an autumn version of Fat Quarter Flourish, featuring splendid fall fabrics by Lori Holt and Sandy Gervais (Riley Blake). My version is available as a kit from My Timeless Day.  Won't this make a lovely addition to my Thanksgiving table?


I had hoped to have mine all quilted and bound by the time September 30 rolled around, but life seemed to get in the ...

Fat Quarter Flourish quilt parade from Carried Away Quilting


Hello quilting friends! I’m teaming up with Allison Cotton, owner of My Timeless Day quilt shop in Canton, SD, to host a virtual quilt parade. We’re using my pattern, Fat Quarter Flourish, and we hope you’ll join the fun.


What’s a quilt parade?  Well, it’s similar to a sew along, but it only has one deadline . . .  the finish! We’ll give you plenty of time to select your fabrics and piece your top. Then we’ll ask you to share a photo of your finished top either on Instagram or on Facebook (or both) using ...
