AHIQ Palette Challenge Finished from Fret Not Yourself

Political correctness is not wrong, it is merely unfashionable. As the British broadcaster James O’Brien put it to those who resent having to suppress their offensive thoughts: “Where would you like your sewage? In the pipes underground or flowing in the streets?”

Finished. Just a bit late but now I can move to the next prompt with a "clear conscience." The hardest part was deciding to only work from the sky.

My pile had many bright scraps but the softer, grayed ones better matched the photo... IMO. Although the pinks are the ...

Sudden Attack Of Cute from Wedding Dress Blue

The cleanout of last week brought so many potential projects out of hiding, but this one rose above the others.

A few small panels, 10 in all. Not necessarily my style, but, in what I can only describe as a sudden attack of cute, I HAD to make something with them.

It turns out that it will be TWO somethings. Watch here for updates, soon!

Mini Make from Wedding Dress Blue

From time to time a mini quilt is just what a person needs in their life.

And a little hand quilting, too.

It makes a quick and satisfying finish. In this case 14″ square.

QUICK TUTORIAL: Trash Quilt from Wedding Dress Blue

My first version was called the Trash Quilt, because I literally found the fabric in a trash can at church. I tried to rename it, but the first one stuck!

This is a great pattern for scraps, or you could use fat quarters. If the fat quarters are perfectly cut, you will need 16 of them. If they are a little short, add a few more to make up for it.

TRASH QUILT

60-1/2″ x 80-1/2″

MATERIALS

384 3″ x 5-1/2″ rectangles (Have fun with colors and possibilities. This is a great time to experiment)

Another Quick Finish from Wedding Dress Blue

My sister-in-law is a graduate of the University of Georgia. Sort of a big deal.

And she “needed” a quilt. It is the same design as the recent “trash quilt”: rectangles 3″ x 5-1/2″.

YAY for a (last minute) finish!

ps– I stitched down the binding as we traveled to visit her and I had to take the pictures in a hotel hallway.

Finally Picking a Palette from Fret Not Yourself

It is the randomness of books, of taste and curiosity that ensures libraries remain a place where a broad cross-section of society can drop in, wander, browse, and leave when they like.

~Andrew Pettegree in The Library

Quilting

Well, not exactly choosing one... I just hadn't worked on my idea. Since Kaja proposed Picking a Palette this photo has been in my mind. The Navaho know it as the Sacred Mountain to the East. We climbed therein years past. The Great Sand Dunes National Park sits along the southwestern side. Snow usually lingers throughout the year making beautiful displays ...

One More Scrappy One from Wedding Dress Blue

I think this will be it for a while.

This quilt has a number of blocks stitched by children who are just learning to sew. Some of the seam allowances and perhaps some of the color choices are not quite standard, but they are made with the skill and love the children have to offer.

And it is finished and ready for donation.

And that is a very good thing.

Quick Baby Quilt from Wedding Dress Blue

I got a handy pile of scraps just as a co-worker got a new grandbaby.

Some became 4-patch blocks using 2-1/2″ squares and some background fabric.

The rest became 4-1/2″ squares.

A total of 81 blocks became a 36″ quilt.

And ta-dah! A quick baby quilt.

I enjoy the unexpected color combination. Something interesting to look at. It will be delivered next week.

SCRAPPY ROUNDABOUT from Kwilty Pleasures

I was cleaning up my sewing room and came across this

scrappy book full of wonderful patterns.

And when I say...I was cleaning up...

that was summer 2021!

I found a pattern called Roundabout...that uses 2 1/2 x 5" pieces.

That means, to me, get into my charm stash

and scraps and get something made.

Sometimes I just need a simple and fast make!

(Fast is relative...as this was all decided in 2021

and its now 2022)

I have over 70 "hoarded" charm packs!

and....

How about this incredible find!

And Tiddly Winks may have been ...

Finding Something Special from Wedding Dress Blue

Saturday morning Husband and I visited a few yard sales. At the very first one, I spotted something nearly too good to be true.

Really?! ONE DOLLAR?!

“Yes,” said the woman running the sale. “My grandmother always said it was her mother’s. It is 100 years old.”

It isn’t 100 years old. But it might be 70 or 80 years old.

In remarkably good condition, except a few popped seams.

I fixed those up with tiny stitches and then faced a daunting decision: To wash or not to wash.

Wash!

And there was a good reason why.

Finished ...

LORAINE COUNTY PIECEMAKERS GO PLAIDISH! from Kwilty Pleasures

In May, I was invited to provide a workshop for

the Loraine County Piecemakers Guild.

My favorite quilt and an easy all day sew-in would be

The Plaidish Quilt by Erica Jackman.

I asked Erica aka Kitchen Table Quilting

for permission to teach her pattern.

I was staying near Cleveland in Wellington, OH

at a lovely B&B, formerly a Funeral Home.

No haunts were noted and the owners were a lovely retired couple.

Then the workshop (and trunk show) was held

in a beautiful lodge near Oberlin called

The Lodge of New Russia Township.

I brought both my Plaidish ...

Trash Quilt from Wedding Dress Blue

I don’t mean that I don’t like the quilt, or that I am going to throw it in the trash, but that is where I found it.

Our family helps clean our congregation meeting house from time to time to prepare the building for sabbath worship services. Apparently, an activity had been held in the building and there was a pile of (more than just) scraps in a trash can.

After reviewing the fabric, I settled on rectangles 3″ x5-1/2″ as the best use of fabric. In all, 112 rectangles were needed.

These were sewn into pairs ...

Green Crumb Quilt COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

I am so pleased at the way this quilt turned out.

Crumb piecing was mostly new for me and I got braver and more creative as it went along, but the blocks seem to blend together pretty well.

THIS TUTORIAL helped with the tilted setting.

The quilt finishes at 55″ square.

A Lot Going On from Wedding Dress Blue

Well, at least there is a lot going on everywhere except in the sewing room. The last month of school is always a busy. Good busy. But very busy.

So, not a lot of sewing. But a little binding. I want to finish the green crumb quilt by the end of the week.

With summer coming on it will be nice to spend hot afternoons in my cool basement room stitching up some fun.
