So much fabric and so many more blocks to go. I don't know if I'll finish it this time around but it is nice to pick up the pieces and keep moving.
The background is quilted with this flower motif.
The dress is quilted with a variegated thread to make these swirls. I added some detail to the lily.The swirls make their way up the bodice.Nothing fancy for the gavel ... read more

Today’s prompt is Show Us Your Fabric! I’m not super organized but I have a basic plan. And I try to keep it up — although this means a general clear up about every few months. So this is another honest craft room post, my dear friends! I keep my grunge, ombres, some solids and …

So for the past couple weeks, I've been finishing up a table runner I cut out late in October. I used the large hexagon template in Marti Michell's Set G (template #42 - 2" finished on each edge) and a pack of 5" Moda holiday charm squares ...

Part 3
Each block got set on point. These blocks measure 17.5" by 17.5".Then the block sashing.
Then this happened. I'm not going to point it out. I'm just going to say it went into a quilt time out for about a day before I got back to work on it.
Internal borders done. Those little setting blocks are really nice.
Finished top with the wide outer border. I need more borders in my quilt life. I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out. It's folded up and in the shop bag ... read more

I pulled this fun coordinating pink from my collection and made up the binding before I even loaded it onto the frame.
Ready to quilt!
I went with a teal thread on top and bobbin. Swirls, waves, and some wavy lines for an allover design.
These waves are one of my favorites.
The lighting on this is ... read more
Many years ago I bought a quilt kit offered by Joanne Fabrics. It was a block of the month and I picked up the almost the entire kit at sale prices. I pulled it out of its hiding place and spend the next six days piecing a new block each day.

And you thought the mask sewing was over with.
Darling Husband has said more than once he wanted a mask that had more coverage than the fitted masks I made a couple months ago. I made a sample last month and he has already lost it. It was time to make some more. I pulled out some fun Halloween prints and got cutting. These are made using one of the 3D patterns out there. I used the adult size from this Martelli Notions YouTube. I don't use the Martelli system but they include the sizes on the video. I ... read moreI ... read more
When I heard Mary (@mary_thecuriousquilter) was hosting a charm square swap I jumped in with both feet and my considerable collection of 2.5" squares of fabric. I've had some really good luck and some really bad luck with swaps in the past. I went into this one with high hopes and I was not disappointed.
The first step, for me, was sorting through my collection of 2.5" squares. I have been cutting these little pieces of fun for quite a while now. This is what the collection looked like before I started sorting.
This is what it ... read more- sew my stash
