to do: something new from Making A Lather

I uncovered a small box with 6 inch squares. I believe, I bought it at a quilt show garage sale. I often wonder what the original quilter was planning and thinking while cutting her fabric into squares.

By donating her scraps, she has brought pleasure to my little world.

I didn't want to cut them down to 5 inch squares, but, I did look for inspiration in the charm pack patterns. I would just make the squares bigger, and, then, the quilt would be bigger.

I thought the squares looked coordinated enough, to just use them scrappy. The squares ...

Rockets Red Glare from Nestlings By Robin

LOOK what hit mailboxes

last week!!

The July issue is now out

and yours truly

has a new quilt within

titled, 'Rockets Red Glare'.

THANK YOU Connecting Threads for

the perfect fabric line,

Hometown Americana II.

It saddens me that so many quilters

feel overwhelmed by applique'

because, to me, it is such a

creative and relaxing form of quilting.

Yes, there are sometimes

many pieces to handle but

no more than some of

the pieced quilts I have seen.

There are times that even I look

at one of my designs and ask,

"who designed all this work?".

Then ...

Ladybirds for Luck: Colour & Inspiration Tuesday from Clever Chameleon

Ladybug colour board at Clever Chameleon

Ladybirds for Luck

So…… This week, things are going pretty well here…… Covid restrictions easing. My latest assignment written (and submitted!) on time. Three more blocks on the Lunarcy finished….. which gives me some breathing space to do some of the pattern writing for a change. And a four day weekend due to a public holiday yesterday combined with a student-free day today…. Puts me in the mood for a lighthearted look at Lady Luck, since that’s where the themes in my sewing room, the great outdoors and my linky inbox seem to intersect this week.

Why luck? The ...

The stars at night from The Academic Quilter

Hello everyone! I hope you are all feeling well and healthy, and that no one is going too stir crazy yet. This is a weird and challenging time, isn't it? It's like a slow-motion science fiction movie right now. Lots of stress and lots of strange things happening. Who ever thought we would live through a time when half our country is locked down? I hope you're all coping okay.

Well, I'll bet you can figure out my coping strategy! I've made myself a schedule since I'm teaching all online now and I want ...

Winter Solstice Rainbow Throw Quilt! from Busy Hands Quilts

This week's finish is a Winter Solstice Throw quilt in a rainbow of Peppered Cottons. The gray chains are made with two shades of gray for added texture. These quilt blocks were made to test the pattern last spring, and they were set aside until this week.

Winter Solstice has been kitted by Connecting Threads in Faux Linen, a lovely textured-looking fabric in solid-ish colors. Our color schemes are very similar which is amazing since I was just using a fat quarter bundle I had on hand.

Charm Quilts from Ann Quilts

Well, I think this is a great topic for this put-a-new-calendar-on-the-wall and make-those-happy-wishes time of year.

Charm quilts, as the name indicates, are made with thoughts of good luck in mind. I'd heard the folklore that the magic happens because each piece is a unique fabric....but if one and only one fabric has been used twice, the quilt has a special magic. So that's what I did. My charm quilts were made for my babies because, as a quilter, I of course had to make them each a very special quilt.

I am prompted to think about ...

Fancy Little Mug Rugs from Solid Stars from Amy Made That

Hello, Friends!

I have a fun little gift project to share today!

I made three little mug rugs, using

some 6 1/2" star blocks that I made

a ~~short~~ long time ago.

You can read more about the Moda Sweetwater solid bundle

of fabrics that I used, in this post.

I had such fun stitching up these solid blocks!

I used one of them on the back of a little table runner,

and it's featured in this post.

Hmmm...solid blocks do tend to show "mistakes",

don't they?

Americana Bald Eagle Applique from Linda's Art Quilts

Framed Americana Bald Eagle with Flag - Felt Applique

A Little Background

A few years ago the process of felt applique grabbed my interest and I set about making five or six 9" x 12" works. Until recently, they had become "lost" in my stash of unfinished projects. After much searching, I did find them.

There is going to be a local silent action for a political fund raiser and my mind went to the first felt appliqued piece that I made. Because it is small and because the back shows stitching that isn't really appealing, I spray mounted a ...

Scrap Happy Saturday from Driving Miss Stacey

It's all about the color indigo this month.

I do not have a lot indigo in my scrap stash but I managed to come up with these few blocks. They are as close as I could get to indigo. I like the Roosevelt's Bow Tie block best. It went together super fast. I like it a lot. It's shown front and center.

I had to do some tweaking with the cutting instructions for the center Bullseye Block for it to finish at 6 1/2 inches. It's the one on the far right. I just switched ...
