Tea Party Gets Quilted! from The Modern Diary

My friend Andi in Arizona really wanted to custom quilt Tea Party and she did an amazing job!

I got it all trimmed and bound yesterday.

The backing is a fun batik snails fabric that I bought very early on in my quilting life. I never made the quilt it was earmarked for so I finally decided to use it up! This quilt is really soft and snuggly!

Valentine's Mini Mystery and More! from The Modern Diary

The reveal of the Modern Quilt Mystery for 2023 is out. It is awesome. We are to keep it mum until March 3rd. Here is my clue before the reveal...and you may notice that the next picture has my half circles changed around by direction and some of the colors too.

I realized that I had some too similar colors on both halfs of the quilt blocks. I may need to redo more as I lay it out, but have not had a chance to do anything with it since Friday.

I added another row to the Sparkling New ...

More Mystery Progress! from The Modern Diary

I decided to participate in the Modern Quilt Studio's mystery quilt this year. The fabric pull is very scrappy with two piles of fabrics in darks and lights....here are a few pictures of my pull. I have already added more to this too but you get the idea. If you are doing this and do not want to be spoiled for the first installment, skip this post.

Here the first clue..done but not photographed real well.

You can see some blocks are light and some are dark. The second clue is out and so far I have ...

Tea Party is a Flimsy and Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2023 Gets a Start! from The Modern Diary

Tea Party (from Mystery Quilts Anon NY Mystery) is a flimsy. It still needs a good press, a quick square up and a backing, but the binding is made. Andi from Arizona offered to custom quilt it for me, so I will be sending it to her in a few months when she can slot it in.

Today everyone was busy so have been listening to "Middlemarch" and I spent quite a bit of time sorting through a zillion HST's that have been accumulating for decades. I put each color/neutral in a bag and all the bags in ...

Tea Party and Chilhowie Updates! from The Modern Diary

I sewed Tea Party together yesterday...I made a mistake in one corner and "fixed it" and continued on with it only to discover when I laid it out that I fixed the wrong mistake and made more work for myself!

It needs a pressing and a quick trim up. Andi has asked to custom quilt it in the spring so I will be mailing it off to her!

This morning I whipped up the binding. Now all the fabric is put away and things are not so messy in here!

Two days ago I completed clue six of Chilhowie ...

More Mysteries than Ever! from The Modern Diary

New Year's sewing weekend was a lot of fun! My health cooperated and I was able to sew two days in a row! I put our usual Burgendy Beef in the crockpot (with organic soup which still gave me a bit of a migraine, darn).

This pic is the start of BJ's Nuts and Bolts mystery. While I was waiting for my mystery to start I worked on my Chilhowie blocks but once the mystery started there was not time to get back to them!

BJ started out with her Cuts and Bolts mystery (the rest of us ...

Let's Do a Mystery--or Three in 2023! from The Modern Diary

I have discovered four quilt mysteries going on over New Year's and am in for at least three of them (besides Chilhowie in progress). I figured I should post about them in case any of you wanted to join in on them and were unaware they were going on!

The first one is sponsored by Craftsy and Stitchin Heaven and is called Sparkling New Year. It starts at 10 AM my time (CST) and has easy cutting and presewing of HST's. You do not need to be a member of Craftsy to sign up for emails to get ...
