A little show & tell and keeping up with BOM’s from The Crafty Quilter

One of my favorite things about some of the monthly quilting groups that I belong to is the show & tell time. I love seeing what everyone is working on, and I’m often inspired to create something based on what has been shared.

Here on my blog, I often share my progress of BOM projects, quilts that I’m working on, and other various projects. So today, I have a little show & tell for you!

I am a sucker for a good block of the month or sew along, so I have many that I’m participating in – both online ...

Wednesday WIP’s from The Crafty Quilter

I have so many Wednesday WIP’s (works in progress) that it’s a little embarrassing. I’m trying to prioritize, but it seems like they’re all tugging at me and saying “pick me!”.

Let me start with my Summer Fun quilt which is under my sewing machine right now. I have a partial plan for the quilting. I used my iPad and Procreate (which is a digital illustration App) to draw a quilting plan. If you have an iPad Pro, you should consider this app. It costs $10 and it’s worth every penny. The expensive part is ...

June WIP’s from The Crafty Quilter

June WIP’s are here, but can someone slow down the calendar? June is already more than half-way gone. The Zen thing to do would be to enjoy this moment. Yes, as I sip on my green tea and type these words, I am enjoying each day and each click of the keyboard. I’ll be grilling hamburgers in the backyard in just a few hours!

I’m staying on target with my quilt alongs and block of the weeks, months, etc. I have three lovely blocks finished for The Patchsmith’s Sampler Sew Along. I love rummaging through my ...

WIPs with Friends Thursday from Mama Spark's World

Sorry for missing WIP Wednesday but I was out of town. My sister was having some surgery and I had to be there to make sure she was alright. I was and she was so here we are on WIP Thursday instead. I am freaking out a little bit about all of the commitments I have for this month. What is wrong with me? I know the word no but rarely use it, LOL. So what have I been working on?

Sew many quilt blocks! from The Crafty Quilter

I promised that I would share my many quilt blocks from the various BOM’s and QAL’s I’ve joined (it seemed like a good idea at the time), so here we go!

The Quilter’s Planner block for this month was so much fun, and I’m beginning to love them more when they’re all grouped together. Remember, I’m making them two sizes smaller than the original 12″ block pattern. So, mine are 6″ and 3″ finished. Sew cute and tiny!

I’m making each month’s block a different color of the rainbow. The yellow ...

Wednesday WIP’s from The Crafty Quilter

This seems like a good day to share some Wednesday WIP’s with you all. The biggest work in process at the moment is our next granddaughter whose arrival date is today! This picture of our daughter, Kelly, and Amelia was taken 25 days ago, but I photo-shopped the number to zero. Baby sister has only gotten bigger and more active since then.

I’ll let you know as soon as she arrives. For now, everyone is waiting patiently (well, you know, kind of). Spring has arrived in Texas and someone is ready for baseball season….

Jacob’s Super Block from Hobbies Up To Here

I recently finished the top to Jake’s Marvel Quilt. All 48 blocks are done! My son is thrilled to have this top down and to be that much closer to having his very own full sized quilt done. As I shared this WIP, I had a lot of friends and fellow quilters ask me where … Continue reading Jacob’s Super Block

A finished top! from Ramblings of a Fabric Obsessor

I meant to post this yesterday, but I ended up working from home and tried to get so much done in the time that I was online and then I went to a new local meeting of long armers and by the time I got home, I was too pooped to even sew! So I am posting my January OMG update, my WIP Wednesday, my January UFO finish... So many blogs to link to! Let's start with the January One Month Goals. Here

WIP Wednesday - step 5 and blocks from Ramblings of a Fabric Obsessor

The blowers and dehumidifiers have been removed from the premises! Woo hoo! And I am so happy to say that it is quiet! Nice and quiet! Sunday afternoon and evening, I got a lot done on the Road to Llano quilt. Done with step 5 at this point! But I don't want to stop working on it. Steps 6 and 7 look fairly quick and easy... I also finished assembling these blocks and got them trimmed. The

WIP Wednesday - minimal progress from Ramblings of a Fabric Obsessor

Well, this week has so far been a bust for me. I will share some pics in my next post when I hopefully will have a bit more info, but I will just say that I am dealing with some plumbing issues at my house. I was able to get the squares cut for my Road to Llano quilt and these will be used in steps 3 and 4, just as a start. I'm hoping to get step 3 done sometimes this weekend. And I am

WIP Wednesday - Still lots going on! from Charly & Ben's Crafty Corner

Keeping up a blog relies as much on habit as it does on making things to show but sometimes, the time it takes to write up a blog post, is lost to fun things like visiting family home for a month, secret sewing projects for new classes & workshops, designs for publication and guild work and the not so fun things like cleaning the house, reactions to the flu jab and ironing the clothes!

Having said all that, I feel the pull to the blog very strongly every now and again as the act of writing about WIP's and design ...

Short On The Borders from Hobbies Up To Here

At the beginning of this year, my mom and I agreed that 2017 should be the year of finishes. We had enough projects going to last us a lifetime and we needed to get some of that work done!

WIP Wednesday – stuck in the binding phase from The Crafty Quilter

It’s been a while since I’ve done a WIP (work in progress) blog post. Right now I’m in between projects, and I thought I’d see what unfinished quilts I had to work on. (Was that an oxymoron?) It seems I’m stuck in the binding phase of five quilts! Eeek! I had no idea.

It might be helpful to have a project tracker to keep me in check. I found this Quilt Project Planner at Hello Melly Designs and downloaded it yesterday. It has space for all of the quilt stages and quilt information, along with ...

Upcoming projects and a matching game from The Crafty Quilter

I’ve been busy on the backside of my blog (I don’t even know the half of how it works). It’s a frightening thing to get an email telling you that your website has been hacked. Eeek! So, I’m working on that, but I do have a few upcoming projects to tell you about and a matching game I made for Amelia to show you.

I’ve got the third block of Jacquelynne Steves’ I Love Home BOM finished and ready for Monday’s blog hop. Month three has become my Christmas version of the BOM, and ...

slow and quick projects from Charm About You

Cathedral windows are lovely to make, different from traditional piecing and so satisfying! I made this little sample for Sewing Quarter and demonstrated yesterday how to hand sew the blocks.

I chose to hand stitch the folds with some perle thread, which is quicker than appliqué (although I did demo that too) and gives a lovely effect - the Valdani variegated thread is particularly pretty.

To watch the repeat of the show, click here.

On the same show I also made this Peonies block from 100 Any-Size Flower Blocks by Rita Weiss and Linda Causee. Fast and easy to put together ...

2016 Finish Along {Q1 Goals} from Never Just Jennifer

Looking back on my 2015 finish along goals, I didn't do so hot. Sure I got a lot finished in Q1 but not much of what was on my list. In Q2 I did much better at following and finishing what was on my list. I didn't even manage a list for Q3 or Q4. Check out all of my posts related to last years finish along here.

I'm aiming to be much better this year though. I have some big plans for that long WIP list from last year. So let's get down to it ...
