One Of Those Days from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up at 3 am and put the cinnamon rolls out of the refrigerator to raise while I slept. Shocker - Patrick and I slept in. When they did go in the oven, they looked perfect! 

The lighting from the oven isn't the greatest. I pulled them out like this - nothing left in the pan!! Wow, I usually have some of the bread on the side of the pan or at the bottom, not this time. Woohoo!

Added the frosting and Wala! it looks great. I had the maple filling this time. Not my favorite but when ...

{I've Been Reading} Murder in the Upper Crust from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

 Murder in the Upper Crust by Mindy Quigley 

I've been reading the Deep Dish mystery series since the first book and as soon as I see that a new one is coming out, I add it to my to-be-read pile. The writing style always pulls me in and this one is no exception. With most of her staff away, Delilah gets sucked into a last minute catering job for a wellness guru. She also gets stuck attending a late night meditation session and when she should be zipped into her own private pod with a scented candle and personalized ...

Made by YOU!! Halloween Hoopla from Jo's Country Junction

It took first at the Wisconsin State Fair! Oh my goodness. It’s so pretty. I’ve actually made this quilt twice. The …

A Quilt Finish - 2018-2026 from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

In 2018,  I started a quilt.   I made the top in good time (all in the month of March, I think.)  Parts of it were likely crumb blocks or crumb pieces that I had started earlier, but they were just "playtime" pieces. 


A friend designed the layout for a crumb quilt and I decided to play along, knowing that I wasn't copying it really - just using a basic framework for my unique crumb blocks. 

Then the top was finished and somehow ended up in a pile.  I don't know when I decided to layer and baste it, but ...

Fool’s Puzzle: Six Geese, All Headed Out of Town from Generations Quilt Patterns Blog

A Fool's Puzzle quilt block

The Fool’s Puzzle quilt block is new on the site, with flying geese on every edge, all pointing out, and a center that ties it together.

Now I stitched those Side units the traditional way, once, triangle to triangle, with bias edges stretching every which way.

Never again.

This time the paper does the heavy lifting, so you sew on the line and every goose lands right where it belongs. The only spot to slow down is trimming the center QST, and that takes a hot minute, not an afternoon.

Patterns come in five sizes, from 4" to 10 ...

Hiccups from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Interruptions, chaos…it happens. 


Granddaughter and great-granddaughter on the carousel

Friday brought joys—Kelsey brought her family to town for a quick visit which we made the most of—a visit to the state fair, a pumpkin patch and lots of food. Our great-granddaughter was the center of attention in a good way, and that added to the joy. 

The camel was a sweetheart

The gourd and melon winners


I loved seeing dads and granddads sporting their girls' backpacks

The girls in the corn castle at the pumpkin patch

Nita was part of the entourage and I gave her the ...

De tentoonstelling van De Lakenquilters. from M. Brito de Campos


Groepsproject nav een schilderij

 Vorige week was de 7e Lustrum Tentoonstelling van 
de Lakenquilters. 
De groep bestaat 35 jaar en ik ben 2 jaar lid. 
Precies op tijd om deze leuke tentoonstelling mee te maken. 
De werkgroep is meer dan een jaar bezig geweest 
met de organisatie en dat was te zien ook. 
Alles zag er zo goed uit! 
De quilts hingen prachtig, 
mooie kaartjes erbij, en 
het geheel fantastisch georganiseerd. 

Een foto impressie.

Blue Plate Special Pattern is Available from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

 Hello Everyone,

Between the wedding and preparing for my next retreat, I managed to cut kits and have the patterns printed for Blue Plate Special. The pattern is now available in my Etsy shop HERE.


This pattern has all the charm of a vintage diner favorite... comforting, classic, and impossible to resist. The graceful, scalloped design creates beautiful movement across the quilt, while the soft florals and geometric blocks give it a timeless cottage-inspired look. The quilt is made from my Timeless Stitches fabric collection HERE.



The wedding whirlwind is finally winding down, and pictures from my granddaughter's wedding ...

Sharing my thoughts from Happy Cottage Quilter

There have been many times when I've had such a burning desire to quilt, that everything else goes by the wayside. 

I was going through some old magazines, sorting them as keepers and give aways. There was an "aha!" moment as I leafed through a variety of older magazines.
 Quilting times have changed. More and more quilters have lent themselves to modern quilting. Modern fabric, modern patterns, modern quilts.

I'm not saying I don't like the newer brighter fabric colors. It's just that I have always been a traditional quilter, and I'm not finding much ...

Another Retreat In The Books! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


It was a bit brisk in the morning when we stepped out to grab a group pohoto -

Some had to leave early, and our group mom was switching out mid retreat to attend grandkid events! 

It was a revolving door of quilters and quilt projects and it just added to the happy chaos.

The October Quiltvillians retreat also put us on the countdown to the end of the season.

They were our "Three retreats to go!" group!

Les Bleus d' Alsace, Continued from Humble Quilts


Today I'll share the rest of the quilt...oh yeah! I finished the hand quilting, so it is done!


Here's my backing! When I saw it in my stash I thought it was perfect!
You may be able to see I machine quilted in the ditch between the blocks. My hands don't tolerate too much hand quilting anymore. 

I do simple labels. Ever since I killed my printer printing a fabric label I stick with my own hand writing now.

Large squares and smaller squares I hand stitched on the diagonal. I did use my Hera marker ...

An amazing travel day by car from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

LOL --- Soon the comments will be more entertaining than the blog!!! I love it all! And yes, each of us handles our stash differently. I know tons of organizations take donations, and that may be what happens, but I also want to have fun with that stash, and I'm trying to think of creative ways to get rid of it. And who knows, I may just end up keeping it all until I don't need it anymore. But the books and magazines? Those have to go! 

I laugh when I read that paragraph back. Who would have thought ...

Wednesday check-in from My Sewing Room

Tuesday didn't provide as much actual sewing time as I had anticipated.

But I did get one of the little doll quilts quilted and binding attached.  That is a good start at least, and will provide some binding to hand stitch in the evening. Maybe today I'll get the second one quilted - in between other things going on.


I did cut the pieces for a few more of the Windmill blocks, and some additional Plus blocks.  Here are some of them.  

My other goal today is to finish getting the borders sewn onto the Honey Bee quilt.  And ...

Prepping for retreat from Just Sew Sue

 

There's just over a week to go until I'm back at the Modern Quilt Club retreat at the Gomersal Park Hotel. Usually I have lots of projects packed, but this time I am packing fewer projects and acknowledging that I can no longer speed sew with any accuracy all day.

The first project that I've packed is the next border for the Liminal Quilt by Jo Avery for Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I think this would be a good project for Saturday as I should be able to finish it in a day. Soon the borders ...
