Iceland Fairy House for Quilter's Cove Linking Party from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome to our monthly Quilter's Cove link up. We've been making colourful houses bases on the Rainbow Scraps Challenge colours. We're now on the September house, which is purple.

Still Doing Business at the Same Old Stand! from Urban Quilter

Planning in Progress, 2026
It has been ages (over a year actually) since I posted to this blog. I am currently working on putting together a craft fair table for an event this winter and thought this was a good excuse to come back to blogging about my sewing. It is an extra thing to do, but I have always found it motivating to document my progress on things like this.

Since my last post I have taken on--with MKD, my trusty co-conspirator--coordinating the "Quilted Gift" project for my quilt guild. This is the project for which I made all ...

 I am still alive! Life can be so busy, and I fell out of the habit of updating my blog. Can't promise I will be perfect, but I'm going to try to do better. :)

In March of 2025, I posted about doing another yellow and blue quilt in honor of the Ukrainian people. I did get it done.


It is a One-Block-Wonder pattern using sunflower panels. I love the way it turned out!

I'll post a few more projects I have completed below.

This is a baby quilt featuring 1930s reproduction fabric.


Another baby quilt using picture ...

Les Bleus d’Alsace 2026 Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

For our 2026 quilalong, I had a plan but after visiting Alsace, a region in France, my brain led me a different way. 

So here we are- my inspiration was this lovely gray/blue I kept seeing!









Just a little peak on the right.

 






This was the airbnb my daughter and I stayed in 2015. Blue shutters have stole my heart!


Swatches at the linen museum.


And, of course, this quilt displayed in France from the International Quilt Museum.


I've gathered up a few bits of gray/blues and blue printed shirtings. I have one print that is a ...

Fern Creek Loop from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We'll be heading down the dusty trail again in a little while. Our next stop will be Winthrop, Washington, just up the road, and on the other side of the national park. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's talk about yesterday's activities. 

We're nearly out of ice cream, but since we still have enough vanilla, I was motivated to bake a Skillet Cherry Cobbler for Two. These are cherries from our own trees, and my adaptation of my mother's recipe to make it a skillet cobbler for two ...

Making The Most Of Porch Time! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


It's definitely autumn.

But it's still been nice enough out on the porch to make the most of porch time while we can still have porch time.

Oh, how I hate to see porch time go!

This was the scene I arrived to on Saturday morning - Project Linus Metrolina ladies crocheting, enjoying coffee and conversation and making items for children in need.

New Scrap Quilt ~ Red and Green from Podunk Pretties

 A year or so ago I had a great plan to make a red and green quilt.  As you can see I didn't get very far before pushing her aside for the next big quilt plan.  Tis the season to start a huge Christmas quilt plan with hopes of having it finished in time for Christmas.  What's a holiday season without one or two unnecessary expectations!


Over the last year I've been building a scrap saver system, so that seems like a good place to start looking for more fabrics.  As you can see, there's not ...

Sewing from Home Again from Life In Pieces

It's been a week since I got back from Houston.  So last Monday wasn't a great stitching day.  Most of Tuesday was spent in recovery, but I did make it to late night sew and got a lot done. My focus has been to get Celtic Solstice (Bonnie Hunter) assembled.  



  
Five of the seven rows are stitched and four rows are sewn together. I'll finish the last two rows, sew those together and add the 3 row piece to the 4 row piece. I'm pretty happy with how it's coming together.  

I still need to ...

Bikes in boxes from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

YES  --- using your brain can be a challenge. When I was a kid and well into my teens, I was a voracious reader. I read every book I could get my hands on. Then I became an "adult," and I stopped reading—I have no idea why. WAIT—I discovered magazines and started reading them. While it is still reading, it is NOT the same as reading a book. 

So when I started back to reading novels, it took a while for my brain to process that "new" style of words - longer novels rather than short essays in magazines. 

I ...

Design Wall Monday - October 5 from My Sewing Room

I'm really excited for this week's goals. I have some fun things on my design wall right now, and hope to make a little progress on several things.


The Marigold Mystery blocks for October are all done, so I can set aside that project box until next month.  On the 1st of October I made the 5 Shoo Fly blocks that finish at 4".  And now I have the 5 Square-in-a-Square and 5 Uneven 9-Patch blocks that are also that size.  From the sneak peek provided by Meadow Mist I think all the blocks we've made so ...

Cutting some pieces................ from Exuberant Color


I thought I was cutting enough for a block but obviously I only cut 6 pieces instead of 9 alike.  The pieces are 6" tall so they are way bigger than the ones in the original Fractured quilts.  That means 3 blocks across is 54" and 4 across is 72".

That made me wonder if I would rather have one background fabric per block and 9 different colors per block.  I think this is the way to go.  I'll be doing more cutting today.  The new fall shows are starting this week and I need TV sewing.

Design Wall Monday - October 5, 2026 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Good Morning Quilters!


I love fall!  Here is a picture of a field of pumpkins that I took a few years ago.  I was driving past it and had to stop and take a photo.  Fall is full of beautiful sights like this one.


There is more progress on the Jane Austen coverlet quilt kit.  Here is a current picture of my design wall:


I am excited to report that the center medallion is fitting well into the spot reserved for it, and now has sashing on three sides of it.  I feel like a half-way goalpost has been achieved ...

Stash bee ladder quilt from Just Sew Sue

 


I finished my ladder quilt using some of the stash bee quilt blocks. Had I done some preplanning I would have asked for 9" and 6" blocks instead of 12" blocks! However, it does mean that when the last two blocks arrive, I will have sufficient 12" blocks to make a sunny quilt for Quilts for care leavers.

I used a Karlee Porter star design to do the quilting with a variegated yellow thread from Superior Threads. However, I did lose at thread chicken, so I have a finished cone and substituted a Glide thread for half a row. I ...
