What We’re Working On from Eagle's Wings Quilts

 We had lots of finishes yesterday. Marg was the binding queen and managed to get 4 quilts bound. Obviously, we do them entirely by machine. Janet also bound one yesterday, for a total of 5 finishes in one afternoon. Yay us!!! I think I’ve posted pictures of these quilts before, but this is them in their finished glory. I also remembered to get a picture of the garden themed quilt that Tammy has been working on. It is so pretty that we are seriously considering adding this to our fundraising this summer. And here at home I was working ...

So Much Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. All of my to-do's were crossed off yesterday, including walking on the treadmill and the one housekeeping chore on my list. Yay me! 

Once the meat and potatoes part of my day was complete, I could move on to dessert. There was lots of time for sewing. Fortunately, my purrtector cat was on the job, keeping an eye out for any invading forces from the north.


It was unclear how much quilting there was left to do on the Fantastic Felines, and so I just sewed until I was tired of sewing, and then laid ...

Monterey Chicken Spaghetti from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

 I had this pinned on a Pinterest board and made it yesterdayMonterey Chicken SpaghettiI printed out the recipe because I strongly dislike cooking from recipes on my phone and warning...I almost didn't try this because the pop up ads were ridiculous. It gave me a headache just trying to read the recipe.This was a big hit though. Even little E loved it and 4-yr olds can be very leary of new

Opal-Inspired Baby Quilt Flimsy from The Colorful Fabricholic

I wrote about being inspired by the colors of opal gemstones in this post. This was my color inspiration:

Opal gemstone, screen capture from Google image search

I pulled a palette of aqua, orange and yellow along with white-based low volume prints with a lot of color in them. This is what I ended up with, for a baby quilt.

The blocks are small, 6", and the top finished at 36 by 42", so I'll be able to use one WOF for backing if I quilt it on my domestic machine. I have a lot of small to medium ...

Online Inspiration, Wool Applique, 3 Ingredient Squares from Canadian Needle Nana

We were plunged back into Christmasy looking winter on Saturday. It was beautiful outside in my woods.

 I tramped about while the dogs ran madly around, sniffing new tracks here and there. The air was so cool and fresh and enjoyable. Below is the woods at the back door with a glimpse of the old tree house. 
This Wednesday morning is cool, windchill making it -18C but the sun is shining so another very pretty wintry looking day. But staying this cool means no melting today.
I've been trying to choose which of my quilt tops to get to ...

Little House Sampler Quilt Sew Along ~ Shoo Fly - Block #4 from Melva Loves Scraps

 

Welcome back to the fourth "chapter" of the Little House Sampler Sew Along!  The 4th book in the Little House series is On the Banks of Plum Creek.  When the Ingalls family was forced to move from the prairies of Kansas they headed north to Minnesota. 


They first lived in a sod house until Pas was able to build a clean new house beside Plum Creek. Pa purchased the materials on credit with the intention of paying off the credit with the fall wheat harvest.

Just before the harvest, a strange glittering cloud suddenly blocked out the sun.  Millions of ...

Let The Good Times Roll! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


The Richmond Express gals are in the house and quilting up a storm!

And the projects are as varied as the conversations interrupted only by bursts of laughter.

You know, as I work my way into my older crone years, there is nowhere else I'd rather be with than a house full of like-minded quilters.

Everyone from different backgrounds and varying life experiences - we could write a book for the answers to all questions because SOMEONE in this house has been through what someone else is just embarking on.  It's marvelous!

Time to Quilt Sampler from Night Owl Quilting


Marion loves a sampler quilt.  She will be the first to tell you that.   This pattern was called Time to Quilt by Stephanie Prescott of A Quilter's Dream.  


The interesting part of this one is that all the blocks are made from only two fabrics.  For every block pattern you made two blocks, but reversed the colours for the second one.


Marion left the quilting decision up to me, and I selected the Flirtatious pantograph with a lovely purple Magnifico thread in colour 2123 - February.

Pattern and stitch from contemporary embroidery

 



Thi spiece popped up in my Facebook memories today and I'm so pleased it did.

It has provided more inspiration for my current design work especially the gimp and the buttons but also the composition, the placement of paper alongside embroidery.

Let's play ball!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Not to throw anyone into a panic, but there are a couple of things to mention. 

YES—there is a virtual retreat this weekend. I keep forgetting to mention it. The links will be at the end of today's post, much to Zoom's dismay. Posting links in a public place is a no-no in the security world.  

Second -- I'm almost finished reading The Brain At Rest, by Dr. Joseph Jebelli, PhD, and OH MY GOSH!!! Did you know how much exercise can make your brain bigger? And a bigger brain means that if you have a stroke ...

Finished (or not) Friday from My Sewing Room

The binding on this finish was done a few days ago, but I saved it for a sunny day in order to get a decent photo.  Thursday was photo day.


Mother Nature has been a bit psycho this week - snow early in the week with negative temps for low.  Now it's sunny and will be near 80 today.  Will it really be nearly 90 tomorrow?  


Triple Triangle was a fun Rainbow Scrap Challenge project.  The blocks are triangles made with strings, framed in a variety of black and white prints. That blue sashing came from the stash, and so ...

South Island Holiday - Arrowtown and Walter Peak from Romany Quilting

 It's always such a bonus to have a two night stay on these coach tours, instead of packing up and moving on each morning.   In saying that, there was a lot packed in to our stay at Queenstown.   First things first, just look at this fabulous morning view looking out of my hotel room at Lake Wakatipu.


Early morning view

After breakfast we climbed aboard our coach which drove us to nearby Arrowtown.  The Arrow River became famous in 1862 when William Fox discovered alluvial gold close to where the town now stands.  This pretty little town boasts carefully ...

Finding more choices................... from Exuberant Color


There were more black/irory Marcia Derse fabrics that I thought I should audition for the sashing on the table runner.







I put 4 of the 5 crazy pieced blocks on top of them.  I may have to remove the light strips on the edge of 2 of the blocks and replace them with something darker.






I turned the two with light edge strips to touch other fabrics.








I had pulled this fabric for the first photos thinking it was too dark, but I still had to try it with the crazy pieced blocks.  No decisions made.

It got up ...

Half Rectangle Triangles. from Sunburnt Quilts

I have worked often with half square triangles, but have only rarely played with rectangles.

When I received this fabric bundle, I thought it was a good chance to see what I could do with the half rectangle triangles. The fabric is called Bloom Wildly by Clothworks and came as 30cm strips.

It took a little bit of juggling and some sketchy diagrams to work out how to use the colours in diagonal stripes. There were several colours from the range that were not included as they were very pale. They will find a home in another quilt one day ...

Cross Stitch Update: March 20th, 2026 from Jo's Country Junction

I didn’t get a lot done this week that you can see. I spent some time putting floss away and doing a little behind-the-scenes organizing. Last week I told you I started this freebie. You can find the freebie HERE. I ended up finishing it that night. I even fully finished it already. I’ll share that …
