ECONOMY from Q-BITS

The 'economy' quilt block reportedly dates from the Civil War era. At that time, fabric was difficult to purchase so those who needed to make warm coverings used every scrap that they could salvage and recycle. This block used small pieces of scrap fabric; thus, was very popular. It is still a popular design today. I have made several variations over the years.

In an effort to sort through and use some of the fabrics from my pink and brown scrap bins, this design seemed appropriate.

THE STATS: Economy, 2026, 34" x 34", Paper Pieced, Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted.

No quilt yet & the baby is driving! from Crafty Gemini

How is Halloween already this weekend?! October has flown by, and we’ve got a busy few days ahead with costume parties, trick or treating and everything else we have going on here.

I’m trying to squeeze in all the things I want to get done while keeping up with the things that actually have to get done. </p>

On the Mend from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Well, I'm back after my "pilot episode" of this year's flu. Interestingly (to me, at least), I looked back at several years of posts to see how I'd reacted to these vaccines in the past. In 2025, we got both flu and COVID on the same day…no reaction…not even a sore arm. Then, I looked up my post about our vaccines from 2024, and I had a similar reaction to this year’s vaccine...fever, chills, and feeling generally ill. In 2023, just general malaise. I know the vaccines are ...

The Wedding from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Here's just a brief snapshot of the wedding of my granddaughter Harleigh, and her wonderful husband Dan at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The colorful dogwoods were the perfect background for a Fall wedding.

We call this our Wilder gene or gene Wilder picture. We are lined up in birth order from our two sons, our daughter, three granddaughters and two grandsons. Mr. Joe and I are the shrinking violets!

This is our first Wilder gene picture in 2014. The little boys aren't very little anymore!

The kids were married at the base of the Sentinel ...

These Crazy Days! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

I'm going to start this post with Flash right here.

Something amazing has happened.

I never thought it would!

If you will remember, Flash has been with us a bit over a year and a half now. I think? You know, time flies around here.

It was JUST this spring when he finally learned how to control his tail and gave it a full and upright "up periscope!" that even let us know that he in fact, yes in deedy, is a he.

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 ...

Starstruck Stripes Tablerunner COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

Some patterns are completely worth buying. This from a person who does a lot of her own designs. But, I loved this as soon as I saw it. The construction technique is brilliant, and I love the results!

Maybe you will, too: Starstruck Stripes.

Finishes at 12″x38″. Isn’t she a beauty?!

ps–I don’t know what is going on with my picture colors lately. The red here is way too pink. Drat!

What I wish I had learned when I started quilting (scroll down) from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OH MY GOSH --- there are some great ideas for whittling down the stash and the books/magazines. That darn Elle wants me to do some hard work! A magazine before I get the fun of working on a puzzle. She would make an excellent professional declutterer. But she is right! I will take that upon myself when I get home.

I know part of that task will be tough, so I'll be careful about which magazines I start culling.

As many of you know who have been around the quilting world for a while, there have been loads of ...

Making pumpkins from Happy Cottage Quilter

The fall season always brings out pumpkins.

So I wanted to make my own pumpkins. Last year I came across a very easy tutorial on Stacey Lees website.

These were so fun to make. I wanted to make more!

More pinwheels......................... from Exuberant Color

I did outside work in the middle of the day yesterday. I finished cutting down all of the peonies, cut small trees, and picked up fallen branches. Then it was time to sew. There were duplicates of some of these too. I counted all of the pinwheels. There are 25 eight inch, 7 six inch, 29 four inch and 5 three inch. That doesn't include 17 duplicate 8" blocks that may be used in another project. I'll still be making more because they are fun. I may put all of them up on the design wall today, grouped ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Vorige week was de 7e Lustrum Tentoonstelling van
