Tulip Swirl from My Sewing Room

OK - in the spirit of honesty - I broke down on Sunday and made a few of the Tulip Swirl blocks that Bonnie Hunter shared Friday. Every July she releases a free pattern for a Leader/Ender project, and this is what she's doing in 2026. She even shared several different layout ideas for them.

Ironically, the block units (2 squares/2 HSTs) are nearly identical to those I'm using for the Gleam QOV blocks. For Gleam I'm using 3.5" squares, and for Tulip Swirl she is using 2.5" squares. And the layout will be different ...

New quilts to make! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

First, let's get the pictures of the community project quilts straight! Here is the first one, which you saw yesterday. This came from a book whose name I can't remember at the moment, but the cover is pink, white, and black! That sure helps - doesn't it!

Community project quilt - Number One

The blocks were all strip pieced and then cut into slices. I have no idea why I made these two. Wait - I know - because I could. I probably wanted to have some baby quilts on hand, but I never got any requests for quilts. And I ...

Pressing........... from Exuberant Color

I had to turn the iron on yesterday to press the binding fabric for the current finish so I paired the fabrics for the Snail's Trail and got 4 pairs pressed while I was at it. Hopefully I'll get some blocks cut today.

While outside checking on my tomato plants I noticed some of the buds on the Tiger Lilies are turning orange. It won't be long now for the first few blooms.

Thanks to a friend, I had blackberries on vanilla ice cream last night for dessert. Yummy!

I got the binding strips cut yesterday so ...

Another Finish from Quarter-Inch Capers

I was able to get the borders put on the top I started on Memorial Day weekend. I was sort of stalled out on the borders, but I finally decided to go ahead and get it done. It only took from Memorial Day to Independence Day to get in the mood to get it finished. LOL.

I am anxious to get it quilted and bound. I will bind it with the navy I used for the inner border. I already have the binding made. Here’s a better picture of the border.

I think the colors show up better in ...

4th of July Weekend from Jo's Country Junction

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We had the grandkids here on Friday…well, we had Kelli’s and Kalissa’s kids here. We love them all lots, but we were ready for a couple of days without them. It had been a long week for us both. Friday night, after they left, Rick and I …

Small Quilts from Sunburnt Quilts

Happy Hippos and Zebras. I only had a few small pieces but managed to turn out a small quilt.

I have been working my way through some of the children’s fabric in my stash to make a few quilts.

This ended up around 40 by 55 inches. Black and white spot for the binding.

I had some more pieces from the same range and was able to match a few fabrics to frame the blocks,

I have no idea why there was some leopard print in my stash from a lifetime ago, but it has now found a home ...

Christmas in July from Grandma's Red Needle

Have you ever thought from where Christmas in July originates?

To be honest, I have always thought it came from the Southern Hemisphere. Recently, I did a search and according to this link, it originates from France! Did you know? I didn't!

The month of July is usually the time I start making Christmas items for gifts etc.

Last year, I prepped some dogs and cats themed mug rugs, using scraps from my stash. (I forgot to add them to my UFO list). I have finished quite some big quilts (so far) this year, it feels good working on ...

Embroidery Meeting Day from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was out the door with a bolt of fabric and some jam for mom. I stopped by her place to drop them off. We were meeting at Georgie's today because of mom having a cleaning lady stop by to clean her place and talk about when she will be coming. Mom walked over to Georgie's for about an hour and walked back. I was proud of her walking! She usually takes her car. Then I realized when I went back to mom's it was because Debbie (cleaning lady) was in her driveway. lol

We ...

Weekly update: rain, shine + goals met + reading from With Strings Attached

Wildflowers at Pine Dunes (Saturday) and Ethel's Woods (Sunday). Top: monarda (bee balm), purple coneflower, pickerel weed. Center: compass plant, Queen Anne's lace, false sunflower. Bottom: butterfly weed, Culver's root, swamp milkweed.

Just as forecast, thunderstorms rolled in Friday afternoon, rolled out, and more rain overnight. Saturday dawned sunny and I had a great 2-mile walk at Pine Dunes in the morning. Later in the day the rain returned and the temperatures dropped. I didn't want to bundle up and sit on wet grass (even in a chair on wet grass) to watch the Zion festivities ...

DJ, We Have a Problem.... from The Colorful Fabricholic

And a Fix.

Somehow I miscounted when laying out the parts for DJ2. When I sewed them all together, I ended up with this. Look at the top and the sides. Should be straight, not dip in.

If I square up the edges according to the current placement, as indicated by the horizontal line on the wall at the top and the plumb line at the right, I'll lose most of the dark fabrics in the corners and the quilt will be much smaller than anticipated.

The solution is to add to the light sections and build it out ...

What I’m Working On: July 6, 2026 from Jo's Country Junction

I was able to sneak into the sewing room once this week. I initially thought I would get a couple days in the sewing room but that didn’t happen. We had the grandkids last week three different times. On top of that, we are still sorting through Rick’s things that we moved. We’re getting some …

Like a Rolling Stone from Ann Quilts

Family history tells us that this Rolling Stone quilt may have been made by the owner's great -grandmother.

I'd date most of the quilt top fabrics to the 19-teens to 1920s, with some c. 1900 and possibly some early 1930s fabrics included.

This quilt holds a couple of surprises. The back and binding fabrics and strips added to the long sides, however, are c. 1940. This suggests that the top was enlarged a bit and then quilted a while after the top was made.

Another fun tidbit is some older patching. I always enjoy seeing a quilt that ...
