Garden Stars and more red, white, blue from My Sewing Room

Yesterday morning I had some sewing time, and it was spread over multiple projects.  Another Quilt of Valor was washed and dried as well, making 4 done this week. 


I attached the binding to another Quilt of Valor.  Today I should have time to trim it and begin the hand stitching.  This is the quilt before it was quilted.  It was the most recent QOV sew along hosted by Alycia, called Marching Stars.


The quarter units for a second Garden Stars block were sewn.  The paper still needs to be taken out of them.  Two down and 10 to go ...

Easy Bargello Rainbow Twin Quilt sewn in Pop Culture by White Owl Textiles! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a glorious rainbow Easy Bargello quilt made with a Fundamentals Pop Culture jelly roll by White Owl Textiles.  The bright white background makes this quilt really pop.

Easy Bargello is an easy version of a typically more complicated Bargello quilt design.  

The pattern is in the shop right here.


This Quilt is Famous!


White Owl Textiles, a subdivision of Lumin Fabrics, featured this quilt in their booth at H+H America in Chicago, Illinois in May of 2026.  I am sure it brought many sighs of happiness as crafters passed by.  Rainbows are so happy!

Binding started................ from Exuberant Color


I didn't get started on anything early in the day and my machine was unplugged for a few hours in the afternoon while storms rolled through.  Another .9" of rain.  A second round came through in the evening so the machine was unplugged again.  Finally later in the evening there was just light rain so I got busy on this binding.  Since the binding is black and the background of the backing is black, I decided it was best to do it all by machine.  I should be able to finish it today.


I'm glad I got a ...

May Retreat Photos from Angie Quilts

I just want to say that I didn't take any of these photos. I never even thought to get my camera (phone) out to snap away as I was too busy chilling! It's lovely that someone else took photos though, because I get to share a few pictures. Just the ones made by people who regularly give me permission to show you what we are up to. I never post pictures without permission.

This applique project belongs to Our Norma. It's an Australian designer's pattern, Irene Blanck of Focus On Quilts A few of us got ...

Trash and Treasure from Quarter-Inch Capers

No quilting right now. The technician came from Richmond yesterday to do the routine maintenance on my longarm. I get it done every 18 months to two years. I needed a new thrust bearing on the belly bar and a new shaft adapter for quick change feet. He also tightened all the belts, changed the tension spring, cleaned everything, etc. I will need to get back to quilting today. I did do some sewing though.


I often sew at home in the evenings, but lately I haven’t been in the mood. In fact, my small machine was still in ...

Hexagon logs from Stitching Matters

When receiving this quilt from an out-of-town quilter, all my skills, creativity, patience or whatever you would like to call it, were tested.

Along with the two quilts sent, computer-printed motifs came with instructions to do them on the quilts.

Now, as much as I’d like to improve my skills and get better at what I do, I am sadly just a freehand quilter and not a computer.  I won't be able to get the left side of any block exactly like the right or the bottom like the top.

I explained this to the maker, but she ...

Casino & Quilts from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up and wanting to play my games for a bit. Instead, I went for a walk and made it around the neighborhood 5 times. Patrick wanted to go to the casino early, so we left about 10:15 am. I had a message to Martha to meet us at IGA. Then Colleen said that Jan would be there to. 

We arrived at about 10:55 am, and both of them just arrived as well. Jan took 2 of the kits for quilts, while Martha took 2 as well. Then we headed to the casino to play ...

{I've Been Reading} It Came From Neverland from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

 Dungeons and Danger by Elizabeth Penney 

The second book in the Ravensea Castle series of cozy mysteries gives readers a more detailed look at the dungeons and sacred spring. Ghost hunters and treasure hunters have both descended on the castle, just as the family is preparing for Viking Fest, an event which will bring even more strangers to the property. I'm absolutely loving this series. Ghosts wander the dark old halls, the characters feel like people you'd actually want to visit, and the setting fascinates me. I look forward to the next book. 

It Came from Neverland by ...

Tidying … from Quilting and More...

I’ve been seeing lots of trinket trays (usually in leather or imitation leather) lately, and I really wanted to make one to help keep clutter organized in my sewing area. The problem is that I didn’t like the idea of the wrong side of the embroidery used to embellish them showing! My solution was to […]

100 Day Project from Melva Loves Scraps

T
he 100DayProject is a creativity excavation.  It’s about unearthing dormant or unrealized creativity by committing to a daily practice every day for 100 days.

Creativity is a skill.  The more we practice, the more skilled we become.  Practice takes time.  Practice takes commitment.  Practice is a radical act in this speeded up world.   Through practice, we develop a creative habit.  Through habit, we reconnect with and know ourselves again as a creative being.

I've seen a number of other artists and quilters participate in the 100-day project over the years. It has always been a little intriguing ...
