3 Yards make me smile from Happy Cottage Quilter

 Recently I was introduced to the 3 Yard quilt books. My quilting buddies and I got together and we worked on a nice pattern. 

Two buddies finished theirs.


But as usual I am still working on mine.

It was a fun and easy pattern. Have you ever made a quilt using the 3 Yard quilting books?

More designing, a little sewing................. from Exuberant Color


Center #4 seemed to be the favorite in yesterday's comments.  I haven't made a final decision but I think it will be the one.

I took this photo as a reference because I need to start sewing blocks.  I have to move 2 sets of 8" blocks to the left on the design wall so I can get the rest of the layout up there.


I have sewn all of the blocks in the first 2 columns and the top 2 blocks in the 3rd column.  Today I'll start moving pieces to the left.  I cut lots ...

Friday finish - more pumpkins and potions from Just Sew Sue

 

I had decided to work on this project during May, and I am really pleased with my progress. This is the Kimberbell Pumpkins and Potions ladder quilt using the Kimberbell embellishment kit and my own choice of fabrics. I had completed section 1 last week and finished section 2 last night.



I hadn't read the instructions completely before starting the project so I hadn't realised that the potion bottles were made in two stages, the first being water soluble fabric. I have only used this once before so I decided to embroider all of the other blocks first ...

Cruisin’ from Quarter-Inch Capers

I returned yesterday from my quilting cruise, and I had a great time. I do one or two each year, and this one may have been the best one yet. We left Saturday from Galveston. 

Goodbye Galveston!

Our first stop was Costa Maya, Mexico, and I didn’t even leave the ship! I did get up early every morning and walk on the top deck and work out in the gym

It’s not difficult to get plenty of exercise, between the jogging track and the gym, and the views are very motivating. 

We had a conference room for sewing ...

Color from Quilts....etc.

I don’t know about you but I am always glad I have something on my quilting frame and design wall at the same time – it just looks bare if they are both or one is empty. Right now I am working on three quilts I believe – Georgetown on My Mind, Noriko’s Star and […]

Cross Stitch Update: May 23, 2025 from Jo's Country Junction

Now much stitching happened this week. Between my head cold, work, and watching sports at night, I didn’t get many stitching hours in. I’m happy to say my head cold is finally easing up. I am not in the clear but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Oh, I hate …

A Quilt Finish and Eagles are back! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

It's been a slow go, but so glad this old UFO is now a completed quilt and gifted to my BIL.

For some strange reason, there are few particulars about this quilt.  Like, I have no idea when this was first started and the pattern name.  I probably saw this on Pinterest and was able to figure out the block and drafted up the quilt pattern in EQ.  Usually, I'm much more organized than this with important details and give credit to the original designer.  Oh dear, I sure slipped on this one.

Block:  Blockbase pattern #2022 Light ...

Working Day from Quilting My Way

This morning, I went walking with Ron. He's slipping fast. I got mad at him when he was telling me about his middle son. I guess he's been showing up and taking over for him. He's not letting Ron have any say on what he wants. I told him he need to go to Vancouver to be with his oldest son who has the control. I'm afraid the middle son will have him sign something he shouldn't, and it will take away the control his older son has.  The middle son is a sneak and ...

Summer Jubilee Sew Along Week 5 from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi Quilters!

Welcome to week 5 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

We are almost to the finish line.  By now, you have made all of the blocks, and now it is time to assemble your quilt top!

This will be an easy and fun week.

If you didn't press your blocks as you were making them, now is the time to do that.  Pressed blocks sew together better. 

I recommend pressing the seams open as indicated in the pattern, but if you press your seams to the side, you can get flatter seams by placing the blocks under ...
