Busy with EPP from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Lately, that is about all that I've been doing and enjoying it!  A whole bunch of hexies just pinned to the design wall with more hexies waiting to be prepped.

Update on my condition .... I've been down to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto and had my muscle biopsy.  Am now waiting for results.  Hopefully now the neurologist will finally know what my condition is and again, hopefully there is a treatment that will slow down my condition.  I'm hopeful but prepared for bad news.

It was after 6:00 by the time I left the hospital.  The painkiller ...

Ancient Lakes Trail from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a perfect day for hiking the Ancient Lakes Trail yesterday. We had both clouds and sun, and it kept us cool along a rather dry and unshaded path. But let's just back up to the start of the day. When I looked out our back window, this is what I saw:


Before we left, I had time to finish off the sheep. (Sorry about the wrinkles)


While we've been traveling, I learned that the designer of this pattern, Meg Hawkey, had passed away. I read that on Facebook, and I haven't ...

Carrefour - the European Quilt Show Part 3 from Humble Quilts

I especially enjoyed this exhibit!

Marithé and Didier Malfériol, originally from the Puy-de-Dôme region in France, have been collecting antique French quilts for the past fifteen years. Their collection spans from the second half of the 19th century to the 1970s and 1980s.

They are particularly interested in the origins of each piece, the techniques used, and the materials chosen. For them, every quilt is a valuable witness to craftsmanship as well as to a specific social, economic, and personal context.

In exhibitions, they enjoy letting these works “speak” in order to shed light on a popular art form that ...

Obsessed or Infatuated? from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


I've been on a mission to find out as much as I can find out about the different names of my current Vintage Rose Star project.

That led me to looking up the Oxford Union Old Library (built in 1857 by architect Benjamin Woodward.)  This library is a masterwork of Victorian Gothic architecture, originally built as the society's debating chamber before becoming a library.

Why don't we have libraries like this?!

Secret Sewing Lap Quilt - Finished and Delivered from Grandma's Red Needle

As the title says; Secret Sewing Lap Quilt is well received! 


Earlier this year, when I was going through a huge box with non-quilting quality fabrics (and all sort of other things) saved. For what?! In that box, I found
flannel - can be used
jeans - some can be used
other materials - some can be used for grocery bags
the rest - tossed / donation

Some years ago, I got jeans and flannel shirts from my DF in Norway. The idea was to make a quilt out of the 'old' flannel shirts and rugs from the denim. Did that happen? No! 
Going through ...

More tips for healthy living spaces and your health!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

 I forgot to answer one of the comments about the duplicate winter quilts. That was the second of the $10 quilts that I taught starting back in 2003 or some timeframe like that. Not home to fact-check the date. They were called $10 quilts because the students paid $10 to participate. If they didn't finish their work, they paid another $10 for the next month's pattern, and they got a piece of fabric at the same time. There were multiple variations to that process. Our store (The Hobby Horse) didn't quite follow the same rules as some ...

Still here from contemporary embroidery

 

Hi everyone, how are you?

It's been a while. 

Things have been hectic here since I returned from my trip to Paris.

In addition to tackling  piles of laundry I have a dose of man flu kindly gifted by my 

two year old grandson otherwise known as the super spreader. 

He is of course forgiven because he is so cute! 

Today though, a glimpse for you of some of my Paris haul. 

Now to find homes for it all.

Placemat Blog Hop and Charity Project from From My Carolina Home

For our sewing project for Fall Fortnight, I thought it would be nice to make something small that everyone can easily do on a domestic machine, then send to a charity to lift the spirits of the seniors and disabled folks on the Meals on Wheels client list. We need 275 placemats to meet their need here in my county. In order to help you decide what you’d like to do for yourself, your friends, or to help with our charity project, we have a special blog hop today of my fellow blogger friends, each one with a tutorial ...

Blockheads 7 - Block #1 from My Sewing Room


Spring Walk by Vanessa Goertzen is the first block in the new Blockheads 7 series.  The name of the series is Friends and Neighbors. I chose to make this one in the 12" finished size, but knew right away that I would be tweaking this design a little bit. I believe the vertical striped blocks were supposed to represent a fence or maybe a walkway.  


My initial plan was to do this series in Christmas.  The first fabric I chose included a fat quarter of the cute Christmas-y elves/gnomes.  Fussy cutting 2 pieces for those corners instead of cutting ...

Stitching News from Angie Quilts

Retreat planning is going very well. I think we are all taking enough sewing to last a couple of weeks, never mind 4 days. Still, it is much better to run out of stitching time than to run out of projects to play with isn't it.

Gail had done enough quilting on her dinosaur quilt to keep it all stable enough to trim the 'crusts' off and attach her double sided binding, a very impressive binding method, I must say. Once the binding is on, Gail will continue stitching more quilting, probably during the retreat.

This is a lesson ...

The Best Way To Start Off The Holiday Season from Podunk Pretties

This is a THANK YOU JEANINE blog post.  It's been a few years since closing my pattern writing business. Every once in awhile I still get a happy customer quilt picture. This one came at the perfect time.  I needed a little boost.  The powers that be have a funny way of knowing what we need and when.  Jeanine had no idea how much this picture would touch my heart or how much I needed it.  Heck, I didn't know it was what I needed.  Yes, it brought me to happy tears.


  This was her second attempt at ...

Playing with stash................ from Exuberant Color


This block is made from the other pieces on the Fractured Studio die.  I cut them a couple days ago and sewed them yesterday.  I have made a table topper in the past with these blocks.






I have had a quilt in the back of my mind for a few months, to be made with batiks.  I started sorting through them last night while I watched 3 hours of NCIS.







The pile in front is the pieces to be put back on one shelf.  Behind it is the pieces I have pulled for the quilt.






Even my knitting is green ...

Sampler quilt from Stitching Matters

This poor quilt had a hectic road trip. Like so many before it, it was sent from a small town about 160 km away, but it ended up 455 km away and had to be rerouted. This took almost 3 weeks, and the sender, who sent it on behalf of a friend, had a terrible time hoping it wouldn't get lost.
