What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 A few months ago I was working on another scrappy Pinterest-inspired project, but I put it on hold to work on my Crossroads Wheel blocks instead. Here's the original inspiration photo, credit StitchMischief Dec. 2020. 

When last visited, I had all the blocks made and sewn into columns. I took them to Social Sewing this week and got them sewn together. Now it's a finished top:

Easy-peasy Plus blocks, black or charcoal prints against colorful low volumes. Sometimes these kinds of light prints can be hard to use so this was a good use for them, light but ...

No meetings, too cold to walk + an audiobook I had to finish (see below) = a flimsy.

6-1/4 yards by weight.

For the Mountain State Fair this past September, I wanted to enter the Twisted Snowflake that we made last year during a guild program. I thought I did a tutorial for it then, but it seems I didn’t. When I dug out the snowflake from the Christmas stuff, it was crushed due to my poor attention to packing it up. So, time to make another one. I started by fusing two pieces of fabric wrong sides together with Heat and Bond. I used a high contrast combination with one side black with gold stars, and the other a bright ...

 It's down to the wire for class prep, and everything is right on target! The best news is that I have the entire day to finish up things, so that's great. I completed something significant for the homework last night, and I was dancing around the room as it looks fantastic! 

You have to love it when things come together like that. 

It was an enjoyable day teaching my in-person class, and everyone went home with their heads filled with information. Way too much, but I took full advantage of the day, and they will now have to ...

I got a lot of stitching time this week. My daughter, Kalissa, was over one day, and we binge-watched a series for much of the day. I stitched the whole way through it. The series was pretty racy, so I spent lots of time stitching. HA! Last week, I showed you that my Tiny Town …

If you remember shattered lines all the way back in episode 7? We’re bringing it back this week and teaching you how to do a version with decorative stitching! Like all decorative stitch designs, you can change which settings you use for endless combinations and variety. Check out the video below to learn more:

Shattered Lines on Little Man’s Fancy

In the video I showed you how I quilted regular shattered lines on Little Man’s Fancy. This quilt actually comes from the first book I ever wrote, Machine Quilting With Style. It’s also the first time ...

Yea today was one of those days, I didn't do squat! Don't I know it! I have a ton of stuff I could have done but didn't. 

I did go and pick up my embroidery that was framed! I love it. But if I post it, it will be a gift that was "let out of the bag." So, I will post it later, after it's given away. I did do laundry - oh wow! As if I don't do that every day! 

I know! I have so much that needs to be done, and what ...

Quilted this one snowy day recently. I think I finished the top about a year ago. A ruler kept the lines mostly straight. I like it so may bind it and keep it around a while.

I like simple basic quilting and straight lines on quilts with Civil War fabrics. Adds to the authentic look. Though it should have more quilting for that. 

I finished the 8 stars and made 4 more. I think I'll pass these on to the ladies in the church group to finish up the top. They can surprise me with what setting and border ...

 In looking over the magnificent mystery at Meadow Mist Designs, I just realized I’ve used the wrong colors. Good grief how can I be so stupid.  Here is what the pattern required and I’m using the bottom row, with the black background.   I’ve made A as my background with of course not enough fabric and way too much black..  I don’t know what to do I could just keep going and I have some other cream fabric I could use. I guess the other colors would play together but I really wanted a black background!!  And ...

 Almost done with these, will be ready for the next clue.  I’m thinking I need to recount these!  We need some BLUE!  

 Here are the rest

Happy Friday, quilters! This week's quilts all came in finished from Beth H. Thanks so much to her for the generous support!

I loved the quilting on this first quilt, but my favorite in the set is this brown and blue one, below.

It does funny things to your eyes. Beth says it was a mystery quilt. I think the curved quilting panto really adds to all the very straight pricing.

And lastly, a beautiful, vibrant, harvest quilt made of sampler blocks. With a corresponding leafy quilting panto.

Thank you to Beth and everyone who continues to support Covered ...

I am human…I admit it. So…around my birthday, I often buy myself a couple of things. It might be a cross stitch chart…I might go out to eat an extra time. This year I bought two new kitchen gadgets, and I love them both. I thought I would tell you about them as they are …
