Stars of Peace #11 from Nestlings By Robin

 Welcome back for block 11, In Flight

This month's block is BB#1124, 
and attributed to Nancy Page 
(Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia).

The original block name is Wild Duck.
I altered it to become a plane because,
for better or worse, aviation changed not
just how we travel but how we war.
As soon as man finds a new way to
do something, he sadly finds a way
to use it as a weapon.
Below are the links to how aviation
changed the world.
WW2
My grandfather was completely 
enamored of flight and wanted to fly

Done, done, and DONE! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Thanks for the heads up on the links. I have to click each link twice to get the HTTPS thing at the beginning. I've been very careful, but perhaps I've slipped up on a couple. I will attempt to pay even more attention to that little detail!

I did not post about Colour My World yesterday, nor will I do it today. I'll aim for tomorrow. Today, it's all about the finishes! 

I have hosted the UFO Club for over five years, and in that time, things have gotten done not only for me but for ...

It's been cold here in the south, but this is the only snow we have at our house :-)  



I made this landscape quilt a couple of years ago, when our family went on a trip to West Virginia.  My kids love to snowboard.

Happy Quilting!

Design boards from Just Sew Sue

 

Yesterday I did some cutting out for a pattern that I am designing. I pulled out my 18" design board to keep the pieces in some sort of orderly fashion. I made these design boards according to Lori Holt's instructions here. I ask my local framer to cut the mount board into 18" squares for a small cost. I also use premade bias tape for speed.  I don't however use a hot glue gun as I haven't mastered using one and I end up with big blobs of glue everywhere. Have you made any of these design ...

Little things......................... from Exuberant Color


These 2 little mats have been sitting in my studio waiting for the stitching around the edge for at least 6 months.  All it takes is changing to a topstitching needle and filling a bobbin with the heavier thread.  I kept avoiding doing that.  Finally last night I got them done.  They have one layer of batting and one layer of a stiff heavier interfacing (not as heavy as Peltex).


The backs are Kaffe fabrics too.

They are close to 8.5" x 11", one a tiny bit larger than the other.




There was one more top already pieced so ...

Design Wall Monday - January 19, 2026 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Good Morning Quilters!

Some bloggers pick a word to guide them in a new year.  I have sometimes done this in the past.  When I was thinking about it today, I mused that my word for 2026 has been “slow” so far.  

And also the word “snow”.  Here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we have had steady snow this past week, and many schools are closed today.  7 - 8 inches are on the ground now and more is coming.  We are all hunkered down here and are not going outside unless necessary,  

Here is a picture of Penny Lane to show ...

I am determined to keep my quilting projects moving along. That led me to be up early on Monday morning at the sewing machine. Last week I had cut out some of the sashing and cornerstone pieces for my Emerald City quilt. Monday morning I sewed all of the nine patches that are needed for …

BABY CHATMAN QUILT! from Kwilty Pleasures

A new great-grand daughter arrives in January.
I made her quilt, long before she was a gleam in her daddies eyes!

I was at Ocean Isle Beach a few years ago and made
a test pattern using Into the Woods Jelly Rolls...
I've always loved Lil'' Red !

The pattern was called TYPE and a very quick and easy make.


There was a local garden, not far from the beach
so I made a journey there for a photo op...
Into the Woods.



Then home it came and sat on a shelf for several years.
Now that Baby Chatman was ...

Signed Up For A Virtual Class from Quilting My Way

 Here I go again. As if I don't have enough going on, I signed up for another Brazilian Embroidery Class! Just what I needed. But I do love the Stumpwork Glads that Loretta Holzberger designed and is teaching! She's so much fun. 

Today I was working on the laundry. Then forgot about it. I was playing my games and then decided it was time to get moving on my leg warmers. I seriously had trouble reading and seeing the pattern! The more I did what was told, the more it didn't look right. Once I figured out ...

The city is full of great walking paths.

“Neighbors” from All Pressing Matters

My neighbor, Paula is definitely one of the best we’ve ever had. There are so many times she’s helped me out, either with chicken broth or taking my doggie out when I’m gone longer than I’d planned. We really don’t keep track of the favors but I wanted to make her something special.

“Won’t you be my neighbor?”

This is one of the most interesting quilts I’ve made. It’s so clever how the pieces go together to make beautiful blocks. I enjoyed making this it so much, it was so peaceful to ...
