Chookshed Challenge completed from Romany Quilting

I'm so pleased that I have my Chookshed challenge for June completed - especially as  May was a non event for me.  I started with this, all the little blocks embroidered and ready to go.  I really enjoyed stitching these little beauties.

Starting point

This kit also provided a pattern to make a wall hanging, so that is what I decided on.  So I added some red/green/gold sashing and started assembling the blocks.  This was a little tricky as the middle row was a bit too long compared to the outer rows.  So it was unpicked and just ...

Too Many Men Wall Hanging - A Finished UFO from Grandma's Red Needle

I have a few FINISHED UFO's to show. I'll start with this one.
This post has been in draft mode since April, just waiting for photos. 
Photos were finally done today, but due to strong glare from the sun and blue sky, they didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Oh well... I'm not a photographer! 


Since I finished my goal for April early (Dwellings), I thought it would be nice to finish a smaller quilt; the snowmen wall hanging. 
I'm not sure when I started working on this one. 
I purchased the panel ...

Imagine and Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome. There isn't much happening here but today I changed up the quilts on the one wall of the house that I can re-organise. I wanted to share my Imagine quilt - it's as good a time as any.

Imagine - 2015 Music Challenge


I can't believe that it's already been 10 years since this quilt was created for our guild's Music Challenge. I had a lot of fun putting it together and even more fun FMQ it. You can read the blog posts (see Related links below) if you're interested.

Sweet Baby and a sweet surprise from Elsie Quilts

The label went on, the record page is in my scrapbook, and this one is officially done. It will likely go to Basically Babies, but I like it so much that I might wait to see if someone near has a baby in their near future. It is a panel. I added the borders and find the color combination exciting. A name didn't come to mind so just used the writing on the fabric.

My surprise? This quilt below was made in a class in 2007. The teacher had been with Ricky Tims and was given permission to teach ...

Christmas In July Sew Along from From My Carolina Home

It’s week 1 of our sew/quilt along, and I have designed a small wall hanging that I’ve been wanting to make for some time. Have you seen those fun art pieces using broken jewelry? I have a lot of that, and designed this piece to use them. Don’t worry, if you don’t have any broken jewelry, I’ll give you more ideas when we get to that. The size is fairly small about 16 x 18. It has a front pocket that can be used in multiple ways. I’ll show you how to use ...

Christmas In July Starts Today from From My Carolina Home

Maybe it is the heat outside, but thinking about winter is a pleasant prospect for me right now. There are so many things we could play with for Christmas projects, some in fabric, some in paper, and some with a glue gun. A lot of bloggers are doing Christmas In July posts now, so let’s join the fun. I have a new project for you, a wall hanging that will hopefully surprise and delight you, while being a Stashbuster in more ways than one. That sew/quilt-along will begin on Tuesday. I haven’t yet finished the project myself ...

FMQ Swirling Leaves 3 on Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome to week 569 of Free Motion Mavericks. I want to emphasize that this linking party is all about the quilter guiding the machine, whether it's a domestic sewing machine or a long-arm. We do this by using free motion quilting, ruler work or a walking foot. This party is as inclusive as possible as we share our quilting journeys.

Progress on Swirling Leaves 3 for Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome to week 454 of Free Motion Mavericks. I hope you had a safe All Hallows' Eve! It was uneventful here except for the snow on the ground in the morning. Of course it was all melted by the afternoon! I guess we know what's coming! ⛄ 

Swirling Leaves 3


I am making a third edition of Swirling Leaves for Danielle, my daughter's friend who got married on the weekend. 

Final (?) leaf placement

After making the first two, I wanted to see what would happen if I used a lighter background. I was a little nervous about ...

Spring Forward from Romany Quilting

Spring has officially arrived in my part of paradise, and along with it came Daylight Saving, so we had to put the clocks forward one hour last week.  I’m always so impressed that the computers and cell phones know how to do this themselves, so it’s only a couple of household clocks and those in the cars  which need to be altered, plus watches too of course.

The last reasonably pleasant days of Winter have given way to the tumultuous Spring weather.  It’s always so much more windy in Spring, it’s been rather wet off and ...

Colour Change from Romany Quilting

The colour for those of us taking part in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) has changed this month to aqua.  In my mind, aqua also encompasses the  shades of turquoise and teal.  Once again, not shades I have a huge amount of, but I found enough strips and small pieces to cut and stitch blocks for my two Little Bricks projects.

Little Bricks

We took a trip up to Palmerston North on Thursday to get the many staples removed from Robin’s knee, in fact we counted 28 of them!  The nurse had some sort of handy little implement which ...

Christmas in July – Part Two from From My Carolina Home

Today we’ll finish the sew along / embroidery project. If you are visiting from Sarah’s blog hop 12 Days of Christmas in July over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, welcome! I hope you’ll consider following my blog, too (see the right sidebar for ways to follow). This past week was time to do your embroideries and trim them to 6-1/2-inches square, and also to cut the squares needed for finishing the project.

Sew 18 scrappy squares into 6 sets of three squares in a row. Press to one side.

Sew a square set to the right ...
