Joys of the Little Black Dress
So happy with my elegant Easter tablescape! I finished Joy Luck (pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company), made from the beautiful Little Black Dress fabric collection by Basic Grey for Moda. I quilted it with the wiggle stitch on my Bernina, and am pleased as can be with the results. I had…

Little Black Dress A.B.D.
A.B.D. All But Done. Not quite finished with my Little Black Dress/Joy Luck table runner. I got most of it quilted yesterday, all except two borders. I really do love that little wiggle stitch. My mission today is to finish that up, get the binding on and maybe make a little tablescape on the dining…

What Are You Doing NOW?
I just can't help it. With Another Year of Schnibbles on hiatus, I am really missing the nudge from Sinta and Sherri to make another Schnibbles table topper. Besides, I need small projects on which to keep practicing my machine quilting so I don't get rusty. I have a feeling machine quilting is not like…

Mini Cherry Baskets
This is my little homage to Thelma's Door County Cherry Basket Quilt. I used some of her leftover black and brown triangles, and some of my beautiful red charm squares from Primitive Gatherings. The patterns for the basket blocks came from Miss Rosie's "Picnic" Schnibbles pattern. The blocks are 6 inch finished. My offering is…

Doing It My Way
You will be seeing this quilt on a couple of blogs today. This is Thelma's (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) Door County Cherry Baskets quilt. It was a pattern designed by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. Ever since Thelma started this quilt I have wanted one too. Primitive Gatherings was offering the quilt as a kit, which…

The quilt measures 20 inches square, and is made from Chateau Rouge fabrics by French General for Moda. The pattern has three versions for the quilt, and I chose to make the largest.…

My Favorite Schnibbles
Aw gee. I feel like Sophie's Choice here. How can I pick my favorite? Sherri and Sinta's challenge for January is to post a photo of our favorite Schnibbles. I am quite partial to Bennington, made with a fun collection by Sandy Gervais. It definitely was my favorite Fall Schnibbles. I also like the quilting…

Stop, Drop and Roll
I worked a bit on my Little Bites "Drop" project while the baby took her nap yesterday. All I have to say about this miniscule little project is………….. It is absurdly, ridiculously fun. These teensy little blocks are the end result of quite a bit of trimming at each step of construction, but so worth…

Seriously?
I got excited to make one of Carrie Nelson's new Little Bites patterns, and since I had two packs of those mini charm squares on hand, I cut out some fabric yesterday. "Drop" is the name of the pattern, and I plan to make the version pictured at the bottom of the pattern photo. Adorable,…

I Won Something
I was a very lucky winner of a fat eighth bundle of gorgeous fabric last week. Sinta and Sherri are hosting a fun sew along called "Another Year of Schnibbles", and have several sponsors who provide prizes to the participants of the sew along at the end of each month. My name was drawn and…
