Stringalong Quilt Finished!
I am so happy with this finish! Putting the blocks together was a project and a half, and I admit to getting bogged down when it came to sewing them together. The blocks have been on my design wall for weeks and weeks. The pattern is Signs of String by Clark Street Quilts and the…

It’s a Red and White Christmas
It's a red and white Christmas at my house. My quilter sent home my red and white quilt just in time for the holidays. It still needs its bindings, but that can happen during the next few days. I photographed it outside my sewing room, next to my upstairs tree, where it looks very Christmassy…

Red and White Quilt Finally a Finish
It is with a rather large feeling of relief that I tell you that my red and white quilt is finally a finish. The blocks started out as a Christmas sew along sponsored by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. The sew along was just a jumping off point for me, as I made a…

Holiday Quilt Countdown
Here is a little sideways view of my almost completed red and white Christmas quilt. I have been getting up into the sewing room sporadically and making the rest of the flying geese. Only three more strips of ten geese to go, then I will assemble the sections. The final step will be to add…

Four Bindings, Done!
I'm proud to say I applied myself to the task and completed the bindings on four quilts over the weekend. Three of them were table runners, but they are done and I am enjoying them as part of the Fall decor. That's my dining table above. The runner is my own creation. Inspired by a…

A Profusion of Bindings
Well, I have somehow nodded off and woken up to ten quilts needing bindings. How did that even happen? This one has been sitting on the back of the couch in the library for a month, waiting for me to hand sew it down. Five more unbound quilts are lined up on the upstairs railing. …

End of the Week Progress Report
Time for a little progress update. I have been doing things, I swear. I got this last minute little table runner on the table on July 4. Actually, I have had it a couple of weeks but only finished the binding on Wednesday. I love the little stars and swirl quilting design. You can see…

Time To Be Quilted
My little Patriotic quilts are stacking up. I think it's time for them to go off and be quilted! I was considering quilting the smaller ones myself, but I am so much happier with the results when I send them out to be done professionally. This one, "Faithful", may be my favorite. It turned out…

Liberty Road is a Finish
This pattern is an oldie but a goodie. It is Liberty Road by Minick and Simpson. I have wanted to make it for quite some time, and finally got around to it. It doesn't have an outer border, although you could add one on if you wanted to. I think the pattern is supposed to…

This Is Going to Take a While.
Hope this photo doesn't make anybody dizzy. I have all the blocks made for the Jo Morton S'mores quilt–I believe there are 113 square in a square blocks and 28 pieced setting triangles, and 4 pieced corner triangles. I think I am going to love this quilt when I get it put together, but the…
