Looking Glass, A Finish
I managed to finish Looking Glass, but not get a very good picture of it. Looking Glass is a pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. The fabric I used was mostly Old Glory Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings, but I tossed in some Minick and Simpson, French General and odd pieces from my…

Ashcombe, Together At Last
Yesterday I buckled down and got the rows all sewn together for Ashcombe. It still needs its piano key border, which will finish it off nicely. I have it draped over the upstairs railing for the photo. It would have been a good idea to give the top a good shaking to get all…

Steampunk, A Finish
I don't know when I have worked on a quilt I have enjoyed more! This is Steampunk, by Jenn Kingwell, an Australian designer you are going to be hearing a lot more about. The block is a very old fashioned one, also called Propeller. The fabrics I used were scraps of Denyse Schmidt fabrics…

Second Hand Clothes, A Finish
I am so pleased with this quilt. Every single bit of it, I love. The pattern is Second Hand Clothes by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline, and the fabrics mostly Kim Diehl designs over the past year or two. There is a vibrancy to the quilt that makes my eye dance over its surface. There is liveliness,…

Jeff’s Quilt

It’s A Wrap, Finally
At last, I got the rows all sewn together for my Jacob's Ladder/Go Four It project. The quilt is ample sized for my queen size bed, measuring 72 x 90 inches. You can see there is lots of nice overhang on the sides. No borders on this quilt. The pinks are summery and the greens…

Baby Quilt Finish
This is the little quilt that Sara and I collaborated on. Some dear friends had their first baby, a little boy, and this quilt just seems so appropriate. Daddy is a helicopter pilot, so the pinwheel design of the blocks seems sort of aeronautically themed. The quilt was beautifully quilted by Mary Flynn of Quilt…

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring
Ozzie has taken up residence under the bed. Wowie, have we ever had some big storms here where I live the past few days. Ozzie doesn't care for it much at all, and to Eva's great amusement, took refuge in her bed. She discovered him there at naptime, and figured it meant since he was…

Getting It Together
My Flowering Snowball quilt is a finish! It took no time at all to get the blocks finished and the rows sewn together. This will be a beautiful quilt for Eva to use on her bed this summer. She is thrilled with it, and immediately wanted to lie down under it to pretend it was…
