Some Sewing, Some Changes
I haven't been completely idle this week. You might not be able to tell, but I did get the top row of my Base Camp table runner sewn together. I plan to wrap this project up today. Love that Timber fabric by Sweetwater. On another topic, do any of you subscribe to the Fat Quarter…

I’m Ba-ack, But Not In the Saddle
Oh dear. I seem to be suffering from another quilting-related injury. This has happened to me before, and I've been suffering with it for over a week. I am having trouble with that fat pad right under my right thumb. I think it is a soft tissue injury due to all the rotary cutting trimming…

Catching Up on Piece and Quilt Blocks and Red Sampler Quilted
I thought it was time to get back to my August Piece and Quilt blocks while it is still August. I am quite happy with these two blocks. The red one is Maple Leaf and the blue and grey one is Texas Puzzle. I've laid the blocks out as they will be positioned in the…

What a Busy Day in the Sewing Room
I got so much done in my sewing room yesterday I can hardly believe it. Wait 'til I show you what all I accomplished. In the photo above, you can see that I got the lattice pieces all attached to the Summer in the Country quilt. Today I hope to sew the rows together. It…

Red Sampler Quilt is a Finish!
My Red Sampler Quilt was truly a labor of love. I feel like I was working on it off and on for a couple of years! This was a sew-along hosted by Lori Holt on her blog Bee In My Bonnet. Each week she posted a detailed tutorial on how she constructed the blocks. You…

Let’s Talk About One Block Quilts
I admit it, for the past few years I have been a huge fan of sampler quilts. I've made quite a few of them, and really enjoy the challenge that comes with tackling a variety of blocks with different levels of difficulty. A sampler quilt features multiple different quilt block designs within a single quilt…

Halloween 1904 A Blast From the Past
This is nuts, but I am really terrible about taking the final step to have my quilt tops quilted. It is expensive for one thing, and I (used to at least) make a lot of quilts. This quilt is called Halloween 1904 and was a pattern put out by Blackbird Designs in 2012 I think.…

Summer Memories, Finished!
I am so proud of this quilt! Summer Memories, a pattern by Susan Ache, is finished. The sew-along was sponsored by Fat Quartershop, based on a quilt pattern from the book by Susan Ache called Summer Memories. The quilt pattern itself is called Picnic, I believe. Honestly, I found it rather tedious to make. All…

Antique Reproduction Quilt
I got a quilt back from the quilter last week. It sometimes takes me a while to finish things, and this quilt has been waiting for going on 10 years to be quilted. It is such a beautiful quilt and I am so glad I finally sent it out. It is a monster, 91" square,…
