More Christmas Quilt Gifts
My quilter and I called this quilt "Modern", for lack of a better name. It is an Evelyn Sloppy pattern called Apple Crisp, from her book 40 Rotary Cut Quilts. I have someone very pizzazzy in mind for this quilt. The colors are so amazing, and I think she will love it. The fabric collection is…

Christmas Gift Quilts 3 & 4
This girly quilt is going to…one of the young women in the family. Big surprise. It is called Hugs and Kisses (a Fig Tree pattern) and is made with various reds from Fig Tree collections. I like the border for this one, with the grey print making a little saw tooth design. And this is…

Christmas Gift Quilts 1 & 2
In the days leading up to Christmas, I thought it would be fun to share with you the quilts I am giving to my family members. Not all of these quilt tops were pieced in 2016. They were languishing in a box waiting to be quilted. This was the year it happened. Starting this past…

Light at the End of the Tunnel
I can see the end in the distance! I have my fourteen or fifteen gift quilts piled up on the guest room bed, and all but five of them are bound and labeled and ready to give away. I will start taking some pictures and show you all the quilts I am gifting to my…

Groovy Quilt
This is Metro Hoops, my first Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern made with their curved ruler. I love the results, but it was a struggle getting all those points to line up. I should really try another Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern, but I will have to psych myself up for it. I suggest you…

It’s A Finish
I am pretty pleased with this one. Raise the Roof by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. Jefferson County fabrics, designed by Jeanne Horton for Windham. The finished size of the quilt is 74" x 74". There are 32 sawtooth star blocks and 32 log cabin blocks. I love the "sunshine and shadow" effect the stars make…

Raise the Roof Borders
I am buried in strips here. The border for Raise the Roof involves what is called a "Piano Key" border. To achieve this, you make strip sets which you sub cut and piece together for a border. It is a great effect and uses up a ton of fabric. I am making six strip sets…

Quilts Back From Quilter
I may not be getting a lot of sewing done, but I have been on a mission sending tops out for quilting. This past week, I got three of them back, and am so pleased with the results. Tumbler is pictured above, done in various Denyse Schmidt fabrics. That quilt has such a modern…

A Table Topper for Sara
I was able to squeeze a bit of sewing into my schedule a few weeks ago, and made up this cute little table topper with some Minick and Simpson fabric from a Frivols box. I made the quilt a bit smaller than the directions called for, so that it would fit just right on Sara's…
