Trimming, Layouts, and Getting There
I went gangbusters on my Message in a Bottle blocks while I was on my quilting retreat. I finished the 42 pinwheel blocks before I left and finished up the 56 square in a square blocks while vacationing. Then they all had to be trimmed. Soon as I got home, I set up camp on…

The Back of the Quilt
Seriously? Yes, this is the back of a quilt. The quilter used different colors of bobbin thread to be sure that a fabulous design was created on the back of the quilt as well as on the front. Incredible, isn't it? Last week I went on a little quilting retreat with friends, and stayed in…

The pieces resemble facets of gem stones to my eye. Smokey quartz and sapphires. The design is so deceptively simple. It looks so complex,…

It’s a Pinwheel Party!
I finished all the half square triangles for my pinwheel blocks. Woo hoo, it's a pinwheel party. A plethora of pinwheels. Plenty of trimming on these little guys, but so worth it to have them all come out a perfect 3 1/2 inches square. I am using my Precision Trimmer for the job. It really…

Simply Irresistible
Have you ever in your life seen anything so adorable? Me either. I had to have it. It is a Chateau Rouge kit put together by Country Sampler. I have talked about presentation on this blog in the past, and nobody does it better than Country Sampler. I have a project in mind for this…

Finish the Old, Start Something New?
I took my own advice and rummaged around a bit in the old stash cupboards this past weekend. Oh my, look what was hiding away in a plastic project box labeled "Pretty Maids". At first I had no clue what "Pretty Maids" meant. I have glanced at this box a hundred times over the past…
