Volcanic Island – Construction Reconstruction

I feel like November is going to be a month of finishes.  And here is one of my favorite finishes: Volcanic Island – Construction Reconstruction. I began this quilt in July of 2008, so it has taken me more than four years to get it done, but here it is and I love it!  I am …

November ufo

What quilt is this that laid to rest under my sewing table for nearly a year?  Can you see it peeking out of the random materials I laid on top of it?  Yes, we are finally back to the denim cathedral windows quilt. I have great faith that I will finish it in November. Now, …

Paul’s quilt wrapup

We had  a great weekend camping but I’m running a little late.  Here is the wrap up of Paul’s quilt. Now, I don’t generally like working with a client, even when he is my own son.  However, he pretty much had two stipulations: red and black.  Many of the t-shirt panels are his own clothes. …

Yes, I did

Yes, I cut into a finished technically finished quilt- bound and everything.  Septemeber’s ufo is the Hawaiian quilt. I cut out all of the squares out.  I plan to reassemble them closer together.  I didn’t like how far apart they were. I have a lot of scraps to add as well.  I’m excited about it now, but it …

flames

This is what did with the painted fabric.  I cut it really small and sewed it down.  I love the way it turned out.  I still have to finish the rest of the houses.
