Grandmother’s flower quilt – July ufo wrap up, advice for satin quiltmakers
Here it is – finished! Done and delivered to the bride and groom on their wedding weekend no less. Now, to come clean: Yes, I was sewing in the car on the way to the wedding, but I was done by the time we got to St. Cloud so really only an hour and half: …
satin quilt – grandmother’s flowers quilt
Much, much progress. I feel pretty secure that this quilt will be done in July, just the binding left to sew. I was going to flip the flowers over the edge, but I am not happy with how that looks, so I will trim them and bind them. It is easy to see the way …

a peek inside
So hopefully, if all goes as planned by Monday this will be part of a quilt sandwich. However, before I take out all of the paper patterns I used to piece this thing together with, I wanted to show you them and the short hand history of the past few years they create. In the …

ufo 2012
Judy at Patchwork Times is doing another UFO project for 2012, and I am going to give it a shot again. I had seven finishes out of twelve last year so I am feeling that I was successful. Only four of my projects are going to be a repeat for 2012 (one I just gave …
2011 ufo wrap up
1. Hawaiian quilt- This quilt I have been working on FOREVER. I am very frustrated with it. On the other hand it is potentially nearly done because it has the binding nearly on. I still feel like it needs to be quilted more. Updated December 2011: Although this is technically a finished piece, I don’t …
lost rotary cutter
I lost my rotary cutter and it was my big sewing Saturday. Sigh. So, I did what I always tell my kids to do when they can’t find something - clean. Here’s what I found: The front of a Spiderman t-shirt. A lizard embroidery. A half-finished block. A grandmother’s flower garden block from my grandmother. No, no rotary …
