center part quilted!
Yes, I got the quilt center machine quilted. It’s such a cheerful springy quilt to work on here in the freezing cold. I have to say my intern worked on it all week. She did two or three flowers a day. These photos show the quilting poorly, but I did half echo quilt and half in …
Getting it done
I’m following along with Judy’s Getting it Done project at Patchwork Times. So for January I really want to get done: 1. Get the background of the center part of the Ducky quilt pieced. 2. Get the flowers appliqued to the center part of the Ducky quilt. 3. Pick a pattern and fabric for my …
trying to catch a little spring
I’m finally caught up with Christmas enough to do a little non-Christmas sewing. I framed up these little flowers. I also ran all of the four patch blocks through the machine yesterday. I love the way the amount of patchwork divides in half as you piece it, each time it is run through the machine only half as many …
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 …
technical difficulties, September ufo
So, this is the second time I am publishing this due to the word press glitch. Hopefully, that is my third and final technical difficulty. Anyway, yesterday started with me dumping my smoothie all over myself. I decided not to let it get to me. Then, I was humming along making much progress, when I …
whew!
I started piecing these blocks back together and I love them! I even used a new technique that I had never tried before that created those think lines of orange. That orange is actually the back fabric. I sewed the blocks together back side together. Then I had the seam allowances on the front. I …
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 …
he likes it
Yes, he likes it! He spent the whole evening wrapped up in it! Sorry about the picture, but I snapped it in the middle of present opening, so he wanted to move on.
September ufo
This month’s ufo is number 11. This quilt is technically done but yet I still don’t like it. I have been thinking about cutting it up and assembling it again because there are a lot of elements I love about it.
August ufo part 2
Yes, I did, not one but two ufos in August. And I completed them both! This rug I am really excited about because it came out so thick and wonderful. The denim strips are very tightly packed and it makes an excellent bath mat. I wish I had thought a little more about color when …
