what do you do when you are waiting to buy fabric
I am waiting to go get fabric with my friend today. I am really excited to go with someone who is not just going as a favor to me, but rather is excited to go the fabric store. Plus, there is a giant sale at Joanne’s. Please don’t go, I hate crowds. So yesterday I didn’t have …
beginnings and enders
So, in the process of finishing my denim rug ufo, I got out all of my denim scraps to make more strips. But because I am a quilter or crazy, I couldn’t just cut the strips. I had to cut a new batch of ender leaders. 2014 ufo here I come!
John and Missy’s quilt
This is a quilt I made over ten years ago for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding. I was reminded of it when I was cutting charms. I saw it a few years ago at their house and it was in surprisingly good shape, because my sil is such a careful steward. Anyway, speaking of memories: The …
charms
I did something fun last week. I cut some 2 1/2 squares for a friend who is doing a charm quilt. She suggested that I cut some for myself as well. This is what I ended up with: a snapshot of my scrap collection. This is every quilting fabric I have in my scraps. To …
51 plus request for advice…
So I finally counted my grandmother’s flower quilt and I have 51 “flowers”. Here is the crazy Roberta count: 9 brown, 7 blue, 6 pink, 6 green, 6 plaid, 4 gold, 4 peach, 3 green plaid, 2 white, 2 pink floral, 1 different green, 1 peach plaid. Yes, that is 51, and worse, only 5 …
not sure
Well, I am nearing the end of this quilt. It is a quilt for Paul. He specifically chose red and black as the color scheme. Then, we went to the fabric store and he fell in love with this Asian themed fabric. He said for me to use as much as possible in his quilt. I’m not completely …
denim ender leader wrap up
With the holidays, I missed showing you some projects that I finished for gifts. Here is the finished ender leader denim quilt. I am very happy with how it turned out. It is backed with polar fleece, then I simply brought the edges up and over and used a zigzag stitch to create the binding. …
quilting queue
I finished pin basting two more quilts yesterday morning: This one is pinned at least. I don’t have any intention on how to quilt it yet. Next week I probably will do some hand quilting on Saturday morning. I backed it with red polar fleece (you can see a little bit in the right corner) so it will …
denim quilt
I finished my first ender leader quilt top. Now it just needs to be quilted. What an easy project! I love these simple denim quilts because they have a real minimist appeal. You can barely see it but I did some hand stitching. The stitching is just long parallel lines of running stitches. I need to pick up …
another small quilt top done
Here is the second small quilt top done. I think I love this one even more. I had the large center completed when I started. It was left over from the Valentine quilt I made last April for Mary Beth. I used improvisational piecing to put the rest of the blocks together. I used almost no measuring. Much …
