Friday check in: SAHRR, a bag created, and a bag rescued from With Strings Attached

I've had a productive day and a half!

This is month #7 for the guild BOM. The February house block is in the center with its predecessors around it.

SAHRR with round #5, quarter log cabins. They fit! I am very pleased with the way this is turning out.

I posted this photo on Monday. I intended to make wheelchair quilt (36 x 45). I finished the quilting--just an easy swirl, no sweat. When I trimmed the edges I trimmed one long side TOO much and it looked.....not right. I could have bound it "not right" and given ...

Botanical Beauty QAL: Fabric and Supplies from Nestlings By Robin

We are 1 day away from starting

the Botanical Beauty QAL and I

don't even have time for ironing-LOL!

If you are new to the conversation,

go read the introduction HERE...

we will wait:)

Fabrics:

As you can see in the photo above, there

are more than just 1 red, white, or blue.

I didn't quite go scrappy nor did I

stick to my usual organized, cohesive look.

I decided to mix it up a bit this time.

The pattern will have overall yardage (ex. Red- #yards)

and if you choose to go a bit scrappier, just

Botanical Beauty QAL: Introduction from Nestlings By Robin

BOTANICAL BEAUTY:

This design is a culmination of many

of my designs over the years

(some published, some not).

The 250th birthday felt like the

right time to be 'GRAND'.

This is the biggest, most grand

design I have ever attempted and

I am grateful that you are here

for the journey!

I hope that those of you new to applique'

will give it a try. There are many methods

out there and we will discuss

many of them over the next year.

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.
After joining the Coast Guard ...

Friday check in: catching up with a finish, BOM, SAHRR and more from With Strings Attached

On the home front: Thirty birthday cards arrived this week. THANK YOU!

The dishwasher repairman came late Monday. He pried off the lower panel, plugged a gizmo into a gauge or something, and got a readout that said the dishwasher had run 1,586 cycles since installation. That was interesting. He then replaced a water intake valve. Here's the important part. He said he guessed that I used the economy cycle (51 min.). He was right. It turns out that's wrong and I should use the normal cycle. That pushes more water through the valve and keeps it ...

Stars of Peace QAL: Introduction from Nestlings By Robin

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.

After joining the Coast Guard myself,

I met and married my husband then

followed him in his 30 years of service.

We were fortunate to be able to see

a great deal of the country through

our moves, learning the history and culture

of many regions.

It was an honor to be a part of the

Coast Guard and its missions.

As a quilter, I am involved with the

Quilts of Valor Foundation.

The foundation's mission is an

important message to those that

serve our country, you ...

what is the difference… from Moda Lissa

What is the Difference Between a QAL and a BOM in the Quilting World?

If you’ve been part of the quilting community for any length of time, you’ve probably come across the terms QAL and BOM. While these acronyms are common in the quilting world, they represent two distinct ways of tackling a quilt project. Both are popular, and both create a sense of community, but they cater to different types of quilters and schedules. One of the sales professionals ay Moda always says we need more Bom’s. With over 50 creative designers creating projects I spent ...

Natalie Doan of Missouri Star was the guest speaker at the guild meeting Wednesday. I didn't get any good pictures! It was fun to hear her side of the family business.

This is the final month for the guild round robin. I got right to work and added borders to CB's quilt. I can't show you the entire flimsy until next month's reveal, but you can see one of the Tula Pink owls that AK added.

Crimson Tweed Update from Alamosa Quilter

On Thursday of last week I put the final seed stitch, which is how I hand quilted this, in my version of Crimson Tweed.

I've been working on this for quite some time! I started quilting it in October of 2022. I worked on it most Thursday afternoons at my shop during our Hand Sewing Group. Sometimes store sewing took precedent and I had to get it done instead of working on my Crimson Tweed, but I tried to not let store sewing get in the way very often.

The last step is binding, a label and a hanging ...

Collecting Fabric Today from Quilting My Way

This morning was Quilting at moms. I had a few places to stop along the way. I canceled one for Monday. Got to moms by 9:30 am. We visited before everyone started coming in.

I worked on moms BOM.

I finished the leaves - or thought I did.

The leaves in the center was done wrong. Took them out and started all over. I just need the circles on top of the leaves on top. Will finish them later.

Left at noon to drop off backing and batting. Next stop ( after Dutch Brothers) was to Debbie's. Picked her up ...

July's Block! from Quilt Doodle Doodles

It's so hard to believe that it's July! It has been a dryer week so far and I'm so happy to see the sunshine. Hubby spent the weekend fortifying our garden fence while I replanted green beans. I think it's the bunnies that are enjoying the fresh vegetable plants. I've never in my life bought green bean plants, I've always planted by seed, but I am determined to have fresh green beans this year. I've given up on kohlrabi... this year and I'm starting to question how much I'll really get ...

Hello Friday - And Quilting At Mom's from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up at 6:30 am because of all the sun coming through the windows. I couldn't go back to sleep even if I tried.

So, I played on my game and then got ready to go to moms. I stopped at Safeway to pick up a couple things. Once that was done, I arrived at moms with a few people behind me. There were 7 of us today.

I pulled out the pattern that I needed for the first block.

Birds! from twiddletails

It seems to be a bird-y kind of year so far. This is a total coincidence but I love them!

"Chirp!" by Sue Spargo is a project I started with two friends. We're making one block a month.

My quilt guild holds a "block lotto" every so often. Everyone brings one or more blocks of a given design. Afterward, there is a drawing where someone wins all the blocks. Unfortunately, I was at a retreat last time, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these cuties.

You can find the pattern over here and ...
