August's Block from Quilt Doodle Doodles

Happy August! It's hard to believe that summer is almost coming to an end. We just got back from our family vacation to Swan Lake a couple of weeks ago. We had a wonderful time; the weather was perfect. It was a great break from the day to day and our vacation flew by too quickly. Did you know August is my anniversary month for Quilt Doodle Designs. Fourteen years ago, I started designing patterns, the idea came to me at quilt retreat. I had no idea that doodling drawings to make appliques at retreat would lead me on ...

RSC Week #29 - AQUA from Grandma's Red Needle

HAPPY END OF JULY!

How come it's second half of July already?!

I haven't posted anything this month. July is the start of prepping Christmas items for my Etsy shop and is always a busy month. I've worked mostly on Advent Calendars, mug rugs and trivets.

Angela at SuperScrappy has chosen AQUA for this month's RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) scrappy color, shades of blue leaning towards green.

Hmmm.... That's a tricky color for me, as I don't have many prints in that color. I've done a mix of aqua, turquoise and teal. It ...

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 ...

RSC Week #23 - More Blues from Grandma's Red Needle

June is a busy month here at Grandma's Red Needle.

BLUE was selected by Angela at SuperScrappy as the RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge - color for June.

I have several blue WIPs and with the head start last week, I made several blocks for some of the WIPs.

This week I've made

4 Scrap Jar blocks

New BOM block from Sherri McConnel, 'A Quilting Life'

I'm currently working on BLUE Advent Calendars (no photos yet) for my Etsy Shop

I like to start early, to avoid 'stress-sewing' closer to the Advent Season.

Linking up with Angela and RSC ...

RSC Week 19 - more PINK from Grandma's Red Needle

It's PINK - again!

Pink is May's chosen color for the RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I ran out of background fabric for the BOM from Sherri McConnel; 'A Quilting Life'.

For the previous blocks I have used Moda Marbles 'cream' (not available anymore).

Instead, I purchased 'Baby White', which is slightly more yellowish, but that's OK. It's scrappy, after all!

BOM: May

When I joined RSC last year (2023), I sorted most of my fabrics on color.

After I made Arreli's quilt, I don't have much pink left. I had to dig deep into my ...

RSC Week #14 - Yellow for April from Grandma's Red Needle

HAPPY APRIL!

Easter came and went, I hope you all had some relaxing and nice days. For us, it was all normal days. In Norway, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday are all public holidays. None public holidays for Easter in Mauritius. I never get the feeling of Easter here, except seeing the odd chocolate Easter bunnies and Easter eggs in the supermarkets.

New month and new color!

Angela at SoScrappy has chosen YELLOW for April's RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I don't know about you, but I prefer doing the RSC blocks the first week(s) in ...

RSC Week #6 - RED Blocks and BOM from Grandma's Red Needle

Another week has passed and it's time for RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge - update.

My intention was not to participate in any BOM or QAL this year, because I have way too many UFOs that have to be finished.

Did I stick to that? Nope! I couldn't resist Sherri McConnel's 'A Quilting Life' BOM 2024. A new block is posted first Monday of each month. I'm doing the blocks in scrappy RSC colors and here is the January block in green. The blocks come in two sizes; 8" and 16". I'm doing the 16" (more scraps ...

From Green to Red - RSC February Color from Grandma's Red Needle

HAPPY SCRAPPY FEBRUARY!

How did it become February already? I'm sure you've noticed; February has 29 days - leap year - more time for quilting!

February means a new RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) color, and RED is chosen by Angela at soscrappy.blogspot.com

Since February 1 was midweek, we got some extra days playing with GREEN (RSC January color)

It has been a long time since I participated in a BOM (Block-Of-the-Month. I did not intend participating in any this year either, but then I came across Sherri McConnel's A Quilting Life BOM 2024. A new block is ...
