Hello Quilty Buddies! Over the past week I slowly worked on finishing another (100) 3.5 inch Bow-Tie quilt blocks. While pressing them I had to pull out a few of my favorite blocks. Although I'm usually not fond of purple, I make exceptions for prints that are cute or pretty, allowing them a special place in my heart. The six on the bottom are just a few.
It might be time to address some concerns if your quilting project starts to resemble food.
Hi quilty friends! Progress is being made on the Twinkler quilt. The quilting is fairly light with very little ruler work and a lot of free motion. The quilt police might frown upon skipping the stitch in the ditch technique, but if they think it looks better, they can issue me a citation and move along.
I did it! 100 more Bow Tie Blocks. They aren't all orange but there is no repeat fabrics. Woohoo!
Hi Quilty Friends! Come on in and pull up a chair while I dig through my stash. I'm a woman on a mission to find enough orange and purple in my stash to make 100 purple and 100 orange Bow-Tie quilt blocks. The hope of only working from the scrap bins isn't doable. A couple of you graciously offered to send me your scraps. Thank you so much! I was overwhelmed by the kindness and giddy at the thought of new fabric.

Hi Friends! It's so exciting to have 100 more Bow-Tie blocks completed. These little blocks are addictive.
Last week our power went out twice due to thunderstorms. The first outage happened during the daylight hours and there was no property damage we could go about business as usual as long as it didn't require electricity.
"The true measure of a quilter is not how perfect the quilt but how well they hide their mistakes"
Even the most seasoned quilters make some of the most common mistakes from time to time. I think it's important to share the mistakes and how they were fixed.
In my quilting lifetime I've heard many quilters say they don't like scrap quilts. How is this possible? To me they are works of art even if it's a just a bunch of squares sewn together. The joy of a scrap quilt is seeing the different prints.
That's right, it's pedal to the metal time. The last of the red Bow-Tie quilt blocks were cut yesterday and they are ready to be sewn together today.
