Let Friendship Ring Mini COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

It is only 20″ square, so it went together fairly quickly.

Even with some hand quilting (which I am out of practice on).

No pattern, but you can find similar things by searching “Circle of Friendship.” I started with 2″ squares.

The blue sashing and red binding give it balance.

It will soon belong to my friend, Jennifer, who does much of my longarm quilting. So grateful to have her.

Friendship Star Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

 Hello!  In December I shared a cutting chart + instructions for the Friendship Star quilt block in 6 different sizes.  Today I want to share with you the finished quilt that prompted that post.


A few months ago in my local quilt group, we had a member who fell and broke both of her wrists.  Some of us in the group thought it would be nice to make her a quilt to show her a little extra love during that difficult time.  We decided to use the simple, classic Friendship block because of its name and we asked everyone who wanted ...

Friendship Star Quilt Block from A Little Bit Biased

This block would be great for a swap or to make a quilt 
for a friend who needs a little bit of cheering up!
Maybe in their favorite colors!?!

You could even make some little friendship stars
to use in the cornerstones of your sashing
(which is what Jessica Dayon and I did in our
free ...

Anne of Green Gables from TheEclecticAbuela

 A young lady very dear to me is turning two! I marked the occasion with a big girl quilt.

Anne of Green Gables (72" x 72")

 

 I made this from a fat quarter bundle, a panel, and a few additions from stash. The panel had a double friendship star motif, so I replicated it in the quilt. (Kindred Spirits fabric line by Riley Blake)


Anne of Green Gables (detail)

I used some of the larger elements from the panel in a few of the centers. In others, I fussy cut quotes from the books from the fabrics and used those ...

COVID-19 and the Stay Home Order from I Have A Notion

So how is this mess going for you? I have to say that it started out pretty strange, having to "stay at home". We are enjoying the farm and can't imagine being in town close to friends and neighbors and having to just stay home!!! It got a little rough... but got better when I made some changes and choices! At first, like so many others, I was at a loss for what to do. Not like... Read More
