Pieces of Love: Quilting (again) from Becca's Crazy Projects

For my second try at quilting this quilt, I decided to use Echoed Curves from Longarm League.

I admit I'm a sucker for an edge-to-edge that filles the space and doesn't hint at where one row starts and the next starts. Echoed Curves is one of those.

It quilted out beautifully and I think it added great texture to the quilt.

Here it is, trimmed and ready for binding.

I grabbed this fabric from my collection for binding. Binding is cut, sewn, and pressed. I just need to get it attached. My new favorite ruler for cutting binding ...

Pieces of Love: (Un-)Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I picked this beautiful color thread to quilt my Pieces of Love quilt.

I loaded it up and ready to quilt.

I quilted two rows of this delightful all-over feather. And hated every stitch. It was too dense. It didn't come close to what I imagined this would look like stitched out on this quilt.

Then, over the course of the week, I spent over four hours ripping out those two rows of quilting. It was back breaking, exhausting, and sad.

It made quite a mess. And I ripped more than a couple holes in the backing fabric. Thank ...

Fabric Acquisition from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last weekend I popped over to Spring Water Designs to pick up some backing for quilts. I was very good and only grabbed a couple things extra. I picked up a small Accuquilt Go! mat for my 6" dies. Always nice to have an extra on hand.

This fun speckle was a good fit for my Pieces of Love quilt. I'm excited to get this one quilted.

I grabbed this fun print to back my Brown Bag Mystery Quilt.

I also grabbed a medium gray backing for my second Brown Bag Mystery Quilt, and a yard of pink fabric ...

Pieces of Love from Becca's Crazy Projects

As I was working through the adult joy that is filing my tax return, I told myself I was going to buy myself something when I finished. That something was a copy of the quilt pattern Pieces of Love by Whole Circle Studio. Did I need another quilt pattern? Absolutely not. That didn't stop me. I bought and downloaded the pattern and starting thinking about the fabrics I wanted to use.

A friend gifted me this bundle of Kona cotton solids. This is the Kona Cotton Fat Quarter Bundles 12 Pieces Peacock (affiliate link). I paired it with this ...

February and Heart Quilts from Quilt Vine

Today is Groundhog Day, and February is the month of love and hearts.

Over the years I have been quilting I have made many little heart quilts.

When I had my Quilt Shop, I started designing patterns. I designed a bunch of little ones that I call Monthly Minis. I have one Monthly Mini for each month and I also have one Mini for each major holiday. I think the mini for February featuring the groundhog and a heart is one of my favorites. This pattern is named “February Phil” after Punxsutawney Phil. This little wall hanging finishes to 11 ...

Red Heart Quilt for My Friend from Tea Rose Home

A few months ago, I found out that one of my dear friends for over 23 years was going to have open heart surgery in August. I wanted to do something special for her and pretty much immediately, an idea to make a heart quilt came to my mind. I talked to our mutual friends about the idea and they were all on board.

When I went through breast cancer three years ago, I was gifted with a special pink heart quilt from a talented group of friends. I was so surprised and touched with everyone's generosity and every ...

Chain of Hearts Quilt Block from Expect Moore

I’m so excited to share this quilt block with you! The pieces aren’t too tiny on this block (I know I’ve done some tiny piecing in past blocks), and when you make several to put together, they make a super fun “chain” quilt design! You can make yours simple, as I’ve shown in the illustration […]

From Sad to Happy: Two projects from Quilting Studio Adventures

We know life is about births and deaths. And we assume a natural order: people die when they are old. In March an 8-year old died suddenly.

And a family, both immediate and extended grieves. My friend Cecilia commissioned this quilt for her niece, Maddie's mom. It is 65" x 75" and made in loving memory. This pattern is Have a Heart by J. Michelle Watts, available at Etsy.

Because blue hearts are so special to this family and such fabric isn't easy to find., I found a fabric at Spoonflower and had it made. See the picture ...

All Projects, Great and Small from Quilting Studio Adventures

The beauty of having such a great studio is that I can work on several things at once - piles of future projects, fabrics I want to do something with, patterns with fabrics already chosen. And I can put aside these piles to do something quick. Last week I was dismissed from Physical Therapy after 8 months. My two main therapists were terrific. As a thank you, I made them each a Mors bag and put a loaf of pumpkin bread in each. And my hairdresser Juanita requested two masks - periodic table and chemical elements - for her son who is in ...

happy october . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Hello October, I'm so happy that you're here! It's *birthday* month and it's blog hop month, too! :)

I finished stitching up Mr. Jack O'Lantern!

He's such fun. But I felt he needed something a little more than a hoop or mug rug finish. I think I found (or rather, made) the perfect solution . . .

Yay! It's a slipcover for a Christmas pillow I've had for ages. I may go back and quilt the face of it later. Maybe. Right now, I'm liking is just as it is, where it is!

I got ...

Prayer for revival of the heart from Quilt in Piece

Heavenly Father, pour out Your Holy Spirit like a mighty flood into the hearts of all Your people, those who are called by Your name. May our hearts be washed by the water of the Word and may the purifying light of the Holy Spirit cleanse the thoughts, wash the hearts and purify the minds of those who are part of the church, which is Your Body. Lord, we pray that You would purify the hearts and minds of all Your people so that our thoughts are ever turned toward the Lord Jesus. May we as individual members and also ...

Painting Rocks from Becca's Crazy Projects

A couple years ago I picked up a bag of rocks and some craft paints. I painted a few rocks and then nothing for a while. Saturday I decided to watch a couple YouTube videos and dab paint onto rocks.

I had to mix a couple colors because I don't have a great selection. I do have the primary colors and black and white. I mixed up that pink.

That somewhat heart-shaped one wasn't really the direction I wanted to go but that's what I ended up with. Once I get a coat or two of lacquer ...

eclectic collection . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's been a busy week, which means I wasn't able to get in as much stitching as I would have liked, but I got some in nevertheless. I did make some progress on my heart:

But put it down to work on the Peppermint Purple SAL.

Week 8 was made available on Wednesday, and I had it finished on Thursday, along with a good majority of the box outlines for the entire stitchery!

It's easy, soothing stitching and I'm enjoying it very much.

Thursday was guild, and I struggled to go, because by the end of ...

bits and more bits . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's been a lovely weekend so far. Todd surprised me with a "gourmet dining experience" on Valentine's Day.

It was a privately catered event and the food was excellent! The chef classified his style as 'sophisticated southern.' We were served a four course meal which included a deconstructed Southern Greek salad, seared scallops, braised short ribs, and for dessert . . .

Red velvet cake with a cheesecake center, topped with white chocolate ganache. YUM!

Backing up a bit, I spent Thursday evening with the grandgirls and gifted them with their Valentines.

Edith was particularly enthralled with hers and went through ...
