What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Our oldest daughter’s former college roommate asked me to make a memory quilt from her mother’s tee shirt collection. Of course, I agreed. How could I not, she is like another daughter to us. I didn’t want the typical memory … Continue reading →

Exciting News: My Nightlight Quilt is in Make Modern Magazine!

I’m beyond thrilled to share some amazing news with you all—I’m featured in this month’s Make Modern Magazine! read more

                                        

I also sewed up the second to last Log Cabin Love block awhile back.  One to go.

 Now that I have caught up on many of my projects, I am able to get out a stash quilt I started earlier this year.

 For about the last month, I have been feeling like I haven't made much progress on any of my projects.  Today I get to share what has been eating up all of my time.

The spring has been good to us. We got some very lovely quilts in that I know you are going to love. I wish I could show them all to you, but that would make for a very long post. We got in a number of modern quilts as well as a Dresden plate and a simple, but not simple, block quilt. You’ll understand what I mean in a minute. I think you’ll also see why April renters bring May admirers. Because I know I am an admirer!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!

This is one f my favorite rhododendrons in my yard.  It is the slightest shade of pink.

 Indoors, I have been focusing on making a bunch of scrappy placemats.  The rest of my available time has been spent working on my May UFO project.

It is wonderfully scrappy too!

Because I am the only quilter in my family, almost all of the family quilty items have ended up at my house.  One of the items is this hand pieced hexagon quilt top.  I think the fabrics are all 1940's ...

 Even though 2022 is the year I am focusing on my UFO list, it is still important that I make a few quilts from my stash.  I have a lot of fabrics I need to use before I leave this life! 

A very nice day yesterday outside if the wind hadn’t of been so strong.  I did get all the plants uncovered once again and moved the pine needles to the side – keeping them handing in case we have a late March frost so I can cover plants up easily.  Right now the forecast is […]

For Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy and the gang I will work off and on stitching my hexies.  I am in the process of attaching these three segments to the center They need to go in these spaces And when attached the very center will be done – there is no pattern for this quilt […]

Had to run to Little Rock yesterday for my injections in my thumbs so not much went on yesterday.  I will show the quilting on Twinkle, Twinkle Big Star And a little work on the Hexagons from this week off and on since the weekend.  The hexagons are all sewed into rows now the rows […]

Last month I had some saying they thought the Arkansas Traveler block would be a hard one to do so I took some step by step photos to show how it is constructed.  First as always I lay my pieces out – I find this helps me so much to keep blocks in order and […]

I find the Snail’s Trail blocks the easiest to make of the 6 or 7 (not sure about the feathered star) quilts that I am making for this years RSC – these blocks measure 8 inches when done.  It is super easy if you choose to do the same background for all blocks and one […]

Yesterday was spent off and on in the sewing room in between going outside and enjoying 77 degrees and sun!! I actually was sitting outside on the porch at about 10 AM listening to the birds and enjoying the weather.  So I didn’t spend the whole day inside but back and forth working with the […]

We all know I went crazy in January and started 7 RSC quilts – I must have been totally bored at the time LOL – so can I keep them up what with nicer weather coming soon – it already is nice out this week and I have been in and out but then planted […]

Yellow/Gold this month – I have a bit of both.  This month’s Hunter Star blocks will be more in the gold category.    They will join these blocks on the wall – yes I cleared the wall off and now it will be one quilt at a time.  I think this one and the Lemoyne Star […]

Finally I got the flannel blocks pieced yesterday for the Yuletide Gatherings quilt – now today I need to press – I am pressing seams open to reduce bulk – that will take a little while – I think I have about 40 blocks to press – but later in March after I get caught […]
