Famous Last Words from Loose Threads

You've heard the expression act your age and not your shoe size. I guess maybe I forgot that. I had a set of shelves in the basement that I wanted moved upstairs. There is a nice storage area in the bottom part where I can store my hexagon and applique' projects. My husband wanted to call our son to help him get the shelves up the stairs, but I was just sure we could do it ourselves. About half way up with the top part of the shelves (the lightest part), I knew this was a ~~bad~~ terrible idea ...

More Progress on Projects from Loose Threads

As you can see by scrolling through this post, I've been busy. I've scrapped my plan for the Jemima's Creative Quilting Mystery 2025 and switched to the colors below. I love fall colors especially the rust color, and I like this color pallet a lot better. I also fussy cut 7 hexagons from another fabric, but those will go into another project. I know I could finish more things if I just picked something and stuck with it. Click the link above if you want to join in.

The photo below shows a bit of the process ...

Starting Another Project? from Loose Threads

This past Monday I started another hexagon mystery quilt over at Jemima's Quilting Blog. The first clue showed up in my email Monday, and I'd bought these blue fabrics to use in the mystery. The quilt will be started in the center, and this is how mine would look. I'm using 3/4" hexagons. Well, after I let this sit and percolate overnight, Tuesday morning I decided that I really don't like this. And I know if I don't like it going in, I won't keep up with it. So now I'm on ...

Unique Memory Quilts: Creating Keepsakes from T-Shirts from Sew French

Hex Is Gone Quilt from Quiltmanufaktur

Hex is gone Quilt nach einem Pattern von Taren Studios stand schon länger auf meiner To-Do Liste, weil er genau zu den Stoffen passte, die ich bei meinem letzten Besuch auf der Nadelwelt bei meiner lieben Kollegin Ursel von Quilt Cabin ergattern konnte! Ich glaube, es handelte sich um eine Serie von Paintbrush Studios, sicher bin ich mir aber nicht...

So ist es eben... ich bin auch Jäger und Sammler und an schönen Stoffen komme ich auch nicht vorbei!

Ergänzt habe ich die "Gone Hexie"-Stücke mit Kona Cotton Snow und die Rückseite ist ein Art Gallery von Maureen Cracknell ...

» Luann's Loose Threads

I'm going to try to work my way through the quilt blocks that I've started and never put together into a top. This pattern is Antique Baskets by Brandywine Design. The pattern has more baskets, but I'm stopping at 16 to make a wall hanging. The handles are embroidered. I used a product called Transfer Eze. You can see more photos of the blocks and a photo of the pattern here. I'm trying to choose a sashing fabric from my stash. I'm not sure about either of these fabrics.

Behind on the Blogging! from The Modern Diary

I am behind on the blogging! I have been sewing so let's catch you up! I made seven of these paper pieced books from Etsy for my Up to No Good Book Club group members. This fabric reminds me of "The Luminaries" which was one of the first books I read with the group.

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

Here are all the blocks so far. Linking up with Angela!

I finished an Eye Spy quilt and got it tied and bound and off to Norway. This ...

On The Design Wall from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

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.

I went through all of my Kaffe Fassett stash and scraps and cut up enough big hexagons for the size quilt I wanted. I used the Hex N More Ruler by Jaybird Designs. I also started cutting a few of the solid triangles I need. Then life got in the way and these pretties were set aside.

I had an empty design wall (behind my longarm) so I put them all up so I can ...

A Vintage Finish - A Long Term Project from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

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.

For pretty much all of May, I spent at least two hours a day hand quilting this vintage hand pieced top.

I am happy to report I finally finished it.

My mom gave me this family quilt top about 15 years ago. (I guess she thought I was finally old enough to take care of it.) It is all hand pieced so I decided I ...

April Renters Bring May Admirers from Quilted Joy

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!

Oh Scrap! : May UFO from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

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 ...

A Start from the Stash from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

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!

I decided to play with some of my Kaffe Fassett stash. I used my Hex N More Ruler to cut a bunch of 8.5" Hexagons and some 4.5" triangles. I think this is my favorite specialty ruler of all time.

The pieces will fit together like this. Some of the hexagons will have the same color triangles ...

Pickle Dish and Hexagons from Quilts....etc.
