Enlarging A Favorite Quilt for a Favorite Grandson from Quilting Studio Adventures

Grandson Sam is renting a house in Lombard along with his brother Jack and a third roommate. Just because they are living close to us doesn’t mean we will see them with greater frequency. Sam went to Northern Michigan State, and one fall we took a road trip to see him - Sam was a sophomore, and I gave him a quilt. Since then almost any event we are attending, Sam is quick to tell me he uses his quilt nightly and has washed it a lot. Recently he told me he bought a queen bed and kind of gave ...

Fabric Crushes from Quilting Studio Adventures

I have had four distinct fabric crushes, and I’m always surprised when I find something I love so much. The first was from a Bonnie .Christine AGF line, “Hello, Bear.”

The second was fabrics from Marcia Derse.

And then I discovered Janet Clare and her Wordsmith line. Like the other two so far, these fabrics are now out of print.

And now I’ve discovered Seth Apter and his line Storyteller. His fabrics have a collage-ish look with muted colors. (Note: I almost included e bond in this post. Her first line was Glyphs with the most interesting mostly ...

Guess I’m down to One Blog Post a Month from Quilting Studio Adventures

Good news: our house projects in the kitchen and bathroom are over! The painters just left today. Bad news: there's been a lot of turmoil locally, nationally, and internationally. But the good news? I sew a lot when I'm agitated. And my soul has needed a lot of soothing. This table runner has been a wonderful diversion. Its a combination of hand and machine quilting and based on an Instagram post by @tygeroting. I captured the spirit of their work and must let them know.

This table runner is batted with Insulbright, the product used for hot pads ...

New pattern: Buffalo Check Christmas Runner from Carried Away Quilting

I am a buffalo check girl. I have buffalo check pillows on our living room sofa, buffalo check napkins in the dining room, and even buffalo check curtains in the guest room. I recently debuted two new patterns, Buffalo Check Autumn and Buffalo Check Winter, which both feature this favorite motif. Today I have another fun pattern to show you, Buffalo Check Christmas Runner!

This holiday runner exudes timeless, homespun charm. Simple trees and scrappy stars rest upon a foundation of the classic buffalo check. I laid out my new runner with some plates, napkins and simple greens. Now I ...

Blockheads3- Janet Clare- block 12 from Moda Lissa

Welcome to Janet Clare’s block in the Blockhead’s series.

Janet’s block is titled Hampshire Star and the pattern can be found on Janet’s blog.

Janet’s line, Geometry is what inspired my fabric selection for my blockhead’s blocks. I love the combination of greens and blues together. You will see her fabric used throughout the year and additional fabrics from my stash added.

There is quite a bit of piecing this week but just consider it therapy for those of us quarantined.

I wanted to share my tricks on making my block happen.

I constructed ...

Sweetly Scalloped for Christmas from Carried Away Quilting

Hello quilting friends! I have another Christmas quilt to share with you today. This one is for my mom, and it’s based on my Sweetly Scalloped pattern. If I weren’t concerned about landing on the naughty list, I’d be tempted to keep it for myself. I love how it turned out, but more importantly, I know my mom will love it too.

Mom recently moved into a pretty apartment for the winter months, where she’ll have access to fun activities and lots of friendly people. We had a great time selecting new furniture for her winter ...

Christmas bed runner welcomes overnight guests from Carried Away Quilting

My Christmas bed runner is finished! I did a “decorating test-run” to see how it will look in our guest room with a few other holiday items, and I think the end result is warm and inviting. Now I’m torn, though. Do I put the Christmas décor away until after Thanksgiving, or leave it out and watch my husband shake his head and roll his eyes?

As I mentioned in my post a few weeks ago, a bed runner is a great solution if you don’t have time to make a full quilt, but you want to dress ...

Christmas bed runner with Star Crossed Pines from Carried Away Quilting

Just the other day I was walking by our guest room and thought, “I wish I had a Christmas quilt to lay across the foot of the guest bed this winter.” You may be surprised to hear that I don’t have enough Christmas quilts for every bed and sofa in the house, but I don’t! Since Christmas is less than two months away (eeek!), I decided to make a bed runner instead. Here’s my first block.

Do you recognize the block? It’s from my Star Crossed Pines quilt pattern! Doesn’t it have a cozy, homespun ...
