Machine Applique from Humble Quilts

Christenna sent me a photo of her block from the machine applique class I taught in PA! I adore the way she framed it!! I love it when I'm inspired by "students" work. These ladies certainly didn't need me to hold their hand. They were amazing quilters!! So fun!

If you are looking for a trunk show or workshop, my schedule is flexible, Please don't hesitate to recommend me to your guild. I'll go almost anywhere and still utilize Zoom when asked.

It was a pleasure to be invited to the Lebanon Quilt Guild.

I got to see the stunning raffle quilt up close and personal since when it isn't out garnering attention for raffle tickets it is being stored at the guild president's house. Lots of details in this one!

Look at this group! Monday night I presented the trunk show

April 2024 OMG Finish from Quilt Paint Create

My OMG for April was finishing the April challenge quilt, which had no name in March. The quilt was based on a pattern called Ruffles by Sew Be It. I ended up naming it Freeze Frame.

I painted the background fabric because I didn’t have anything in my stash that I liked with the reds I picked for the flower petals. The fabric in the flower center was painted years ago and textured with salt. I added a second layer of batting under the center that I thought made it too puffy. I added beads to the center to ...

Machine Applique from Humble Quilts

I'm looking ahead at a Meet the Teacher event and a class next month on machine applique, so I've been getting a few things ready.

The traditional style suits me for sure.

I completed this little block recently.

It is also fun to let people see alternatives.(pattern by Tonye Phillips)

Below is a few of the machine applique projects I've completed.

Oh the possibilities!

I hope you are having a grand week!

Conquering roadblocks from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

We still have beeping in our house. It's not the smoke or carbon detector. I have a suspicion it's the sensor in the side door that needs a new battery. It's powered by something, so there must be a battery.

One more thing to deal with! It's these niggly little things that are time-consuming because you have to figure out how to fix them! And yes -- I checked the thermostat -- the batteries are fine.

My stretch session was excellent. I sure wish they would have classes for stretching. I know -- it's easy to do at ...

Perfecting the Tote Bag–Part 2, the Sheep in Sweaters Tote from Art and Quilting in Camden

So FINALLY we get to the Sheep in Sweaters Tote! When I started the previous post, I discovered I’d never blogged about the turquoise tote, which is the forerunner and partner of this one! I will say now that I have finished this post (Part 2), it is LONG–but I wanted to be sure you got ALL the good info. If you’re here for just the totebag part, skim the embroidery bits! Thanks for reading!

Weekly WIP: Be Attitudes from Patchwork Sampler Blog

The WIP I am currently working on is Be Attitudes by Nancy Halvorsen.

This book was published in 2007 so I am sure that is when I started these blocks. I am at my mom’s this week and both time and space are limited here so I try to bring projects that don’t require a lot of planning, cutting, or thinking. My original intent was to make the quilt, but after aging for over 15 years, I will turn the blocks into pillows. I simply don’t need any more quilts!

Four blocks are pieced and fused and ...

Sterren, Flying Geese, Cirkeltjes en Beertjes. Oh, ja en 1 konijntje! from M. Brito de Campos

Na de cirkeltjes en de sterren waren de flying geese aan de beurt. Dus weer terug naar de doos met achtergrondjes en leuke stofjes om nieuwe combinaties te maken. Geprobeerd om niet dezelfde combinaties te maken als bij de cirkeltjes en dat is, geloof ik, wel gelukt. Er moesten ook nog 4 strookjes rondom om de juiste blok maat te verkrijgen.

Daarna waren de diertjes aan de beurt. Ik vond het konijntje heel erg leuk, dus die is als eerste gemaakt.

Er was ook een leeuwtje, maar die vond ik niet leuk.

Dus daarna nog 4 beertjes gemaakt.

Outfitjes bijelkaar ...

It's all about applique! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I did little in the cleaning department yesterday. Too many other more exciting things, but I did some more laundry, and I'll share the story of a quilt tomorrow.

Here's a couple of exciting things about applique. Yes -- I'll share my progress on Enchanted Autumn later today.

I'm notorious for keeping small bits of things. They WILL come in handy one day - I know they will! So I saved bits of fusible web, and one day, I sorted through my fusible web bits. All the larger pieces were stacked in the cupboard, and all the bits ...

Focusing gets the job done from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Another fantastic day with the Monday sewing group. If you haven't joined an online sewing group yet, you're missing some great entertainment. We chat about everything and anything, and it's just a hoot. We help each other, solve problems and actually get some work done! I think Zoom sewing groups or groups of any kind will never go away. Imagine if a friend moves away - they can still be part of the group. People from all over the world can participate!

I'm playing catchup today with some photos sitting here and no time to post them ...

Voorliefde voor cirkels! from M. Brito de Campos

Bekleedde knopen voor een mantelpakje?

Nee, cirkeltjes voor We are Family quilt.

Op vlieseline naaien.

Inknippen, keren en wegknippen.

En straks op achtergrondjes appliqueren.

Super leuk werkje.

Lange bereidingstijd! Met een dierbaar resultaat! from M. Brito de Campos

Sommige quilts hebben een lange aanloop en doorlopen verschillende stadia.

Verschillende stadia van ideeën, verschillende stadia van plannen, verschillende stadia van wanhoop, verschillende stadia van voltooiing,

maar uiteindelijk ligt er een quilt.

Van deze quilt heb ik ontzettend veel geleerd.

Er zijn kleurenfamilies en de ene familie past niet zomaar bij de andere.

Met andere woorden: een leuke print in een vergrijsde goudkleur past niet bij de heldere primaire kleuren van mijn voorkeurspalet.

Blokken maken voor een quilt, zonder een plan werkt echt niet!

Applicaties maken is wel heel erg leuk. Tenminste als je heel veel verschillende technieken hebt uitgeprobeerd ...

Setting goals is fun! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

What a GREAT day yesterday was! I did spend quite a bit of time (hours!) on the phone chatting to several people, but sometimes that's a necessity! I felt better; hopefully, they did as well. And one call was extremely motivating, and well, I'm just like my Dad -- I LOVE to talk. I think that's why Zoom works so well for me -- I get to talk! I don't need hugs - I just need to talk. But I listen also!

OK -- so I tried sleeping with the tape on my lips. It wasn't really a big ...

Technology is GREAT!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Well, I guess you figured out by the title that I had an AWESOME day with technology. It was a fabulous day!! I love technology, and the more I learn, the better I become. Just don't mess it up!

I have to say that I'm happy with figuring out my body clock, and I'm not good if it gets messed up! Thanks to an upset tummy from Miss Murphy, I didn't get a good sleep the night before, but last night? Perfect! Hence, I was up at ridiculous o'clock (for you), and I got so ...

Christmas Quilts with 12-inch Quilt Blocks from Pieced Brain

Make quick Christmas Quilts with 12-inch Quilt Blocks that you forgot you had! Simple layouts translate into fast gifts or holiday decor.

Last Saturday, after writing a pattern I decided I wanted to spend the rest of the day sewing. I actually wanted to see if I could make a quilt with some test blocks I had. You know that when I test blocks I try to use similar fabrics for many of them so, down the line, I can just put them together into a quilt. That was my mood that day.

The quilt above was the first one ...

A sticky situation from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Well, I did NOT get much done in the sewing department yesterday, and I'm OK with that. I went shopping instead! And there were two reasons for that. I have to take my car in today for a recall on the fuel pump. That requires that the gas tank be ¼ or less. I was at a half tank, so I had some gas to burn off. I'm just at the ¼ mark, so hopefully, that works for them.

It was a good trip as I found something that I didn't think I would find! Let's ...
