Miscellany from Thistle and Thicket Studio

Just popping in to update on things in the Thistle Thicket Studio lately. It's been hard to find the my mojo but I have been working on my Moda Block Heads 3 quilt. I finally finished all of the 56 MBH3 blocks and made an additional 8 blocks from MBH2. All 6". What was I thinking!!! I swore after making the Farmer's Wife quilt that I would never make 6" blocks again. But don't they look so cute all laid out on my 'design floor'?

New Year, New Finish-A-Long Goals from Thistle and Thicket Studio

The holidays flew by and a new year is here, and with it a new year of the Finish-A-Long is beginning. The FAL took a break last year but posted on Instagram that they were ready to start back up again. So here is my very short goals list for the first quarter of 2021.

I decided to just focus on the three sewing challenges that I started in 2020 and hoping this will help me to focus and finish them in a timely manner (ha, ha!).

Moda Block Heads: Blocks 18 - 22 from Thistle and Thicket Studio

I'm all caught up on the Moda Block Heads 3 sew along until Wednesday. Wish I was caught up on my temperature quilt blocks but that's for another day, I guess. Don't these blocks look so cute! I'm loving this color palette!

Moda Block Heads 3 Alternate Block 18 by Thistle Thicket Studio. www.thistlethicketstudio.com

Block 18 was another applique block from Jan Patek so chose to make one of the alternate blocks by Sheri McConnell of A Quilting Life. Her block called for 4 of these tulip blocks but when I made this on Saturday, I wasn't in the mood for tiny pieces so opted to make ...

MBH3: Blocks 13-17 from Thistle and Thicket Studio

I haven't sat down at the sewing machine for a couple of weeks. Wow! Where is the time going? I definitely seem to be busy but not much to show for it. Today I sat down to catch up with my Moda Block Heads 3 blocks and realized I haven't shown them for a few weeks here on the blog. They are coming along and I really like how they are looking in a grouping....

Block 13 is called The Baldwin by Jen Kingwell. I like the geometric design of this block. The paper piecing made this block ...

Moda Blockheads 3: Blocks 9-12 from Thistle and Thicket Studio

Although I don't have this past week's block finished yet, I have been able to keep up with the Moda Blockheads 3 sew-along so far. But I am definitely slow on sharing my blocks in a timely manner here on the blog.

So here are my latest four blocks. Block #9 is Taos by Vanessa Goertzen. I kind of wished I would have used the light aqua where I used the pink fabric also.

Block #10 is Windmills by Stacy Iest Hsu. I really like this block and has a special representation for me. In my former life ...

Moda Block Heads: Blocks 5-8 from Thistle and Thicket Studio

I'm trying to get caught up on my Moda Block Heads blocks today and realized I haven't shown my second month of blocks here yet.

I'm trying to be caught up each month by our quilt guild meeting so I can share them at our show & tell. So far, so good.

I substituted this block for the Block 5 Love block. I just didn't think it fit into the quilt I have envisioned. I shared my Love block that I turned into a mini quilt here. This was a substitute block that Lisa Bongean shared for ...

BMH3 Love Mini Quilt from Thistle and Thicket Studio

A couple of weeks ago I shared my 'love' block from the Moda Blockheads 3 sew along. Today I'm sharing my finished Love mini quilt.

Love Mini Quilt by Thistle Thicket Studio. www.thistlethicketstudio.com

A couple of weeks after Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chick shared her Love block in the MBH3 sew along, Lissa Alexander (a.k.a. Moda Lissa - Moda's Marketing Director) shared a heart block she called Zest. I decided to add a few hearts to my Love block, even including the clipped corner HSTs from the hearts, and made a mini quilt. This last week I quilted and bound my 16" x 17" mini ...

"A Little Sweetness" Fabric by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake on Thistle Thicket Studio. www.thistlethicketstudio.com

I chose to use a fat quarter bundle of Tasha Noel's 'A Little Sweetness' fabric for Riley Blake that I won last year in an Instagram giveaway (I know, how lucky can I be!).
