What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along. 

The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...)

I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent ...

I might have joined a new QAL.... I know, I know, I have badly fallen behind with the 2 I already joined this year but I just couldn't resist the Flabellum pattern.

Looking for a new sewing machine but don't know where to begin? Start by reading this blog!

Another new project that had caught my eye! The Boho Heart Sew Along started earlier this month and I am already behind. Never mind, I have at least started, first by spending a few evenings cutting stripes, both for this pattern but also for my Gipsy Wife quilt that has been long abandoned as well. I have picked low volume, neutral light tones for both quilts. I still don't have enough stripes but the piles are slowly growing.

Last November, I was invited by the Quebec Quilting Association to present a virtual show explaining my work. It was so much fun to prepare and I really enjoyed getting to meet new people. For those who’ve missed it, here is the recorded presentation: Hoping you will enjoy getting to know my story! Do not … Continue reading "Special Presentation for Courtepointe Quebec Quilt Association"

The post Special Presentation for Courtepointe Quebec Quilt Association appeared first on Quilting With Claire.

November had started as a rather productive month for me while hubby was floored with Covid. But then unsurprisingly, I caught Covid too and I wasn't able to do much as I was so so tired and slept a lot.  So there has been virtually no sewing at all last week. I was hoping to make up for it at the week-end, but I was still very tired with virtually no energy on Saturday and didn't do much then either.

Yes, another one! I can't seem to stop joining quilt alongs at the minute. Let's hope they don't transform into UFOs in a few months. Anyway I noticed the Retro Tetro Quilt Along that started in September as well and wanted to join in. Only I hadn't picked my fabric and cut it until recently. 

I finally selected all the fabric I needed last week and set to cut it. 

The pattern comes with instructions for 4 sizes of finished quilt. Although the instructions are clear, I had a massive doubt before cutting my squares so ...

 Another one? I know, I know... I spend months without joining anything and suddenly I am tempted by everything. So yes I joined another quilt-along. This time it is the Tinsel Tree Quilt Along with Everyday Stitches. It started 2 weeks ago and I have completed both, almost in time! The first week was all about fabric selection, so I got ALL my Christmas fabric out with a view of using my stash only. 

Last week was all about cutting the triangles, all 170 of them! That's when I ran my running play list to keep going... I ...

So if I get an old abandoned project out of the cupboard, surely I can start a new one?

When the Halo Quilt Along was announced back in March, I had all intentions to join in with the fun. I ordered the book, printed the template and set on using my stash of Liberty fabrics. But I worked on other projects and never got started... 

A Reflection on Acts 2:42-47 and the modern Church during Covid-19 18 May 2020 This week, I was reflecting on the Church (all churches – for my studies); the functions of the Church as it was in the Early Church as seen in Acts compared to the functions of the Modern Church, as we are living it now (or least as we experienced it before the Covid19 pandemic and during the lockdown), and I started wondering, where has our passion gone. When did we stop being passionate followers of Jesus and started becoming a passerby to God’s Church? Where ...

I was so happy to finish my last Threadology blocks that I decided to reward myself and start one or maybe two new projects....

I joined the Alison Glass mini series quilt along with its tiny mini paper-pieced blocks. First one is a log cabin with logs that are less than 1/4' wide!

It's been a while since I have joined a cross-stitch along so I have been tempted again. I really like the Nutcracker Parade that Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery released before Christmas but I never managed to order the supplies to start it before Christmas unfortunately, too much work and too much on...

Having your own house will be a great achievement for you. It does not matter if you are the one who has it built or already had. The important thing is it is yours, and you can have new beginnings in it.

If it is old and used, it does not mean it will stay as it is. You can always make it new and yours.
