Botanical Beauty QAL: IT'S HERE:) from Nestlings By Robin

I am giddy with excitement!!

As I said before, this is one

of the grandest things I have ever done!

After many hours of work

I am THRILLED to bring my,

Botanical Beauty: Sestercentennial Sampler

quilt pattern to you!

Lots of information in this post

so please read to the end.

I am very proud of my

family's military service

and of all the military members

and their families

that sacrifice much

more than most will ever know.

In honor of those who sacrifice,

I will be highlighting some

not-so-well-known heroes of

the Revolutionary War each month

with the ...

Botanical Beauty QAL: Fabric and Supplies from Nestlings By Robin

We are 1 day away from starting

the Botanical Beauty QAL and I

don't even have time for ironing-LOL!

If you are new to the conversation,

go read the introduction HERE...

we will wait:)

Fabrics:

As you can see in the photo above, there

are more than just 1 red, white, or blue.

I didn't quite go scrappy nor did I

stick to my usual organized, cohesive look.

I decided to mix it up a bit this time.

The pattern will have overall yardage (ex. Red- #yards)

and if you choose to go a bit scrappier, just

add ...

Botanical Beauty QAL: Introduction from Nestlings By Robin

BOTANICAL BEAUTY:

This design is a culmination of many

of my designs over the years

(some published, some not).

The 250th birthday felt like the

right time to be 'GRAND'.

This is the biggest, most grand

design I have ever attempted and

I am grateful that you are here

for the journey!

I hope that those of you new to applique'

will give it a try. There are many methods

out there and we will discuss

many of them over the next year.

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.
After joining the Coast Guard ...

Stars of Peace QAL: Introduction from Nestlings By Robin

As some of you may know,
I come from a military family.

After joining the Coast Guard myself,

I met and married my husband then

followed him in his 30 years of service.

We were fortunate to be able to see

a great deal of the country through

our moves, learning the history and culture

of many regions.

It was an honor to be a part of the

Coast Guard and its missions.

As a quilter, I am involved with the

Quilts of Valor Foundation.

The foundation's mission is an

important message to those that

serve our country, you ...

what is the difference… from Moda Lissa

What is the Difference Between a QAL and a BOM in the Quilting World?

If you’ve been part of the quilting community for any length of time, you’ve probably come across the terms QAL and BOM. While these acronyms are common in the quilting world, they represent two distinct ways of tackling a quilt project. Both are popular, and both create a sense of community, but they cater to different types of quilters and schedules. One of the sales professionals ay Moda always says we need more Bom’s. With over 50 creative designers creating projects I spent ...

Fabric Acquisition from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last weekend I popped over to Spring Water Designs to pick up some backing for quilts. I was very good and only grabbed a couple things extra. I picked up a small Accuquilt Go! mat for my 6" dies. Always nice to have an extra on hand.

This fun speckle was a good fit for my Pieces of Love quilt. I'm excited to get this one quilted.

I grabbed this fun print to back my Brown Bag Mystery Quilt.

I also grabbed a medium gray backing for my second Brown Bag Mystery Quilt, and a yard of pink fabric ...

Progress Report from Moda Lissa

Progress Report

I thought I was the kind of quilter that started a project, finished it and moved on. The majority of the time I am making a project that has a deadline for a trade show, book, blog post for work and more.

Recently, I happen to look up at my design wall and realized I have quite a few things going on. Time to start my progress reports again to keep me in line.

Hey Boo! from Moda Lissa

I am such a fan girl of Vanessa Goertzen/Lella Boutique. Every fabric collection that she creates I become obsessed with. I don’t really need to describe why, if you know you know!

What is a word for fresh traditional modern? Vanessa’s designs cover it all.

I recently finished several of her patterns using OLD GLORY and have moved on to her FALL fabrics,
HEY BOO! These colors are so fun and different for Halloween. I made the quilt that Moda will be kitting, named Pushing up Daisies. Stock # LB 231 and the quilt finishes at 80” x ...

Appliqued Needlebook, Music, What Could Have Been? from Canadian Needle Nana

I'm not the only one who likes whimsy...We found this little item at the base of a very large tree on one of the public trails back in October. I thought -wish I knew who put this here...perhaps I'm missing out on a friend.

Still enjoying playing around with what I would like to stitch for the Bramble Blooms QAL. I got out several of my books to look through for inspiration and to settle myself down to a colour theme as well. For instance, I love Tilda's Fan Flowers and wonder if I could ...

Bramble Blooms QAL, Books, Binding Sewing from Canadian Needle Nana

I've been on a biography binge lately. I read both these books below many many years ago but enjoyed rereading them. I admire both women's work very much and it is always interesting to see what folks will share in a biography/journal style book. Both write with a similar frankness about their lives and there the similarity ends. Nuala O'Faolain once famously described herself as being "a nobody from a long line of nobodys" and May Sarton- ahh, what to say about May. I carried a line of hers in my head from when time was ...

Orphan Annie is a Finish and Other Things in the Lineup from Quilty Folk

Orphan Annie is a completed quilt top now! So nice to get another one finished up. Still hopeful there will time for another two or three to get knocked off the list before the end of the year.

Orphan Annie all crumpled and cozy looking!

The next picture made the quilt look a little bit washed out. The actual color is more intense like the previous picture. I really love this whimsical quilt with all its imperfections. Somehow this one ended up being so very blue. For some reason I thought it would feel like a green quilt, but nope ...

Rainbow Neighbourhood Houses - Blocks 2 to 4 from Quilting & Learning

I was falling behind on my Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL so I'm now all caught up.

A Mauve House

The second house was finished in the middle of last week. It was easier to make the second time around. Of course the star blocks are all different, so there is a learning curve there.

The mauve house with a blue Friendship star!

For the window details, I added a hanging planter and a bird who is visiting out of his cage. Will he go back in? I found a beautiful mosaic type fabric that looks like stained glass, so that ...

Three Somethings to Enjoy And One Not So Nice from Canadian Needle Nana

Are you a jump out of bed, feet on the floor the minute your eyes open in the morning, person? I'm not and never have been though I don't linger long. I wait a bit and these days I do a little stretching. In particular I've been stretching my plantar fascia before putting my feet to the floor. A month ago I didn't know this existed! I almost feel like my left foot has let me down because I now have some tightening of the p f there. Not painful but an uncomfortable awareness of it ...

Positivity? from Sew Preeti Quilts

Do gun deaths in America surprise anyone?

No. Because, they have been normalized by one political party. Watch this one lawmaker speak his mind.

Six people including three nine-year old kids were killed in a mass shooting. It is not a surprise that there were protests. It is not too much of a surprise that the Republican legislature was more concerned about the disruption on the house floor than protecting innocent lives.

Instead of listening to the voices of reason, they disenfranchised them. Instead of focusing on gun safety, they focused on removing those who disagreed with them.

Well, at ...
