Summer Recap Continues with a Scare and a Fun Discovery from Allen Quilts

July 5th, we went to the ranch and I took one of my older quilts with me to take some #quiltsinthewild pics with it. I hung it on this section of fence by the old garage, and as I knelt down to straighten the bottom corner by that little cedar tree, while my head was… Continue reading Summer Recap Continues with a Scare and a Fun Discovery

Finished Strip Mirage Quilt from Allen Quilts

I went to the ranch to check on Cookie, my very pregnant cow, due any time to have her first calf. She was happily grazing with the rest of the herd, which belongs to my cousin. While there, I got some pics of this finished Strip Mirage quilt I made for my great-nephew. The pattern… Continue reading Finished Strip Mirage Quilt

Memorial Quilt in the Wild from Allen Quilts

I am hand finishing the binding on one of the quilts I’m currently working on, so it went along on the trip to the ranch Thursday so I could stitch during the drive. It’s a commission for a dear friend, pieced from her late father’s shirts, and a neutral fabric I purchased for the sashing.… Continue reading Memorial Quilt in the Wild

SASSY GARDEN! from Kwilty Pleasures

In 2010 Jane Sassaman had a line of fabric called Sunshine and Shadows,

that I fell in love with. A collection of beautiful Garden Prints that included

Coleus, Jack in the Pulpit, Twigs and Garden Tiles.

I often purge my stash but I just couldn't give this fabric up!

It sat in my stash until last year (2022) when

I found a pattern on PINTEREST I wanted to use.

The pattern was in a 2010 International Quilt Festival magazine that

was no longer in print. I ordered a digital copy of the magazine with

The "Avalon" pattern, by Elizabeth ...

Stairway to Heaven from Sew Preeti Quilts

Here is the Stairway to Heaven...

Stairway to Heaven

I really enjoyed working with these gorgeous fabrics from Island Batik Foundations.

Nature Inspired?

Stairway to Heaven was published in Annie's One Day Quilts.

One Day Quilts

When I think of easy patterns and quick quilts, I think of rail fence.

Published

Choose fabrics carefully and let them do the hard work while you enjoy the compliments :-)

Thanks to Island Batik for providing the fabrics and Thanks to Annies for publishing the pattern/quilt.

Avantika from Sew Preeti Quilts

I first made Avantika for the Island Batik catalogue. The working title was Mosaic Stars but once the quilt was completed, it needed a better name. Avantika means princess :-)

Avantika, the original princess :-)

Sunset Backing and Binding

Made using Island Batik Juicy Mosaics fabric collection, Avantika finished at about 64" by 84".

Juicy Mosaics is a beautiful collection and I love every fabric in it.

Of course, we took her out for a photoshoot, thanks to Paul!

Ooh, the reflection!!!

I was so much in love that I chose to make these blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2023.

Granny Long Legs from Sew Preeti Quilts

Once upon a time, very long ago, when I was a brand new quilter, I came across the Disappearing 9-Patch Quilt Pattern. Sewing a 9-patch block and then cutting it into quarters for FOUR blocks was mind-blowing.

Sewing first and cutting later was truly fascinating. It also meant less sewing, easier piecing and improved accuracy. This was a Win, Win, Win!!! Except for one small problem - it created a mindset. I am forever looking to simplify patterns such that I sew first and cut later.

Meet Granny Long Legs - completely strip-pieced.

STARGAZERS IN THE GARDEN from Kwilty Pleasures

I have decided my favorite part of making a quilt is....

finding the perfect place to take photos....in the wild.

Come with me into The Franklin Park Conservatory.

It's a gem in the heart of Columbus OH.

The gardens are full of beauty and perfect backdrops.
