FLOURISH QAL: Fabrics from Nestlings By Robin

The first exciting step in starting a new

project....FABRICS!!

YAY! YIPPEE! YAHOO!

I had a lovely floral print,

"First Impressions" designed by

Mary Anne Henderson

from Red Hen Fabrics

for Northcott

that started it for me.

The color is true in the pic above.

I used the colors in the print

to pull my applique' and other

piecing fabrics.

I placed a ruler over the

fabric so you can get

an idea of the print scale.

This print worked perfectly

with the size of the templates.

You want a small to medium

print so that the fun details show ...

Playing with Projects and a Flimsy from Indigo Threads

Well, I finally have a "first finish"! This quilt top is now a flimsy. This is the Rail Fence pattern from Sujata Shah's book "Cultural Fusion Quilts".

56 inches square

I started this quilt way back in April of 2016. You can read about it here. This project got put on the back burner a few times since 2016, but I finally decided it's time was now and got it put together. The i-sew-lation is at least good for getting some projects done. I am very happy to get it to this stage.

My Energy is back-FINALLY from Nestlings By Robin

During my November craziness,

I came down with a cold.

Then I got better....

Then it came back....

WHAT IS THAT???

I don't think I have ever had

a cold come back but in a bit

weaker strain.

Very Frustrating to say the least.

Yesterday I felt I turned a corner

just in time to finish one deadline.

Now to start on my submissions

for Houston Festival so I

can see this lovely city

again in the Fall.

Do you have a technique or class

you would like to take?

Are you interested in reproductions

of 1800s quilts?

Miniatures ...

Little Hourglass Quilt from Repro Quilt Lover

Last post, I laid out goals and a plan for getting more projects to the completion stage. Now is when I should probably report back on those but, ahem, I’m not ready. Okay, I’ll be honest because both the goals and the plan accomplished what I hoped they would which was sticking to the same projects long enough to make progress on all three.

Pink Sprinkles: I finished all the squares. That is if you call finishing 105 of 120 all the squares. I am, because the remaining ...

The Organized Quilter from Repro Quilt Lover

Let me begin by saying this is an aspirational post. I am not an organized quilter or an organized anything, really. But, I need an organized system to accomplish what makes me happy; maybe you can relate.

I am going to assume if you are reading this blog you like to quilt. And, therefore, are probably a creative person — a “creative type.” Generally, we creative types are free spirits, which doesn’t translate well into focus, planning and organization. But, if I give in to the free spirit and let it run my days, those days are ruled by a ...
