New Pattern - In Motion Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee

Introducing --- In Motion

I often talk about favorite blocks or vintage designs incorporated in my patterns. The Irish Chain is one of those favorites, however I wanted something different using a wide variety of fabrics and/or scraps.

The Motion in this design moves from right to left and uses large background pieces making the movement obvious.

Far Out! ... The Fat Quarter Shop * announced they were expecting a fabric line designed by Maureen McCormick! My excitement to make this quilt using the Blooming Bunch Fabric Line by Maureen for Moda, was off the chart. I grew up watching the Brady ...

Red and Ecru from Humble Quilts

Here is a primitive adorable crib size quilt I picked up when I was back in New England. It has no batting and is such a fun goofy perfect little tied quilt!

I would have been a lot easier to use red squares. The maker put together half square triangles instead!

The binding is red on 3 sides and ecru on the 4th side.

The cetner is only a fold line, not a seam. The seam is about 2" to the left of the fold.

Lots of little stitches are holding that binding in place.

Looks like summer had finally ...

Uptown July Blocks and MORE! from Humble Quilts

My July blocks of Uptown are complete. I like to lay out all of the completed blocks, but my sewing room is a creative disaster right now! Which is good, but I like to work in a clean room!

I thought I'd share the quilts I've made that Gay at Sentimental Stitches has patterned from antique quilts she owns. She does such a great job and so accurate!

Here's the link to her shop where you can find all of these and MORE!- HERE

Steppin' Out Class from Humble Quilts

I finished my little quilt project for class last night.

Oh my goodness, I love it!

A New Chapter from Humble Quilts

Blue and white quilts always remind me of the snowy mountains in Central Oregon!

I put them on display when the Christmas quilts come down.

WE SOLD OUR BUSINESS! Papers were signed on Saturday!

We will continue to run the Machine Shop. The work load for paperwork and stress will be so much less! It all happened a little earlier than we anticipated, but the opportunity could not be passed up.

This is why I mentioned a few posts ago that I will be having more time to sew and create!

This two-color scrap quilt is fast and fun to make, see pattern here: Far Horizon.

Cut a bunch of scraps by eye, using scissors.

Trim with a rotary cutter after sewing the strips.

This is the fast way to do it. No hassle.

Even though the scraps are different heights, it's easy to get a nice straight horizon.

And I love that contrast line. I want to try purple and yellow next time.

This is a twin size. But a wall size for my quilt room would be nice.

And here's a tip for new quilters: When pinning ...

Christmas Quilt Inspiration from Humble Quilts

I thought I'd share a few random photos of quilts that would be relatively easy to make for the holidays. (maybe not 2020 holiday)

I'm inspired by red and white quilts all over again!

Look at this simple little cutie. (circa PA 1900)

Swiss Cross Redeux from Humble Quilts

I've had a chance to sew, but am not ready to show it here yet, so thought I'd share this quilt from 2 years ago. I called it Swiss Cross and you can find the directions HERE.

Quilt Reveal: Blue Ornaments from High Road Quilter

As usual, in December, the photo quality is much diminished. Today, I want to introduce you to Blue Ornaments, my mini quilt of the month for the month of December.

This little quilt provided a little distraction from the Quote Quilt until I realized I am going to add fusible to the backing, and not the front of the quilt. This means, I can keep adding more stuff to the Quote Quilt while I prepare the backing and fusible. I'll show you my additions to the Quote Quilt in another post.

In the meantime, this little quilt is a ...

Two color Quilts- The Sapphire Exhibit from Humble Quilts

I received my blue and white quilts back from Houston QuiltFest. I'm sharing them with you today!

And if you prefer the link you can click HERE.

Now a few photos from our week away.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves. To get to the lake was a tough 9miles, but we stayed 4 nights and hiked around. It was nice not to pick up every night and move.

Then we stayed 3 nights in a cute primitive cabin.

Hello Quilting Friends! Today is my day in the Stitching Sunshine Blog Hop hosted by Carla over at Creatin' in the Sticks.

Orange peel blocks from Northern Deb Quilts

The orange peels blocks are coming along. I made a cardboard template, cut a bunch of ovals and started to applique them onto the white background.

They're really quick blocks. I'll have quite a pile when I get back home.

Al and I took a ride to Dunedin this afternoon. They have one of my favorite quilt shops there and it's going to be closing. Everything is 40% off. I REALLY don't need much fabric but it's fun to look.

I did buy this cute stripe. It's perfect for binding on a future quilt ...

Next in line... from Northern Deb Quilts

I'm working on an old UFO...one that I really love. Years ago I taught a class and sewed up a class sample. I made a few extra blocks as I taught how the blocks went together. I usually use solids to test blocks then when I get enough, I make a solid scrappy sampler quilt. But these were all in blue and white so I saved them for a two color quilt.

This block below is what I stitched up today after taking apart a block I didnt like.

I think this was "cups and saucers" block....usually ...

Mesmerizing Two Color Quilts from Quilted Joy

Every year the Kentucky State Fair chooses to highlight a particular category of quilt. The style they choose is then its own category for the fair. In 2019 the category was two color quilts. There is something mesmerizing about many of these two color quilts. They are beautiful in their simplicity and intriguing in their complexity. Whatever they are, they are definitely a style worth trying sometime!

Let me warn you though, this is going to be very informal. No prizes and no pattern you have to buy. Just a beautiful, classic quilt at the end of this! Here are the details:
