North Star Wedding Quilt from Tea Rose Home

Let me introduce you to my most recently finished quilt, "North Star". I have always wanted to make a quilt for my children when they are getting married. Shortly after my oldest son got engaged, I started brainstorming quilt designs. I was going through the quilt books and patterns I already had. Then I came across the acrylic template by Jen Kingwell's "North Star". I love the meaning and sentiment North Star carries; Constant, guidance, direction, stability, etc. I thought it would be a perfect block to use to construct the quilt for the happy couple. I also asked ...

Soniya and Vam's wedding quilt from Meena Schaldenbrand

This quilt was made to celebrate Soniya and Vam's beautiful destination Colorado Rockies wedding.

The wedding invitation with all its multiday celebrations were photo transferred to fabric and then cut out in the shape of large hearts. The quilt makes note of their courtship from first date to engagement to the marriage ceremony.

The red hearts signify the meaning of Saptapadi…each of the seven steps around the sacred fire during the Hindu marriage ceremony when they exchange garlands of flowers and take 7 steps, Saptapadi encircling the fire, and each step represents a vow.

Step 1: May the ...

A Wedding in Italy from Ann Quilts

A flash of inspiration birthed this quilt. It celebrates the wedding of two of my daughter's super super good friends.

They married last fall with a destination wedding in Italy, a gorgeous setting. This quilt is my rendition of a photo taken on The Day.

The inspiration continued throughout the design and construction. Having decided on the layout, and enlarged and traced the photo, I had my pattern.

Then I started choosing the fabrics. The right ones just flew into my hands. I made only one edit!

That's a pretty good omen, don't you think?

April Renters Bring May Admirers from Quilted Joy

The spring has been good to us. We got some very lovely quilts in that I know you are going to love. I wish I could show them all to you, but that would make for a very long post. We got in a number of modern quilts as well as a Dresden plate and a simple, but not simple, block quilt. You’ll understand what I mean in a minute. I think you’ll also see why April renters bring May admirers. Because I know I am an admirer!

Weekly update: it's a flimsy! from With Strings Attached

(NOTE: wildflowers and book reviews are in the preceding post.)

(c) Robin Pickens

Our granddaughter is getting married at the end of October. I asked for her (their) color preferences for a quilt and she promptly responded, "Blue and green." I was despairing of finding the ideal pattern when Ramona posted a picture of her version of Emilia, a pattern by Robin Pickens. I tried to figure out the design but the borders were tricky, so I bought the digital pattern here).

The changes began immediately. The pattern uses 9" blocks. I made one that size and decided it was ...

Quilt for an 1895 Wedding from Ann Quilts

I love a dated quilt. I love a dated quilt with a family story (see full story below). Combined together....well.... it's simply grand.

The fabrics have some preservation issues and staining throughout. And at some point, a critter chewed a hole in the quilt and almost chewed a second. The good part of that story is that the critter was polite enough to avoid chewing up any of the embroidered history.

I patched both places. Here's one.

I patched the damaged black squares with an antique fabric (with white swirl print). And I put on ...

Weekly update: getting closer from With Strings Attached

As we were returning from one of our forest preserve walks we saw the crane family enjoying the summer afternoon. (I think it's two parents and their young.)

We, too, took advantage of the sunshine and visited three forest preserves (Old School Van Patten Woods Des Plaines River canoe launch (the latter has a trail along the river)) and Hosah Park (Zion's piece of the lakefront, wedged between the north and south units of Illinois Beach State Park).

Purple coneflower, lady fern, common reed. Sumac, woodland sunflower. Purple loosestrife with a bumble bee, burdock in flower (a little ...

Weekly update: lots of wildflowers, OMG for August, and the week's nonfiction from With Strings Attached

Rabbit, rabbit! Yes, I remembered to say that first thing this morning.

Our afternoon outings this week took us to two units of Illinois Beach State Park and to two forest preserves (Pine Dunes and Grant Woods). The wildflowers are stunning. I know they've always been there but I am really alert to them this year as I've taken 'destination' walks (rather than just in the neighborhood). The Picture This app on my phone makes identification easy.

It was 90 degrees on Monday when I walked 2+ miles on the Dunes Trail at Illinois Beach. I wanted to ...

Month's end: some disassembly required on the OMG, and the stash report from With Strings Attached

It's the last day to report progress on the One Monthly Goal for July. My stated goal was to get started on the wedding quilt. In a way I have achieved that because I did get started, but now I'm determined to get the top completed. I might be there had I not made design changes along the way.

I made half the units for 40 border blocks using all-the-same fabrics. Before I added the large triangles I got to thinking.

Design change: since the blocks themselves are scrappy (each of the four birds-in-the-air blocks has a different ...

Album or Chimney Sweep block – A Wedding Quilt Journey from Modern Sunbonnet Sue

I began a quilt for my nephew & his wife on the day they were married. I placed 2-1/2 X 5 inch muslin strips backed with freezer paper onto a table at the reception and invited guests to sign their name in the center. Some guests drew photos while others wrote messages. I collected 52 […]

Weekly update: the flock is growing, and this week's books from With Strings Attached

(Just a short post this time.)

I need 100 Birds in the Air blocks for the wedding quilt. They'll be assembled in 25 sets of four -- 13 of one color and 12 of the other. That means 52 + 48 individual blocks. Each cutting creates two blocks so I just used each of the blue prints until I'd used them all -- more than 52, I'm sure. I'm now working on the greens.

(Confession: I went fabric shopping to get more greens.)

Friday check in: on the map and underway -- with Positivity from With Strings Attached

How cool is this? My town is on commercially-printed quilt fabric!

It's BasicGrey "Compositions" for Moda. I bought it because of the soft gray-on gray color and because I like text prints. When I took it out to cut into it I took a moment to read it.

The map image shows the railway depots north and northwest of Chicago. Winthrop Harbor is the farthest northeast. The vertical white lines are part of the fabric design. My guess is that it's pre-WWI. There are some stations that aren't towns (e.g. Ontarioville, now part of Hanover Park ...

A Wedding Quilt from Wendy's Quilts and More

A few weeks ago we went to a wedding. Yes, we're lucky in New Zealand and we're allowed to have weddings and dancing.

I decided to make a quilt for the happy couple. I showed them four different options and asked what colours they like. They chose the Donuts quilt designed by Amanda Jean Nyberg from her book No Scraps left Behind. You may know Amanda Jean from her long running blog Crazy Mom Quilts.

As for colours - it didn't really matter because the bride and groom had chosen a pattern with lots of colours in it ...

Pandemic Porch Quilt Show, Days 29 - 33: Flamingos and Hashtags and Adverbs, Oh My! from Gefilte Quilt

Day 29: Flamingo Carrom

This was made in the early 2000's, when my kids, my fabric stash, and I were so young! Also, I was obsessed with Marilyn Doheney's wedge rulers. Despite the frenetic color, and, lordy, the gold lame in the center (what was I thinking?)....

Friday report: it's a flimsy (and the consequences of miscounting) from With Strings Attached

Hooray! The wedding quilt is assembled!

It's BIG -- 96 x 96. 12-1/2 yards by weight.

The border closeup I posted on Monday showed the flying geese framed by a strip of gray-on-white. I didn't think that all-the-same inner and outer borders played well with the varied backgrounds of the blocks and of the geese.

I cut many, many gray/white strips and pieced them into 5's. (Why 5's and not 6's? No reason.) I sewed two 5's together and then sewed those units in long strips. It was easier and more accurate to ...

Weekly update: the pond is filling up on this holiday weekend from With Strings Attached

This post is being composed from the shady comfort of our patio. This is the third afternoon I've sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. There's just enough breeze from the northeast (Lake Michigan, a mile away) to make it very pleasant.

If this were a normal year we'd have celebrated Independence Day with a concert in the park followed by fireworks. Our neighborhood was likely like yours -- lots of firecrackers and a few fireworks being set off in the street this year. (There have been firecrackers nearly every evening for weeks. We can hear them loud ...
