Moving right along with catching up on my Midnight Mystery Quilt-a-long by Meadow Mist Designs, I’ve now done September. For this month, we were supposed to make square-in-square blocks. Another first for me! One of the things I love about this mystery quilt is that I’m getting so much experience doing some of the more basic…
So this is a little bit of a detour from some of my other projects. I wanted to make some slippers to have at a camp to go to and from the bathroom. I decided to modify the Woman Kimono Pattern from ithinksew.com by removing the back because I wanted the slippers to be slip on…
A little bit of stash candy for today. Above is a fat quarter bundle of Loominous from Anna Maria Horner which I got from Massdrop. I had been eyeing the Loominous line ever since I heard about it. They’re yarn dyed as opposed to printed like most quilting fabric. The fat quarter bundle seemed like…
This little blanket was being sent off to a lovely little lady who just came into the world. I’m hoping it will keep her warm and cozy — at least until her real quilt gets to her. I had scheduled some rental time on the longarm to stitch up a quilt for Miss Lily. Unfortunately…
The previous time I was at the longarm quilter, I had a whole day because of a long weekend. So I brought about a yard of wide back fabric. You may remember this gray fabric from the backing for my Bright Squares Quilt. I marked out borders and 7 sections — one for each color…
I’m a little behind in the Midnight Mystery Quilt-a-long by Meadow Mist Designs. But I’m getting back on track this month! The instructions for August were for making 36 flying geese blocks. These are my first flying geese ever! The method for making them is pretty cool as you end up with 4 of them after…
It’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been traveling quite a bit which makes it difficult to take pictures despite having finished several projects. But I’m home now, so I’ve got plenty to share! First up is small quilt using a jelly roll from the line From Norway With Love by Riley Blake. The…
I’ve decided to do the Midnight Mystery Quilt-a-long by Meadow Mist Designs. I’m starting a little late (seeing as it’s August and it started in June) but it seems to be okay since the first two months were just picking fabric and cutting it. I actually found out about it in June, but I was…
I took a break from quilting this weekend to make some bath bombs. I love a good bath bomb in my bath, but sometimes have a hard time finding the kind I like: moisturizing and relaxing. I used this recipe from the Soap Queen blog to make lavender clay bath bombs. I ordered everything form…
This is actually my first Sunday Stash. I don’t normally do one because I accumulate fabric at odd intervals. But I was in Florida last week and got to visit the most wonderful quilt store: Wandering Stitches. Sadly (for my checkbook, not them) I will now have to visit them every time I’m in the…
