The second retreat project was making a pair of slippers. The organizers provided us with some non-skid fabric to use for the bottom and sent out a list of free patterns, but I couldn’t just make basic slippers. I mean, it’s me. So, yeah, no. I was definitely going to make pig slippers. I perused…
My quilting guild retreat was supposed to be over Memorial Day weekend. I originally wasn’t supposed to go, but it got switched to a virtual retreat and since my original plans were cancelled, I was able to attend. The organizers did an amazing job with lots of fun projects, a 24 hour zoom room, a…
I can’t tell you how good it feels to be done with this quilt. This quilt was started over 10 years ago, possibly 20. And it is FINALLY DONE. But seriously, the problems I had with this quilt. At every step, it just didn’t want to be finished. The pattern is from an old black…
While I get photos of some other stuff together, here’s a photo of another quilt I finished. This one was for my cousin’s little girl. I used fat quarters from the Wonderful Things line in the color way Honest Whispers. For the pattern I used the Fat Quarter Shop’s Fat Quarter Fizz Quilt Patternbecause I…
Here’s another baby quilt that I finished up for my cousin’s new little girl. Well, now she’s a year old, but she did get it well before then (unlike some of the other babies I still have quilts to make for . . .) I used a layer cake of Riley Blake’s Love Story. And…
Here is another quilt for Grace Circle. For this one I asked for an improv stripe blocks using green and yellow. One of the stitchers ended up giving me much smaller blocks so that’s what I cut up and used for the border. I think it ads a nice modern look to it. This was…
It’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Did I say minute? I meant months, or maybe even a year 😛 After some existential crisis with my blog I’ve decided . . . it’s fine just the way it is. So, what have I been up to? A lot. But we’ll get to that.…
As I mentioned in my previous post, I had some leftover triangles from the baby quilt I was making. Not one to waste already sewn fabric, The triangles were in the perfect dimension to make a bag. I used the same solid color that I previously used for the quilt binding as at the sides.…
A recent finish for my friend’s little girl. I had these Tula Pink fat quarters for a really long time. Probably over 3 years, but just never had the right project for them. I think I may have used one of them at some point, but never got around to using the rest of them.…
This was a “quick” mini-quilt I made using some Northcott charm squares that my mom won at Quiltcon 2017. She wasn’t going to use them so she gave them to me. I used this to try out a bunch of techniques on my sewing machine which I’ve only had a year. Some new, some I…
