It’s been a little silent here due to some travel and family stuff. But here’s something I did manage to get done between trips. A quilt and tote bag that I recently finished as a gift for my cousin for her new little boy. I often find quilts to be a nice palate cleanser since…
This quilt took forever. Okay, not forever. Twenty-one years. But that’s still a very long time for a single quilt. I started it for my bestie Serena while we were still in college. I had completed one quilt at that point. I was very ambitious in deciding to make a queen size quilt for anyone,…
Here’s a Grace Circle quilt from the start of the pandemic. I was the quilter for this one and asked everyone for a single Welcome Home block (pattern) which I thought was appropriate. I requested bright colors with a black background and I think the colors pop quite nicely. It’s go a great clean, modern…
I did this quilt as part of the 4th Mystery Quilt Along with Hello Stitch Studio. I love their mystery quilts because the woman Nancy who runs them makes you feel like family and that you’re getting together with a bunch of friends each week despite the fact that you’re all over zoom. Plus, she…
During 2020, my quilt guild did a block of the month in a very modern way. They had us pick out 5 fabrics and then each month we got a different type of block to make. However, at the end, there was no direction for how to put them together. That was up to us.…
Finally finished up some more quilts and actually got photos of them! This one is using squares from the Summer Sampler 2011 which I used to teach a class at work back before the pandemic. There are 12 blocks in the Summer Sampler, but I often did more than one to demonstrate for students and…
It’s been a bit since I posted but that’s because time is weird in a pandemic. Here’s another Grace Circle charity quilt finish. For this one, I asked the circle members to make me a strawberry block using this tutorial. They came out so super cute! I put them in a brick pattern. The quilting…
This quilt was finished just under 2 years, but it’s at my parents’ place so I only got photos after the fact. I took the quilt with me on the plane so I could do the binding during the flight. It’s seriously one of my favorite ways to pass the time on a plane. So…
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…
