These are the Dear Jane blocks I finished last night. They are M-10 Simple Simon, BR-1 Rosemary’s Rainbow and E-9 Quilt Jail respectively. I rotary cut and pieced traditionally M-10- a simple nine patch. BR-1 I FPP (freezer paper pieced) it and it was not bad at all! Now, E-9, much more tedious. In the […]
Today I managed to finish 2 new Dear baby Jane blocks. The first is D-6 Challenge. I freezer paper pieced this one and it went smoothly. The next one I did is D-13 Field of Dreams. I rotary cut and then pieced this block. I am hoping to get some more done tonight and try […]
Well, I have completed Organized Chaos and finally downloaded the photos I took of it. I am excited that I have another finish under my belt- even if it was started last year! I used YLI blue variegated thread on the border and for the feather stitch on the blocks, cream in the polka dot […]
Today’s post is not about any of my quilt works but instead a little fun! First off I would like to mention a couple of really awesome giveaways! I tell you these are wonderful! First head on over to Camille’s blog Simplify to enter to win a wonderful set of her first fabric line (designed […]
This has been quite a productive week! I actually finished quilting Organized Chaos and am taking it off the TBQ list YEAH! I still have to do the hand stitching on the last half of the binding. For me though, that is one of my fave parts and I know when I settle down to […]
Well…I came to a solution of the previous dilemma…I decided to quilt one of the 2 TBQ quilts, since I have everything for it and in light of the fact that I pieced both quilts in the fall! LOL! I guess I was waiting for inspiration (and a better machine). I figure if I finish […]
I have this wonderful fabric that is just screaming please use me and a quilt in mind for it…. BUT I also have 2 quilts in the TBQ pile and I have several WIP’s that need my attention. So here is my dilemma…I am torn with what to do! LOL! How many of us swear […]
Today I started my morning pretty much the same as any day… the wee one wakes me up way to early and we get up and start breakfast. Then when the kiddies are sitting with their breakfast I get tea and toast and go spend some time on the computer. Today I decided to catch […]
Well, I have finished the first quilt(s) in the new Nook! All of my finishes this week are commissioned projects from The Quilt Nook. The first is a memory quilt for a graduation gift. The recipient was in awe of her mom for getting this for her- I called it “Shabby Chic Memories”. She said […]
This week has been completely crazy! We returned from an impromptu visit to Disney world and I was able to finish putting the ‘Nook’ back together and got started on my commissioned projects. I am now scanning the photos for the one project and then I will applique them in place and can quilt it. […]
