Lots of Binding
I’ve seem to be doing a LOT of binding lately. That may be a good thing. It means projects are done, but it’s also about the most boring part of making a quilt. In the last week, I’ve done the binding on 3 quilts, and I have binding for one more still to do. On…
Read MoreGreat Mail Day
Yesterday was a great mail day! I came home to a great big box on my front porch. That box came all the way from Canada and only had one big dent in it. And what was in this big box from Canada, you ask? Something soft, warm, and perfectly magical. 3 freshly quilted quilts…
Read MoreThe Local Quilt Shop
The local quilt shop, or LQS as it’s known in the blogosphere, has been making a comeback in my area. Even if I exclude the big box stores like Hobby Lobby and JoAnn’s there are no less than half a dozen quilting stores in my area. This is really exciting for me, because I love…
Read MoreFiery Labyrinth Ready for the Quilter
I’m always amazed how much faster quilt backs go together than the front, even when you have a decorative back. The back on the White Labyrinth quilt was supposed to have a 20-inch inset block in it, using the fabrics from the front. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough strips in lengths I needed, so my…
Read MoreZen Chic Quilt Top
I have finished the quilt top for my Zen Chic White Labyrinth quilt, which I have dubbed my Fiery Labyrinth Quilt. It’s not near as perfect as I would have liked. Somehow my blocks ended up being much more rectangular than square, which would have been fine if they were all going the same way. …

I’ve recently started another quilting project. I’m making the White Labyrinth quilt by Zen Chic. As I mentioned in my post about my favorite quilt designers, I’ve been looking forward to making this quilt for a while, and I’m really glad to be getting the chance to do it. My Fabrics The materials list actually…
Read MoreYellow Spiral Done
The yellow spiral quilt is officially finished! I completed the top a couple weeks ago, but couldn’t decide what to do about the binding. With Friday having been the Friday Night Sew-In, I wanted to get it out of the unfinished pile. After all, I’ve already started another quilt you’ll hear about in a few…
Read MoreFriday Night Sew In
I’m doing Friday Night Sew-In tonight! It’s my very first one. Tonight I’m planning to add the binding to my yellow spiral quilt and hopefully get a little more done on my newest quilt project, or maybe make a zip pouch that goes with my Weekender bag.
Read MoreA Long Weekend
The quilting is finished on my yellow spiral quilt. Now all that’s left to do is the binding. I still haven’t decided how I want to bind it. I’m either going to do a basic 1/4-inch binding in the yellow, or I’m going to do a wider binding (1-2 inches) in the multicolored pattern I…
