Wilmington Prints Trunk Show

I was lucky enough to attend the Wilmington Prints Trunk Show at Let’s Sew on Valentine’s Day. It was a lot of fun to see some of the great things we could make with Wilmington’s yardage and  pre-cut 2.5″ strips. The Square Knot quilt was lovely and features a lot of the essentials lines which…

Project Quilting – Orphan Blocks

Today was supposed to be another #NaBloPoMo post, but I figured that talking about a finished quilt is a perfectly good reason to postpone it until tomorrow.  Instead, I wanted to share with you my finished project for this week’s Project Quilting Challenge.  So without further ado, I present to you “Annie.” This week’s theme…

This week’s Project Quilting challenge was Sunrise/Sunset. As soon as I saw the theme I knew what I wanted to do. It had to be something related to Fiddler of the Roof. I love musicals and the song “Sunrise Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof is one of my favorites. So without further ado, I…

My first attempt at using the flower stitch foot

The idea behind project quilting is to complete a new quilting project each week. The first project theme…

Rayden’s Baby Quilt

I’m super excited that my first quilting finish of 2015 came on the 1st of the year. But even more than that, I’m thrilled that the quilt will be for my nephew Rayden. My step-brother Jeremy and his wife Cassie are due to have a little boy in February, and this quilt is for him.…

Works in Progress

It’s been a while since I’ve done a real Works in Progress post, but I figured that I should end the year right by telling you what all I’ve really still got in progress. First, let’s talk about the finished tops: My king-sized Communique quilt top and backing are still hanging out at the house,…
