Wedding Quilt

By Andrea | October 1, 2012 |

This week I wanted to feature another one of the quilts in my collection.   This lap quilt was a wedding gift from my cousin Susan.  It’s super soft and warm – along with being beautifully made. (Susan, you can feel free to make me a quilt any time.) And it matches the decore in my…

Grama’s Quilt

By Andrea | September 26, 2012 |

Even though my first “official” quilt was the one that I made for my sister’s wedding gift, I did have another project before then.  I made 9 quilt photo quilt blocks a wall hanging.  The blocks each contained family photos of my grama and her family.  After I finished the blocks, my mom and uncle…

My 3 Favorite Quilt Designers

By Andrea | September 24, 2012 |

While most of the quilts I have made in my time as a “quilter” have been basic designs using strips of fabric and half square triangles – there are a few quilt designers that I love. 3. Cluck, Cluck, Sew! Not only is Cluck, Cluck, Sew! one of my favorite quilt blogs, but her quilt…

Shiny HSTs Chevrons and an HST Tutorial

By Andrea | September 21, 2012 |

Thanks to my attempt to avoid finishing the (not) Purdue quilt top last week, I got myself started on another – much smaller – project, using my fabrics with gold metallic ink.  For this project, I’m planning to use several fat quarters of fabric, along with a couple larger pieces of fabric I had in…

(Not) Purdue Quilt Top Finished!

By Andrea | September 19, 2012 |

I’m super excited that I’ve got the quilt top for my little sister Samantha done!  As you may recall, she wanted a “Purdue quilt, that wasn’t really a Purdue quilt.” My solution? Use Purdue colors in a fun scrappy pattern. I ended up using the Squares & Strips quilt top tutorial from Cluck, Cluck, Sew!…

Where’s the Inspiration?

By Andrea | September 11, 2012 |

Have you ever had one of those days when you know there’s a project that you should be working on, but you just can’t get into it?  I’m there right now with one of my projects – that quilt for my little sister.  It’s kind of sad really. I have all the blocks cut and…

(Not) Purdue Quilt Update

By Andrea | August 13, 2012 |

As you know from my previous post, I’m working on a quilt for my sister Samantha.  I’m super excited about how the quilt is coming along, and I’m even starting to like the colors.  Not that I don’t like black and gold – I am a Purdue Alum myself.  Boiler Up!  I just wasn’t sure…

Sassy Charm Quilt

By Andrea | August 6, 2012 |

I finally got the Sassy Charm Quilt completed!  It’s possibly a miracle with everything that has been going on lately.  I did get it quilted over a week ago, but I just didn’t have the time to bind it.  I’ll blame my little sister and her wedding for that. This quilt’s finished size is about…

The (Not Quite) Purdue Quilt

By Andrea | July 25, 2012 |

Ever since I told my youngest sister, Samantha, that I was making Kayla a quilt for her wedding, Samantha has wanted me to make her one.  And now that I’ve used up a good portion of my scrap fabric and smaller stash pieces with the crazy quilt, the baby quilt for Lukas, the School Days…

My Top 3 Sites for Quilting Inspiration

By Andrea | July 17, 2012 |

As you may have noticed, I’ve done quite a bit of quilting recently… and by quilting, I mean piecing, because I’m not awesome enough to do my own quilting just yet.  But, I haven’t been coming up with all the ideas myself.  As a matter of fact, I spend a ton of time surfing the internet looking…
