Works in Progress

By Andrea | December 31, 2014 |

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,…

Anna’s First Quilt

By Andrea | December 19, 2014 |

Once again, Anna has been gracious enough to share another one of her quilts with us. Today I am sharing with you Anna’s very first quilt, and let me tell you, I am impressed. She found the pattern in an old Good Housekeeping book on quilting. The patterns, colors, and fabrics screamed 1970s, which was…

Anna’s Crazy Christmas Blocks – A Progress Post

By Andrea | December 10, 2014 |

It looks like I am a bad influence on Anna. I’ve convinced her to try her hand an making crazy patch blocks, and I have to say that I am impressed with her progress so far. Her blocks remind me a lot of the ones in my first crazy quilt. She told me that I…

Winter Mini Quilt

By Andrea | December 8, 2014 |

I really thought I was done making Christmas projects, but, last week I ran across the Dresden Forest Mini Quilt by Leigh Laurel Studios. It inspired me to make my own version of a forest for our wall, and knew I had to make my own version. I love that it will also make a…

Rabbit Medallion Quilt – 3rd Border

By Andrea | December 3, 2014 |

It has taken me forever to get around to making the 3rd border on my rabbit medallion quilt. Not that the blocks for this border were terribly difficult – they were just churn dash blocks. But, in my defense, I did have to make 36 of them, and I was getting rather tired of making…

Crazy Quilting

By Andrea | November 17, 2014 |

In the last week, with the cold weather moving in, I’ve been avoiding my sewing space. It’s in the basement, and it’s awfully cold down there. But I didn’t want to be a complete slacker, so I’ve been doing some handwork instead. I have two blocks for my latest crazy quilt that are “finished.” I…

Isa’s Baby Quilt

By Anna | November 13, 2014 |

Today I am sharing the very first post from Guest Blogger, Anna. I’m so excited to share some of her work with you.   Isa’s baby quilt was inspired by one of Andrea’s HST quilts. Isa knew the baby was a girl but she didn’t want pink “girly” things. As she is an organic agronomy…

Works in Progress

By Andrea | November 12, 2014 |

This week has been slow for sewing progress, but I’m a little over halfway through the blocks for my 3rd border on the Rabbit Medallion quilt. You can see all of my progress through the second border on Monday’s post. And I’m making a little more progress on my Easter crazy quilt. I’ve done a…

Introducing Yuletide Magic

By Andrea | November 7, 2014 |

I’m excited to share my most recent quilt finish with you all today. I’ve named the quilt “Yuletide Magic” after the panel that I pulled the focus fabric from. Aside from that panel, the rest of the fabric was left over from my Christmas Emporium quilt (also known as the Christmas crazy quilt). I wanted…

Works in Progress

By Andrea | November 5, 2014 |

I actually feel like I’ve made a lot of progress on my in the last week. I finally finished the binding on my the Christmas quilt I made from the leftover Christmas fabrics I had after I made my crazy quilt. I think I’ll call the quilt Yuletide Magic, after the panel that I used…
