Project Quilting – Orphan Blocks

By Andrea | February 6, 2015 |

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…

#NoBloPoMo – WIP Wednesday

By Andrea | February 4, 2015 |

We interrupt your regularly scheduled #NoBloPoMo for a WIP Wednesday update. With the issues I’ve been having with my machine tension lately, I’ve not gotten much sewing done in the last couple weeks, but this is a Project Quilting week, so I needed to get some sewing time in. This week’s theme was UFOs and…

#NaBloPoMo – Let’s DIY unless you want to DIFM

By Andrea | February 2, 2015 |

I love to DIY (do it yourself). I often take a look a quilts on display in magazines and think “I can make that.”Then I sit down with a pencil and some graph paper to figure it out, or come up with my own variation on the design. You may have seen this before on…

Project Quilting – Sunrise/Sunset

By Andrea | January 23, 2015 |

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

This week I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of sewing done, at least as compared to last week. I completed another round of project quilting- a post about my completed project will be up on Friday. And I did some testing with my new flower stitch foot. Apparently I’m not smart enough to use…

Works in Progress

I have to admit to being a complete slacker and getting almost no sewing accomplished since my last WiP post. I did finish up my mini quilt for the 1st Project Quilting challenge of the season. You can vote for your favorites until 8:00pm CST on Friday, January 16th, 2015. The only other thing that…

Project Quilting – Trees

By Andrea | January 9, 2015 |

I’m so excited to finally get a chance to participate in Project Quilting. This is it’s 6th season, but I just discovered it at the end of last season, so I didn’t get a chance to participate. The idea behind project quilting is to complete a new quilting project each week. The first project theme…

Works in Progress

By Andrea | January 7, 2015 |

The new year has started off pretty well for me, at least as far as my quilting goes. I finished Rayden’s baby quilt. I’m almost done with the 1st Project Quilting Challenge. I just need to add my binding to it. And with the help of my MIL, I finally got the impromptu quilt basted.…

Rayden’s Baby Quilt

By Andrea | January 2, 2015 |

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.…
