A Second Fanfare Quilt

As you know, I just made a quilt for my cousin Susan’s baby out of some lovely Fanfare flannels from Cloud 9.  Because of the pieces required for the pattern, I needed to size up a lot of the yardage I bought.  This gave me a fair amount of leftover flannel with no home.  My…

A Baby Quilt for Susan

My cousin Susan is having a baby! And today I’m super thrilled to share with you the baby quilt I made for her baby girl (coming this spring). I also had enough leftover fabric to make a fun little Dresden plate pillow for decoration. This quilt really started with the fabric.  I fell in love…

I Finished That Halloween Quilt

I finally finished that Halloween quilt that I started in October.  I got the top done before Halloween, but I didn’t take the time to get it it quilted and bound.  So, thanks to this #sew365 resolution, I got caught up on enough other projects, and had no excuse not to finish the quilt. The…

Christmas is Coming Along

My Christmas crazy quilt is starting to come along.  Which is really quite surprising as I haven’t been working on it anywhere near as much as I should.  With my steampunk crazy quilt, I spent about an hour or so each evening, piecing my blocks and then spent another couple hours each night working on…

Christmas Sewing

It’s November already, which means time to start on my Christmas sewing.  OK, so I started this project a couple weeks ago. But in my defense, I am making myself another embellished crazy quilt, so I expect it to take a while to put together.  Actually, I expect to be working on it until after…
