I have had the top done on this quilt since this summer. I kept waiting for enough money to send it off for quilting. And then I realized that there were much bigger priorities for our money, and decided to power through finishing this one. DH helped me baste. Which was very challenging because weContinue reading “Finish: A napping quilt”

Finish: Radiant Splendor (not in purple)
This is the end of the road of the aqua-red-pink-blue baby quilt finishes. This is my last bit of random blocks in this color scheme to use up. I LOVED making the radiant splendor block from this tutorial. Even though I was a very novice sewer at the time, it was pretty easy to tackle.Continue reading “Finish: Radiant Splendor (not in purple)”
In 24 Hours….
I have had a really great 24 hours. Last night DH and I made Coq Au Vin. Seriously. LIke for real. And it was wonderful… truly wonderful. Not perfect, the amount of sauce we ended up with wasn’t quite right. But the chicken tasted like the chicken you would get at a good french restaurant.Continue reading “In 24 Hours….”
Finish: STAR!!!
So, I love this quilt. I made the top during a class with the awesome Vanessa hosted by the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild. She was so wonderful and the class was wonderful. And then the top sat and sat and sat. Once I got through all of my red and blue and aqua, IContinue reading “Finish: STAR!!!”
Finish: Aqua and Red Wonky Sampler
This year I made a bazillion aqua and red blocks and then squirreled them away to become wrinkly and unloved. They were great skill builders – but they definitely were, um, random. Random block patterns chosen, and all random sizes because I was sewing beyond my skill. So when I became determined to use upContinue reading “Finish: Aqua and Red Wonky Sampler”
Finish: Vintage Star Wall-Hanging
DH recently fixed some, ahem, issues with our kitchen ceiling. And I have been slightly inspired to redecorate it a bit – editing, mostly, to go with a vintage vibe. There is this weird space that needed a custom-sized thingamy. So I made a quilt, of course. I love the colors in this one. ActuallyContinue reading “Finish: Vintage Star Wall-Hanging”
Finished: 8-Point Star in Aqua, Pink, and Red
This is one of three aqua / red / blue baby quilts I am trying to finish for Project Linus as soon as possible. I have several orphan blocks made earlier this year when I thought this color combination was the bee’s knees. I still do think it is the bee’s knees; however a randomContinue reading “Finished: 8-Point Star in Aqua, Pink, and Red”
Itsy Bitsy Dordable Baby Bibs
A little friend of mine had her first birthday recently. I had some fun making these little bibs for her. Some Notes: 1. I love working with a warm color palette. Keeping it to just red, pink, orange, yellow always ends up with something that really makes me happy. This project has just a soupconContinue reading “Itsy Bitsy Dordable Baby Bibs”
Liberty Chevron Pillow
Along with the awesome mini quilt I received in the Schnitzel and Boo mini quilt swap, I received some beautiful Liberty fabric. I love it so much, and immediately wanted to make something out of it. I got 75% of the piecing done, realized I was ONE HST short, and lost steam. And it satContinue reading “Liberty Chevron Pillow”
241 Tote: Love and Hate and Purple
Oh, 241 tote – you temptress. When I first saw the swoon block, a drum beat started in my head that I *had* to make it. The same drum beat started when I first saw a picture of the 241 tote – not so much that I wanted to make it, but I wanted toContinue reading “241 Tote: Love and Hate and Purple”
