Really? Only One Week To Go?
That can’t really be true! Oh, well, I had better keep working on all the unfinished bits and pieces. First a little excitement. A little while back I won one of the Ghastlies prizes being offered by Pauline of Quilt’N’Queen. I chose the gorgeous Tea Cozy. It looks wonderful and I love it to bits. […]

A Snowman Quilt Top.
At the very end of last year I was extremely lucky to win some beautifully embroidered blocks. They are a collection of snowmen, reindeer and Christmas trees. The beautiful stitching was done by Pauline of Quilt n Queen. Pauline does the most amazing stitching. She generously had a give away last year of eight of […]
Califon Is Complete.
Several positives to report. My machine is back, working and happy. And so am I. And as a result I was able to sew the binding on my Califon quilt and hand stitch it down overnight. My LAQ was incredibly fast and had it back to me in a couple of weeks. I chose a […]
Borders Times Two.
My machine has decided to play funny games and as a result is waiting at my LQS for some maintenance. This means I am now using a very old and basic machine until mine returns. I can straight stitch and zig zag, but no FMQ or even stitch in the ditch. Oh dear! I have […]
Thinking Of Quilts.
It’s really hard making decisions about which projects will come next. There are so many new patterns I want to do but I also have a lot of older patterns that I love too. They are quilts I have made many years ago but now want to make again in newer fabrics. Sometimes it is […]
Garden Maze.
This has been a very interesting quilt to make. None of it was hard as it was all straight sewing with squares and rectangles. What I did find interesting was that the pattern of interlinking squares didn’t become apparent until right at the end when the rows were sewn together. So even though I knew […]
The Next Finish.
I am steadily working through my quilt sandwiches. Good to have another finish. I was happy just to quilt with a simple meander. Because I used this quilt as a bit of a trial run for strip tubing I decided to try out a few things I don’t normally do. I have always hand stitched […]
Triangles Done.
I have finished the straight line quilting and the binding on my half square triangle quilt. I really like the simplicity of the design when using half square triangles with white. The fabric is Moda Winter Song. I have used a Moda Bake Shop pattern found here. I did add a border to the original […]
