    After making more circles last night and earlier today the top is ready for the applique stitches. I will be working for the next several week on this border to get it done. I couldn’t lay it all out for you to see as I don’t have enough floor room so I had to fold [...]... Full Story »

    Allie's in Stitches &bull Feb 6, 2010

    I had a GLORIOUS week at the annual Point Bonita Getaway for 70 quilters this past week. Unlike over the past few years, I am not going to post too much about the retreat itself....there were some objections to my "live" reports last year, as some of the ladies just wanted complete privacy. But I... Full Story »


  7. A Unique Twist on a Patchwork Quilt

    Quilting Arts Blog &bull Feb 4, 2010

    Art quilters tend to stitch outside the box. Traditional squares and patches are not for them. But that doesn't mean that repetition and a sense of order isn't important. In fact, repetition is a key element in design. The concept of using a grid as a design element is classic--that's one of the reasons... Full Story »

  10. Opinions Welcome

    Quilts....etc. &bull Feb 3, 2010

    As you all know (if you read my blog that is LOL ) I finished a big quilt top last week – my circles and four patches. I have been pondering how to finish off the border. I had thought to just scatter some circles around but I’m now thinking of another idea [...]... Full Story »

    I have decided on my border – thank you all for your opinions. I am going to put the vines on the border like the one I showed you on the baby quilt. I will put nine patches in the corners also in pretty much the same arrangement and then on the sides of the [...]... Full Story »

    A Quilting Jewel &bull Feb 4, 2010

    Here's another layout of the honey bun quilt I mentioned last post.  I've moved a few things around, but I'm not sure I'm completely happy with it, so it will stay on the design wall for a little while longer. .

  13. Another Small Step on my Ecru Crazy quilt block

    Cheryl's Chatelaine &bull Feb 5, 2010

    I worked a bit more on my crazy quilt block and added the work "cherish" along with a velvet applique to the piece.

  15. Design problem solved: Wedding Bento quilt

    The Quilted Librarian &bull Yesterday

    After composing several bento box blocks on Saturday, I quickly realized that the same method I was using for the yellow, black and white quilt was not going to work for the wedding bento. The blocks were just blah. I decided to try the method I used with the baby bentos with color being the unifying... Full Story »

  16. Squaring and Binding

    All Things Quilty &bull Yesterday

    I decided to tackle the squaring up of this old quilt this weekend. I knew it was going to be a hatchet job because the quilt was so dreadfully uneven, despite the additional strip of muslin I added to each side. Thank goodness for that, or the star points would have to be amputated! Now I have... Full Story »

    That's right, it's official. I am a crap blogger.

    So, here are the rest of the postcards for the Searching for Spring themed swap, after yesterday's prototype.

    This little top (about 20" square) is the result of today's work - it's from the strip roll I bought last weekend on my Hampton Court trip. It didn't take long to make - I just sewed some of the strips to some of the other strips, and then went from there. I also had a FQ of the brown fabric, so some... Full Story »
