My Chocolate brown project for Judy’s Monochromatic Challenge is turning out to be lots of fun, and the blocks are going together very quickly — almost as fast as I could eat real chocolate! And that’s really fast! Nigel the quilting dog is helping to plan the layout. He likes the “design floor” much better [...]

Brown is the colour for March in Judy’s monthly Monochromatic Challenge. It’s difficult for me to think in shades of brown at this time of year. When March arrives, I start thinking in pastels and Easter egg colours. Maybe I could think of this project as the Easter chocolate?! Hmmm, chocolate bunnies and chocolate Easter [...]

Now that my Christmas presents are finished, I’ve started working on a UFO project for my husband that’s been in the works for several years. I drew these paper-pieced blocks on my computer when I was learning to use Powerpoint many years ago. It’s my own design, and I called it “Strip Stripe.” If I [...]
A Little Christmas Project (Design Wall)

This project started out as a panel of pre-printed Christmas designs that were meant to be cut out and made into tree ornaments. I wanted to make a quilt with them, so I framed each square with muslin strips and and then added corners to make the blocks into snowballs. Then I sewed all the [...]

I worked on my Grandmother’s Flower Garden for 15 minutes this morning, according to my new plan. I am feeling very enthusiastic and decided not to wait until 2011! Some of these fabrics are so precious to me. I feel very sentimental about the scraps that bring back lovely memories. ..a blouse that I made [...]
Patriotic blocks on the Design Wall

This week I’ve been sewing Patriotic fabric string blocks. I couldn’t decide whether I liked the Bright Red centres or the Dark Red centres better, so I’m making both. The blocks look a bit wonky right now because they haven’t been trimmed down to their proper size of 9.5 inches yet. Bright Red: Dark Red: [...]

Today I’m working on my “Too Good to Cut” Challenge quilt. Poor little project, I’ve been neglecting it for several weeks and working on other quilts instead. But…according to the guidelines of the challenge, it has to be totally finished — quilted, bound and labelled — by December 31, 2010, so I’d better get busy! [...]

Good progress this week on my pink and green Summer Holiday Quilt! I’ve made all 48 quarter blocks and have started assembling the large blocks. Five big blocks are now finished. My design wall is only tiny, so I have to lay out larger projects on my “design floor.” And of course, Nigel the quilting [...]

We had a fantastic holiday in Northumberland. We went to the beach, explored castles and took long walks every day. I took my Featherweight (Singer 221K) with me for a little relaxation sewing in the evenings, along with a box of pink and green strings that I’ve been saving for a travel project. I like [...]
