I have a zillion projects in the works right now, but as soon as I saw Judy Laquidara’s new pattern, Paint Stix, I loved it and knew I had to try it right away! I’m using some fabric from stash that I have always liked but found difficult to use before. This pattern seems just [...]

“Pinky Girl” on the Design Wall
Posted in Design Wall Monday, tagged 9-patch borders, Design Wall Monday, pink UFO quilt, Quilt Design Wizard software, Quilting, Sewing on May 3, 2010 | 10 Comments »
This is what my “Pinky Girl” quilt is going to look like when it’s finished — sort of. I had to improvise on some of the block designs in the drawing. It’s a good representation, anyway. I drew this with my Quilt Design Wizard software, which makes a nice change from my usual method of [...]
Spring Break Fabrics (Stash Report)

We had a lovely holiday with our family, lots of beautiful sunny weather and fun activities. Since we were in the area, I went to The Quilt Room, which is a lovely quilt shop in Dorking, Surrey, and bought some fabrics to continue with my purple-orange-green UFO. I had got to the point where I [...]
Pinks on the Design Wall

I’m still working on my ancient pink UFO which is getting a total makeover, and I’m having so much fun with it! There is no formal pattern — it’s just 12 salvaged sampler blocks, and I’m making it up as I go along. The cornerstones and sashings are finished. And now I’m making 9-patch blocks [...]
UFO of the Month (Design Wall Monday)
Posted in Design Wall Monday, tagged Design Wall Monday, Quilting, Sampler Quilt, sashings and cornerstones, Sewing, UFO makeover, UFO quilts on March 15, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I’m trying to finish — or at least make significant progress – on one unfinished quilt top per month. This Sampler Quilt is my second-oldest UFO and one of my first efforts, from probably 15 or 16 years ago. This was a finished quilt top, but the sashing and border fabrics never matched the blocks [...]
Batiks on the Design Wall
Posted in Design Wall Monday, Quilting, tagged batik fabrics, Design Wall Monday, Quilting, Sewing, two-rail fence pattern on March 1, 2010 | 11 Comments »
I was very excited to see batik fabrics on Judy’s blog earlier this week because I have a batik project of my own to show for Design Wall Monday. This is one of the Easter quilts I am working to finish for our family visit next month. It’s a two-rail fence design, with 2.5 inch [...]
23 Blocks (Design Wall Monday)
Posted in Design Wall Monday, Quilting, tagged Design Wall Monday, purple and green quilt, Puss in the Corner blocks, Quilting, Sewing on February 8, 2010 | 12 Comments »
I’ve made 11 more blocks this week for the purple and green quilt, for a total of 23. This is the last of these particular fabrics, but happily there are reinforcements in the same colour families in my stash. Won’t have to buy a single thing! I’ll probably stop working on this one for [...]
First Design Wall for February

Here are more purple and green blocks, but without the white squares this time. Thank you for all your comments last week — it was unanimous to leave out the white, and you were so right! I’m crazy for 4-patches, and I love the secondary 4-patch design that is emerging. Nigel the dog has [...]
Purple and green on the Design Wall
Posted in Design Wall Monday, tagged Design Wall Monday, Kaye England fabric, purple and green quilt, Puss in the Corner blocks, Quilting, scrap quilt, Sewing, stash quilt on January 25, 2010 | 14 Comments »
This is one of my favourite-ever fabrics. It’s called Matters of the Heart by Kaye England for SSI, and I only have a tiny bit left. I’m still making Puss in the Corner blocks for donation quilts, so I decided to use this pretty green and purple print as a theme for one of the [...]
Puss in the Corner blocks for Design Wall Monday
Posted in Design Wall Monday, tagged 5-inch squares, Design Wall Monday, free patterns, HeartStrings Quilt Project, Puss in the Corner block, Quilting, Quilting Arts Forum, Quiltzine, Scrap quilting, Sewing on January 11, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Last week, I cut lots of 5-inch squares from stash fabrics. I also found a box full of 5-inch charms that I started collecting years ago. This week I am sewing them into Puss in the Corner blocks, which is a quick and easy pattern. Each block uses four 5-inch squares. Since I am using [...]
