Hooray! I have finished several things just in time to count them for the end-of-the year report! We had the annual Christmas fair at school, and I made bags again — this time in several sizes. The small gift bags were the best sellers, especially the ones sized to hold DVDs and CDs. I also [...]

Another recycled bath mat
Posted in Finished projects, Scrap quilting, tagged quilting, recycled bath mat, recycled home furnishings, Sewing, string quilting on July 29, 2010 | 3 Comments »
My first recycled bath mat has been so popular with my husband and daughter that I’ve had to make a second one for the other bathroom. I hate to throw away anything that still has an ounce of use left in it. This was an old and faded mat, still usable but not very pretty. [...]

Our weatherman says the UK is suffering the fiercest winter we’ve had in 30 years. I believe it. We’ve had snow on the ground since December 17, with more snow falling several times a week, and it’s only now starting to thaw. Our front hall is always freezing cold. It has a metal door (those [...]
A beautiful day….

…for washing quilts and drying them on the clothesline. It’s so nice to finally see the sun in our corner of Yorkshire. Happy Sewing!

I’ve finished my second UFO for the Stashbuster UFO Challenge for 2009. It was originally planned as a wallhanging for our old house, and I started it in 2000 with blocks and scraps left over from the larger quilt featured in my homepage banner. We don’t really have a good wall for it to hang [...]

This morning I finished my first HeartStrings Quilt top, using scraps left over from the Quilts of Valor pillowcases made during November’s Pillowcase Party. This is going to be posted to Alycia, who is working on a mighty QOV project to personally deliver 400 quilts to the project in May 2009. She will finish [...]

Yippee, my red and black project is finished and ready to be delivered to its new owner! This has been a great learning experience. Now I know that I cannot do 10,000 things in three days, no matter how optimistic I feel. And I have also realised how much I do NOT know about quilting [...]
Finished! QOV Pillowcase Report
Posted in Finished projects, Sewing, tagged HeartStrings Quilt Project, patriotic fabrics, pillowcase party, pillowcases, Quilts of Valor, red white and blue on November 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I finished all my Quilts of Valor pillowcases today and used up almost every bit of patriotic fabric in my stash! There is nothing left now but one shoe box of strings, which will probably find their way into a string quilt later on. I had enough fabric for 15 standard size pillowcases. Patriotic fabric [...]

Three more pillowcases completed for the Quilts of Valor project! I am hoping to have 12 finished by the end of the weekend. The pillowcase on the left is made from Mary Johnson’s pattern, http://maryquilts.com/pillowcase/ I couldn’t understand the directions for this technique until I saw Mary’s photos on her tutorial, and then it was [...]

Two finished so far! These are the first pillowcases I’ve completed for Quilts of Valor, in conjunction with the Heartstrings Quilt Project Thanksgiving weekend Pillowcase Party. I’m going to use each of the three patterns listed in my previous post about this project. These two cases were made with the Bee Happy pattern by Mary [...]
