I just finished quilting the “Freeze Frame” quilt that some of us made with Judy Laquidara as part of her “Quilt for an Hour” project in 2009. I practised and practised my free motion meandering on my domestic sewing machine until it looked right to me, and then I just jumped in and did it. [...]

A finish, a finish, I finally have a finish! Here is my version of “Freeze Frame”, a Quilt for an Hour pattern designed by Judy Laquidara. Here’s a better look at some of the fabrics used in the quilt. I am estimating that I used 7 yards of fabric for this quilt top, calculating [...]

What a shock when I realised this morning that there are only 8 weeks of Stash Reports left this year. There are still so many unfinished projects on my To Do list for 2009! I felt a surge of panic — because, silly me, I am always setting unrealistic goals for myself. Then I took [...]

Judy Laquidara has posted the fabric requirements this morning for her new Quilt for an Hour project called “Morning Splash.” Fortune is smiling on me today because I was able to find these fabrics in my stash, and they will be perfect for this project!

Still working on Judy’s “Freeze Frame” Quilt for an Hour project, trying to finish up before the next project starts next week! These are the blocks for the borders. One border stitched on, three more to go! The colours look a bit Christmas-y in the photo, but they are actually forest green and rust. Happy [...]

This morning I finished Hours 2 and 3 of Judy Laquidara’s new Quilt for an Hour project. This is very relaxed sewing, no stress at all. I usually have a “design floor” rather than a design wall, but today I used some masking tape to stick these components on the wall. It’s nice to look [...]
Hour 1 Progress

Here is my progress after completing Hour 1 of Judy Laquidara’s latest Quilt for an Hour project, the instructions for which can be found on Judy’s blog, Patchwork Times. I felt a lot better when I read Judy’s remarks that it might take some people longer than an hour to do each step. I was [...]
