My husband and I took a much needed vacation a few weeks ago. Just the two of us. We hadn’t had time alone since before the pandemic began, really, and we were so grateful to spend 4 days at our favorite bed and breakfast in Blowing Rock, NC. Before we left, I was determined toContinue reading “Aether Quilt”

Vintage Gone Kaffe
I’ve posted about this quilt a few times over the last several months. I thought I’d have this top finished before now but, alas, that wasn’t in the cards. I finished it yesterday and I’m beyond thrilled! This quilt was fun to piece, and I enjoyed working with colors that aren’t typically mine. I loveContinue reading “Vintage Gone Kaffe”
Kaffe Mini Swap
A friend of mine put together a Kaffe Fassett Mini Swap in July. I’m a huge lover of Kaffe fabrics so, of course, I had to participate! As usual, I waited until the last minute. I swear I do better work when I’m under pressure. Others may call me a procrastinator but I think myContinue reading “Kaffe Mini Swap”
Piecing it Together
I was able to get the parts of my Kaffe quilt arranged last week and am in the process of sewing the top together. I still need to cut the setting triangles but that shouldn’t take much time. Besides, I have to sew the diagonal strips first so what a little more work, right? IContinue reading “Piecing it Together”
Vintage Quilt Goes Kaffe
I am slowly making progress on the vintage quilt that I am recreating in Kaffe Fassett fabrics. You can see it here. I’m pretty excited about how it is coming together, too. The quilt is basically 9-Patch blocks, Half-Square Triangles and squares. Once the hst’s are pieced the blocks go together quickly. woot! The blocksContinue reading “Vintage Quilt Goes Kaffe”
Kaffe Block One
I bought a vintage quilt ten or so years ago. My best guess is that the quilt was made in the thirties. The quilting is impeccable and the stitches are so small. I’ve been wanting to make an updated version for a while but hadn’t figured out exactly how I wanted to do it. TheContinue reading “Kaffe Block One”
Quilt Retreat Prep
I’m going to a quilt retreat with my guild friends this weekend. Two days of sewing. No interruptions. This weekend couldn’t come at a better time, either. I have been stuck in the house because of snow/threat of snow/sick kids for twelve days and, well, it’s been stressful. And loud. To maximize my sewing time,Continue reading “Quilt Retreat Prep”
Cloche Hat
My Intown guild always has a group quilt in process. Basically, you get quilt blocks made to your size, color, pattern, etc. specifications and assemble. I’ve talked about it before, I think. One member keeps the master list of when members “join” – it’s not an official sort of thing – and we go inContinue reading “Cloche Hat”
Two Quilts for Two Sisters
A friend of mine had baby two a year ago. As part of her shower gift, I made a quilt. My friend didn’t find out the gender of the baby ahead of time, so I couldn’t actually do anything until the baby was born. I’m really late getting this to Z, but better late thanContinue reading “Two Quilts for Two Sisters”
Mushrooms in My Garden
Every six or so months, a member of my quilt guild is chosen to get blocks for his or her own group quilt. My friend SB asked for brightly colored blocks representing something in your garden. The other day I was inspired by some neatly manicured bushes, and decided to make mushrooms. I mean, whoContinue reading “Mushrooms in My Garden”
