As usual, I started this with just a concept in my head. For the most part it worked. Until I got to the borders. Then it got tricky. And that’s saying something since the borders are just kinda borders, right? Well, now they are. If I actually sat down and drew out a plan (eitherContinue reading “Mimi’s Modern Flower Garden”

Evolution of a Quilt
It started out rather simply. I had a plan, sketched it out, dug through my stash then bought more fabric. Execute. Right? Well, it went that way until it was time to make said quilt. It was a cool diamond and hexie quilt with an interwoven lattice. I decided to make the diamonds large, soContinue reading “Evolution of a Quilt”
Quilts for …..
Last week we woke up to an unspeakable tragedy, and as usual, quilters jumped right in to help. I was compelled to make few block to send to the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild, along with some binding, and then a friend asked me why I was doing it. Why am I sending blocks? You know,Continue reading “Quilts for …..”
Warrior Quilt
An old friend of mine was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer last fall. I planned to make her a quilt to have while she was going through chemotherapy but I overcommitted. Well, that’s what I thought. It turns out I was severely vitamin D deficient and had NO energy. My doctor took my concernsContinue reading “Warrior 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.

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”
