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. 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”

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”

Propeller Quilt with Borders

After breakfast Saturday, I cleaned the kitchen then quietly disappeared to my sewing room. I was bound and determined to get borders on this quilt. Thrilled that it happened! I thought I was going to have a patchwork-ish or red border but it wasn’t working. Anyhow, I recently bought a half yard of the MustangContinue reading “Propeller Quilt with Borders”

Clean Spaces

I cleaned and reorganized my sewing space this weekend. The project took longer than anticipated (doesn’t it always?) but change is good and it was time. During my purge, I took time to go through everything and rediscovered a few old treasures that brought smiles to my face. My grandmother’s button box. I remember GamContinue reading “Clean Spaces”
