Friday’s progress……………
Brought me to the outmost/larger triangles in the center section and, because I work on a sit-down machine, I need to mark a few registration lines for the ruler work that will come next week. A peek at where I’m … Continue reading

Part 8: (Technically) A Friday Finish…………………….
This project is a finish! The label will be made when the next project reaches this point and requires its label. Again, for those who have come late to this journey, check out the right side bar for previous installment … Continue reading

Part 7: A Glimpse of the “finish line”…….
Throughout this project, stitching in the ditch(SID) has been a necessary step, albeit a tedious one. When stitching with a DM (domestic machine) or a sit-down longarm, stabilizing the sandwich layers is ‘key’ to having a finish that is free … Continue reading

Part 6: The next 2 “rows”……………
Will be continuing the pattern of ruler-work/straight line stitching and feathers. This time, I increased the spacing of the straight stitched lines from the previous ‘row’……………………….. A bit of a better perspective…. I have found it’s so very easy to … Continue reading

Part 5: I Love it when…….
A plan comes together….don’t you?? I’m at the point where getting a photo is becoming a bit of a challenge. This quilt is 84”x90” and being stitched “in the round” instead of the usual center-outwards (in quadrants) so I’m constantly … Continue reading

Part 1: Eek! “Vintage” purchased “new” by ME!!……………..
That thought kinda hit me a bit hard! I, along with most every other stitcher, have been delving into my stash for supplies during this ‘virus time’. I came across 2 Connecting Threads packs of 10” squares that had been … Continue reading

Saturday report: A Friday finish…………
The binding is on and a small label is attached. Martha Washington Star quilt is officially a UFO no longer! It’s especially nice that my stash didn’t increase much with leftovers from this kit and I used all but 25” … Continue reading

Binding is on, soon to be gifted……..
Although, I really haven’t been working on this quilt all that long it seems like forever (in my world!)..only 3 weeks! Some photos to finish this one………… I was able to share this at the last “Killer Bees” group … Continue reading

Closing in on a finish……………..
But first, I’ve been asked about the pattern for this piecing. It’s “Grandma’s Stars” pattern. I purchased this as a kit a few years back but the pattern is still available for purchase from Connecting Threads at this link. … Continue reading

2 out of 3……………….
Borders completed. (To see the center completion, see this post.) The first/narrow border was ditch stitched and will remain unquilted. The 2nd/green border is now “feathered”. Quilting on a print such as this one will not show off the actual … Continue reading

“Aurora”…final chapter………
The binding is on/stitched and this one is a “finish”………………………..The purple was perfect for binding… Just a reminder, the stitching was done on my Juki 2010, w/o any stitch regulation. This “Dream Big” version has become a favorite in this … Continue reading

“Aurora” dreaminess……………
The dimension that’s created, when stitching is added to these “Dream Big” panels, never ceases to amaze me and is even more apparent through the lens of the camera. The current panel is 3/4 complete and this flower is incredible! … Continue reading

A Friday (top) finish and a ‘Back to it’………….
The “Nova Star” is officially a finish (at least as a ‘top’!)……… It measures a nice 80”x 80” (still not fond of the “square” idea) and DH’s “wing-span” had a bit of a difficulty holding it! You can trace this … Continue reading

A simple E2E……………
What is that??? In quilter’s terminology, it’s a quilting pattern that stitches the 3 layers (backing, batting and pieced top) together from “Edge to Edge” using an all-over motif. Ms. Sweetie and I have spent some quality time together over … Continue reading
So much to tell………………….
And, with this post, I will begin to bring you up to date with what’s been going on. I will share my yesterday to start. I’ve been stitching on a very nice client/friend’s quilt (on Ms. Sweetie/Sweet 16) and it … Continue reading
Design Wall….er….Table Monday…………………
Wall…table….what’s in a word? Today was finish a quick “UFO” day (actually, get rid of a little stack of fabric left from 3 previously completed pillowcases). This time I needed to bring it into the quilty world by doing something … Continue reading
A Friday Finish!!!!……………….
I referenced further table toppers ‘in the works’ in my last post. I had quilted a couple of Christmas/winter themed toppers for my church and had heard that, maybe, some more summery themed little quilts would be nice. So, digging … Continue reading
Taming the “poof” or Why did I choose this……….
Batting!!!!! Ok…..to backtrack a tad. The project in question is one that’s been around for a while ….ummmm….yeah…….like November of 2015 is the beginning of the “birthing”…ha! Please, go to this post if you want the “rest of the story”.That … Continue reading
Design Wall meets Ms Sweetie………….
That is, what was on my design wall last week……. now has the beginnings of some action of the feathered kind ………..ummmmm….c’mon, you had to have known I would get some featherin’ in this one somehow, didn’t ya????????? Stay tuned….more … Continue reading
“Twist & Shout”….a finish…………..
Yup…..a tale that was last seen here, with this added “feathered swirl” stitching motif tutorial detail here, is now this ‘finish’ that I’m completely in love with!!!!!!! With its mix of flannel and cotton charm squares, setting triangles and borders, … Continue reading
“Twist & Shout” a bit longer…………..
My Thursday workshop resulted in this demo top…….. and if I didn’t get right to the quilting (a “next project” is lurking!!!!!!!), it would get shelved…………oh no!!!!!! So, last Friday I managed to pin baste it (crawling on the floor to … Continue reading
Reveal……………….(First of several…..)
Way back in July I posted a bit about a “paint chip challenge” (you need to scroll down a bit on that post link to get to the explanation) that was presented to my local quilt group. I posted a … Continue reading
The “rest of the story”………
Is this beautiful ‘finish’ (which was gifted last Saturday)……. The photos, above/below, do not do it justice. The ‘eggplant’ color is so rich I can’t seem to capture it correctly. The very beginnings of this one may be found here … Continue reading
Sometimes………………….
Playing with high contrast thread is just the “ticket” to take a person’s mind off a dreary overcast (but lovely ‘cool’!!!) Saturday morning……… Don’tcha agree????? Maybe you could try the same???? 15 minutes of play!!! For those who might somehow … Continue reading

A Monday vintage finish…………
Of this piece (one of two….the other will not be stitched but will be the “comparison” before/after). I continued filling in all that beautiful “negative space”/border with feathers and dense straight line stitching…….. Close tight work……nose to fabric, almost!!!! LOL! … Continue reading
Progress is always a good thing……..
At least when it comes to stitching….hmmm??? Quilt beginnings found here. Am loving the texture!!!! Not sure what’s next……..the quilt will speak I’m sure!!!!
Some days are spent in the ditch……..
Stitching, that is!!!! My thread of choice is this beautiful Isacord………….. It was so nice to be working with the newly installed LED light strip (see here) from Inspired LED. I placed the on/off switch in a convenient spot … Continue reading
Next up…..a wedding quilt……..
For the client’s adult grandson. “Rail Fence”. I was asked by the client’s daughter (a gal I worked with) to complete this quilt for her mom as that task was not possible for her. The darkest ‘bars’ are an eggplant … Continue reading

Design (table) Monday……….

Monday Design Wall……Finish!!!………….
Yes, it’s finished (are you as glad as I am????)! All washed, dried and folded ready to head South with us. As you may (or may not) be aware, I reside in the “camp” of not pre-washing my fabric in … Continue reading
Some ruler work and……………
Leafy feathers complete the second border on the quilt in progress. Previous progress found here. This is a backing photo (on the left side of the photo) folded to the right side of the quilt (on the right). Yes, … Continue reading
1 completed; 1 remaining…………
Border, that is. Got the borders SID (Stitch in the Ditch)/stabilized and decided on a design for the narrower white border. In order to stitch it, I needed to grab another handy gadget….my Handi Quilter “Versa Tool”. With a few … Continue reading
The next step………………..
Involves a bit more doodling to come up with a stitching design for the batik fabrics in my “Seeing Starz” quilt. The leafy feathers were so much fun, and very much “in my comfort zone” (love all kinds of feathers!!!!) … Continue reading
