A little project…….

Posted on January 29, 2021 by treadlemusic

That was needed. We make coffee in a small French press maker and like our coffee hot so a solution was needed. I measured the container (circumference and distance between the handle attachments) and proceeded to grab fabric, some Hobbs … Continue reading →

Posted on January 28, 2021 by treadlemusic

Yup, they just seem to be the dominant item in my kit stash! This one is from a Connecting Threads kit, “Wheat Stripe”, purchased……..well, a while back. I spotted this pattern ‘cuz I always wondered how what I refer to … Continue reading →

Yup, friend, Jean, really gave me some beauties!! Huge oversight: I forgot to take the obligatory ‘before’ photo! ……..sigh……… Well…moving to the process that transpired………. First, some registration markings (not many needed on this one!!), with leaves that quickly followed………… Many … Continue reading →

Wow! Another finish!!!!!…………

Posted on November 7, 2020 by treadlemusic

Yesterday, after lunch, I started the last needed Christmas gift. I knew it was to be a small holiday themed table runner……but exactly what pattern and fabric?—-no clue! “Quick and simple” was the goal……enter this pattern- It had been shared … Continue reading →

Finishing up the week……………..

Posted on November 6, 2020 by treadlemusic

Beautiful warm (record breaking?) sunny day, baking chocolate chip cookies and a ‘finish’! Perfect!! This little runner was a snap to cut and piece using Sew Kind of Wonderful’s awesome ruler . The video tutorial was a great help, also. … Continue reading →

Pin-basted and ready………

Posted on November 5, 2020 by treadlemusic

For some feathered dimension!! A Drunkard’s Path variation once again only in a smaller application (see this post for larger version). This table runner will be 14”x28” and is another quick project (“instant” gratification?). and a back view with some … Continue reading →

Friday’s progress……………

Posted on October 17, 2020 by treadlemusic

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 →

Execution…………….

Posted on October 14, 2020 by treadlemusic

Is where I’m at. I have a ‘plan’……. and I began with ditch stitching all seams so all basting pins have been removed in the center area. For a sit-down quilter, starting to quilt in the center is always advised … Continue reading →

Fall colors and a modification………

Posted on October 12, 2020 by treadlemusic

This past weekend was really gorgeous weather! So, hubbs and I just had to take a drive…again…..A glimpse of the Mississippi River… The roads are quite winding through all the bluffs surrounding this beautiful river Today’s winds will probably bring … Continue reading →

October!!! Really!!!????…………

Posted on October 1, 2020 by treadlemusic

And stash raiding continues. In my last post I share some placemats for a senior dining group in a nearby town and, after thinking a bit, thought it might be a day-brightener for our local folks who receive the “Meals … Continue reading →

Still in small project mode……..

Posted on September 24, 2020 by treadlemusic

And enjoying these moments. One of the groups I belong to is making placemats for each of the people who take part in a local “Senior Meals” group. The mats will be a real table brightener with one side being … Continue reading →

A Friday finish……….

Posted on September 18, 2020 by treadlemusic

A satisfying way to end the week! This little project began (in my head!) last Wednesday as the perfect gift for an upcoming special day. The idea was inspired by a cute little quilt in this magazine: Are you familiar … Continue reading →

Part 4: Coming along nicely………..

Posted on August 7, 2020 by treadlemusic

I’m not sure why the stitching design has been such a challenge but it has. Because of various non-quilting activities, this project really has not had the “normal” continuity feel in its process. Anyhow, here is where I’m at now……..an … Continue reading →

Stars…..a reoccurring theme……………..

Posted on April 15, 2020 by treadlemusic

Doesn’t everyone like stars? Whether they’re wonky, lone, Ohio, or any other imaginable variety. As my “left-overs” get fewer, the projects seem to be getting smaller (to accommodate these lesser amounts). This latest (I think table topper) is 36” square………………….An … Continue reading →

Presenting to you………….

“Seussical Trees” (for me, it has a wee bit better ‘ring’ to it than “Wonky Trees!)……………. I did a very simple loopy star stitching using my fave Superior Variegated Metallic Gold thread, #025, to add the glisten that those trees … Continue reading →

Passing the time with FMQ fun……………..

Posted on February 28, 2019 by treadlemusic

I picked up a Christmas/winter themed panel quite a while back with thoughts of……….hmmmm……well, really, no thoughts at all! I just liked it! When gathering things together to head out to Texas, this little (24”x 33”) piece hopped right into … Continue reading →
