Sewing and Quilting

This weekend I have done a lot of sewing and quilting.  This is a QOV  where I added texture.  I'm pleased with result.  Maestro is inspecting and has given her approval lol.

The back shows lots of texture.

A love quilt to turn in at the next guild meeting.

I decided to purchase the Dear Jane software. It is well,worth it in my opinion.

The first block was a paper pieced one called pinwheel gone awry or something similar.

I hope your weekend included some stitching. Frog Quilter

Orphan Round Up

This first one had everything inside the inner blue border. I added the rest to bring it up to size.

This one would make a great guy quilt. I'm not quite finished with it. It needs to be a little bit longer.

I have taken the Dear Jane plunge. In indigo and Snow White. These are the blocks so far.

A strippy enlarged that would be perfect for a little girl. I put this one on the frame today and quilted it. So pretty. I still have more blocks to make more quilts. ThE pile has gone down a little bit.

For the kitty fans. This is Mr. Tale waiting for me to turn out the light, bed time.

Great Weekend

This past weekend was QSC Spring meeting which means girls weekend.  There was lots of talking sewing and fun.  I did manage to sew 34 mile a minute blocks in the hotel room.

This quilt was a secret project until Saturday.  This is the 2015 scholarship quilt.  Tickets will be sold until next year.  Love this quilt!

It's a Flimsy

I pushed to get this top together this morning. There is one block that needs to be rotated.



I'm thinking about a black border and then .......

Finish it up Friday

I finished up the quilting on this QOV. I started last weekend. I am ruler challenged and trying to improve this by using them. I bought this fabulous set of rulers from the quilted pineapple. My digital machine guide is waiting for a new set of wheels to be designed. So it's just me free handing everything.



A close up of the quilting





My scrappy stars is now a flimsy...

I was fighting with the rain getting the picture. You can see the rain drops on the boards.





My other goal this weekend is to finish up comment blocks. You're going to love it.

Piano Keys

My sewing room looked like a tornado blew through. I made enough piano keys for the star top and then some. I took a pile of fabric and ran it through my go cutter. I cut too many and now the drawer is full, packed to the gills is more like it.

It's time to make another log cabin quilt using these strips. They are my all time favorite quilt. I have one on my bed and it sleeps wonderful.


I have attached the key sets to both long sides. I will wait on the other two sides as I want to make six pointed stars (EPP) in the corner blocks. It shouldn't take too long.


This is what it looked like before the keys were sewn on.


I also have been working on the APQ Four Patch challenge. I cleared out a bunch of scraps and cut two inch strips. Strip sets were sewn and I have cut about 2/3 of the sets. I have two big piles of four patches patiently waiting to be sewn.

Weekend Update

I quilted a Qov yesterday and just love how it came out. My new rails are awesome and quilting is SO SMOOTH. Feathers in the red border and swirly tongues on the rest.


Today I put my scrappy star blocks into a flimsy. Wow!





Maestro checking it out.
