The purple wall is coming along slowly.   Most of last weekend I spent quilting up these Carpenter Star blocks from last year's RSC.  I bought a piece of wide backing fabric and then ended up using enough up on the front that I had to add a strip to the back to make sure it would be long enough.  I used purple in honor of March.  Evenings this week were spent sewing ..read more

 Most of my quilting time last weekend was spent on this scrappy postage stamp quilt.  I loaded and quilted on Saturday and then did the binding on Sunday.   There is truly no rhyme or reason, just all the leftover 1.5 inch squares from lots of other projects.  A few more purple blocks got added to the wall.  Tutorials for the Hens and Chicks will be finished ..read more

 I seem to be on a tour of classic quilt blocks lately.  Jacob's Ladder is one that makes a great overall secondary pattern.  Those are great for scrappy quilts that need a unifying fabric.  Imagine using this for all your leader and ender 4 patches with a commonly themed fabric or color in the HST units.  The "problem" with sampler quilts is that it spawns so many ideas ..read more

Bear's Paw is another classic and simple quilt block.  The paw always looks proportionately large compared to the claws.  This is one that I would love to modify to insert sampler, string or crumb blocks into that space.  I have seen some stunning quilts made with one block in multiple sizes with the smaller blocks inserted into strategic spots in the larger blocks.  So many ..read more

This one is really just a cross between a Jacob's Ladder and a Shoofly.   I had never made it before, but after making both of those blocks, this one seemed like it should be the next to try.  Start with your HST units and strip sets.  If you don't have enough length in a single strip, feel free to use two or more shorter strips.  As long as you have enough to get ..read more

And after leap day, we say farewell to red with its passion and fire.   And welcome to purple in all its shades.  The work week was a busy one with off site meetings and a big evening event.  All went beautifully, but it is nice to downshift for the weekend.  Next week has two evening events and the SAT, so it is sure to be even busier.  Until then, I have ..read more

This is the last red Saturday! I need to get moving. All my bits and pieces are cut and ready to sew for stars and plusses. I just need some quality quiet time with my machine.

3 weeks into red and I have not sewn much yet.  Sampler blocks were ready a while ago.  I have plus blocks cut and ready for leaders and enders.  I found a stack of orphan bullseye and HST blocks to use for something.  I squared up a bunch of random red crumb fabric.   Those will turn into sawtooth stars.  Everything is ready to go though, so the sewing should ..read more
