Over the weekend, I had fun piecing this little gem! I had been mulling over an idea for my Doll Quilt Swap quilt, and finally got to it! Each block is finished at 4", which means the overall quilt is 16" x 16", perfect doll quilt size. Each block is paper pieced, an often intimidating [...]
Hey there! Yesterday I finally had a chance to sit and sew -- and it felt so good! The methodical process, of piecing, pressing and making decisions as I work is like magic. And I never tire of the process. I know you can relate to that idea. Now my little ones are gathering around, [...]
Hi there! I hope you had a nice weekend - we did but it went by too fast! Knowing that you really just want to know if you won, let's get down to that business. The winner is -- Those of you that did not win can visit Jackie and console yourself. (I might just join [...]
A couple weeks ago Pat asked if I would join her in a simple blog hop, um ya! Of course I'm in. I had the pleasure of meeting Pat at Market last month, and she is so much fun and sweet too! If you haven't listened to her Monday radio show - you should - [...]
Working with Wonderland by Momo again, has been a lot of fun! After much deliberation, and a little experimentation...this is the main quilt - Aren't my helpers cute? After chopping up four blocks, and putting them back together, I decided I didn't need to push myself out of my box on this quilt! Since the [...]
I showed you my stash of Wonderland fabrics, just one week ago. I got to work and stayed up late sewing - then showed you the start of my project here. It felt really good to stay up late and sew, just because, not because I was trying to meet a deadline! Over the weekend I [...]
The beginnings of my Wonderland quilt: After a full day of celebrating Sophia's birthday, I stayed up late sewing...Joe thinks I *might* have a problem! It's so soothing to me, sew, press, trim, repeat...more on that later. Sophia turned 6! She had a fun day being the center of attention and loved every moment of [...]
I've had this little collection of Wonderland for a couple of years now. I've had an idea for a while now, but yesterday in the shower it all clicked, and now I KNOW exactly what I want to do. Be on the lookout for progress here in the next few weeks - I'm excited to [...]
I need to be accountable, or these are not going to get finished! I made place mats for our family, and a couple little mug rugs with the extra bits. They are quilted, and ready to be bound...my goal, is to have them done and posted here sometime on Saturday. Now to go make a *few* binding [...]
I go back and forth. Sometimes I quilt my own quilts, sometimes I take them to Natalia. I always LOVE the results when Natalia has been involved. This is the back of a quilt, that I cannot show entirely yet, but really wanted to share the fabulous quilting! What do you think? Have you had [...]
As I was working on a project last week, I forced my self to stop and take a picture. I love the lines and the movement in these pieces. Amy
Yay for progress! Strip sets, and seams pressed open...a couple of my favorite things. Today I'll be cutting these sets, and continuing forward. Blessings ~ Amy
