Monday is all about Fabric – #44 – Fabric by the bolt + The Morning Sun Quilt Along

Hi Friends! I made a bit of a splurge.  I bought several bolts of fabric.  All of them are from Art Gallery Fabrics.  Not shown is the shelf of low volumes I have also just acquired. I actually buy fabric by the bolt a couple of times a year.  I make quite a bit of…

A Quilt Maker’s Tale – #1 – Nothing Flash or Fancy

  My grandmother could pull any quilt from her closet (that’s where she kept them) and tell you something about it.  One time she pulled one down for me and told me where each fabric had come from, some were clothing that her children had worn.  She remembered every piece.  Every quilt maker has a…

A Call For Tales and Stories

Hello, friends!   Coming in 2018, I’m interested in writing a newly monthly series called A Quilt Maker’s Tale.  This is not a ‘get to know a quilter’ type article (however I always love those kinds of posts).  This is supposed to be more of just a simple story. Maybe that story is about a…

A few photos from Chapter 5 💛 I finally got the Dr A few photos from Chapter 5 💛
I finally got the Dresden attached, and seeing it sitting on that quilted background made me ridiculously happy. All those little blades, all that straight line quilting, and now it actually looks like the quilt I’ve been seeing in my head.
I went with the traditional method on this one, top stitching around the edges and stitching in the ditch between the blades. It takes a little more stopping and starting, but I really love the definition it gives the Dresden.
And yes, I definitely spent some time just standing there looking at it before moving on 😅

In this chapter, we’re attaching the Dresden plate and exploring two different quilting options. You can choose a traditional approach with top stitching and stitch-in-the-ditch quilting, or a free motion method using flowing S-curves to secure the plate.
