Monday is all about Fabric #9 – Katarina Roccella prints

I didn’t get much fabric in last week.  It’s been slow in that way. I did however, get a print or two. I’ve got this thing for florals.  It’s pretty serious, florals and me. And this print seriously struck me.  This is the kinda print that has me doing double takes and buckling at the…

Quilt Beginnings – Quote Quilt and all the supplies

Inspiration. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.  I don’t always have it, but when I do it almost feels like my mind is soaring. Ideas.  Feelings.  Excitement. There is usually a beginning. From about this past November – January, I was reading The Lord of the Rings books.  I know, I know.  I used to hate…

Quilt Reveal – Swoon #4, A Father’s Shirts

This is my fourth Swoon quilt finish. And one I think I might be the most pleased with. In my shop, I actually make quite a bit of memory quilts.  They keep a roof over my head.  I usually make them in the rag quilt style.  It doesn’t matter what materials I use, all are…

Monday is all About Fabric #8 – Blush and Gold

I’m not sporting any new fabric collections today.  Boo!  What I do have is a random mix of fabrics in shades of blush and gold. I actually purchased these fabrics for a quilt I have to make coming up. Metallic gold is one of my favorite colors to use in my quilts. The question today…

How To Piece Like a Rockstar – Part 2 – Make Better Half Square Triangles

This post has been edited to add in this video on 10/12/17.   I want to start this off my saying that you are making a quilt. The little things really don’t matter. Like if your points line up, or if your edges are wobbly, or if you have a pinch or two in your…

Quilt Reveal – Hand Cut Heart Quilt #6

I have way too many scraps. SO. MANY. SCRAPS. You just can’t throw them away.  Heaven forbid. But if you are not using them they pile up quicker than itty bitty kittens. The trick is to use them quickly, but who can keep up with that? I got a quilt order for my Hand Cut…

There are some projects that give me the same gidd There are some projects that give me the same giddy, obsessive feeling I had when I first discovered patchwork. And this mini quilt wall is doing it for me.

I vividly remember 2008, sitting on Google and finding all these blogs with pictures of patchwork. Any patchwork at all. I was hit with this massive need to cut it all up and sew it all back together.

And then, every once in a while, boom. A new quilty project comes along and you get that same loving rush of excitement all over again. I’m always chasing those old feelings. 🩷

I always love this part. The sewing is done, the quilting is done, and all that's left is getting it up on the wall.

For this one, I used two hanging loops instead of the three I used on my sample. Both work great, but if you're curious, the third loop does a better job of hiding the pushpin. Little details like that always seem to matter more to me after the quilt is finished 😅

In this final chapter, we're adding fabric hanging loops, inserting the dowel, and getting the mini quilt up on the wall. It's a short chapter, but it's the one that takes the project from finished quilt to finished display.

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 😅
