The Rescue Quilts – #4 – The Landslide Quilt ( quilt reveal ) – The New

Hey y’all. It feels like a long time since I did a quilt reveal.  This thought made me go back and look and the last reveal I did was early May for this quilt.  That’s not to say I haven’t worked much since then.  I’ve got several quilt tops in the making, just no finishes….

Good Girl quilt #2 ( quilt reveal ) + Get a quilt done in a weekend

  Hey sweet friends! A week or so ago I tested one of my own patterns to be sure that YES, it can be completely finished up in a weekend.  Well, at least the throw size can. I’m showing off my second version of my Good Girl quilt.  This time is luscious plums, purples and…

All About Scrappy Binding + Coin Quilt #2 (quilt reveal)

Indigo & Aster Quilt ( quilt reveal )

Last Fall, I made this quilt.  There’s no pattern for it or even many details to remake it.  I’ve had to wait quite a bit to show you, but finally.  I was most excited about the hand quilting, but we will get to that! Bari J of AGF asked me to make a quilt for…

Me + Low Volumes = LOVE – Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #2 ( quilt reveal )

I was so ridiculously pleased to get to visit this quilt again. For those of you who are newer around here, Little Miss Sawtooth was a quilt along I did late summer of 2017.  It was meant to practice flying geese units, but also learn how to change up quilt blocks to make them your…

We’re playing with swirl variations this week, som We’re playing with swirl variations this week, some loose and flowy, some a little more structured. Come see Chapter 4 of Quilt As Desired class and quilt with me. I am LOVING this project!
We are stumbling through this class. Getting our p We are stumbling through this class. Getting our practice in. That is what makes you better. PRACTICE. There's no cheat code, sadly. Just work through the lessons. We will make some yuck stitches and that is OKAY! Just keep going, prettiness is on the other side of all this work.Come join us at Quilt Class if you want to quilt along. This class is available as standalone or part of the club.

In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are id In Chapter 3, we work on three designs that are ideal for borders and sashing:Swirls in a borderSwirls are a classic FMQ design, but they are not the easiest to master. When I first started quilting, my swirls were always a little too pointy or just kind of strange looking. Honestly, mine still sometimes come out a little funky. That’s okay. We stitch anyway and keep building that rounded movement.Ribbon candyRibbon candy is beautiful and traditional, but let’s just say it can feel a bit hard. We try a looser approach too, and I show you a version I used in the borders of my Dilly Dally quilt that I absolutely love.Wishbone loopsWishbones are a personal favorite. I usually quilt them as a filler, especially inside flower centers. In this chapter, we take that familiar design and try it in a border space to give it a new role.Join in at Quilty Club - http://www.quiltyclub.com/
