Bohippian Quilt – Work in Progress #2 –  70s Vibes

Bohippian Quilt – Work in Progress #2 – 70s Vibes

  I’m finally done with the second round for my Bohippian quilt. I talked about Bohippian last in this progress post. It’s taken me two months to get the White Linen hexies on. I’m thinking I must be really slow, but I’m working an hour or two mostly daily while bingeing whatever show I’m bingeing…

Little Miss Sawtooth Quilt #11 – Coral, Turquoise + Yellow

  Yes, yes, yes, I’m making another Little Miss Sawtooth quilt. Don’t be judging me! 🙂 This one is a commissioned quilt and it’s meant to look like the original version, but a bit smaller. This time I’m making it 60″ square. And it’s my eleventh Little Miss quilt. Yah, I know, I know! Lol….

Work in Progress – A Dresden Quilt #8 – Pink + Peach Combo

  This one is a commission quilt and let me tell you it is taking FOREVER. I don’t make many king size quilts. This one measures 108″ square and every step of it is taking longer than I anticipated, which makes perfect sense since it’s so large. Still, I’m loving watching it come together. Pattern…

Work in Progress – Bohippian Quilt – 70s Vibes

  You may remember this quilt. I loved that rescue quilt! Since I didn’t make it though, it wasn’t in MY colors. So I got it into my head that I need to get busy on a flower garden quilt made in the same manner with all the things about that rescue that I loved,…

Work in Progress – Moon Goddess #3 – The Golden Bronze and blue one

  I spent so much time planning this one.  My step daughter is having a baby in November and her shower is this coming weekend and that’s who this one will be gifted too.  I knew I wanted to make another Moon Goddess and I wanted the colors paired way down.  Moon Goddess is written…

Some pics from Quilt as Desired. We are working on Some pics from Quilt as Desired. We are working on Chapter 3. I am LOVING this project and cannot wait to turn all this practice into a quilt. 🥰
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/

I’ve been free motion quilting since 2018 and it h I’ve been free motion quilting since 2018 and it has been the slowest part of the quilting journey for me. It did not come naturally. I practiced through a lot of very ugly stitching before anything started to look the way I imagined it could.I keep seeing comments like “I could never do this,” and I just want to say… I used to think that too. I was you. It really does change if you keep going, even when it feels like it’s not working.Thank you for all the love on this piece this week. It feels like I finally hit a little milestone with my quilting, and that’s a pretty special feeling. ❤️
