WIP 3 done


Yay for me...another WIP bites the dust!
This is the plaidish quilt tutorial by Erica @ Kitchen Table Quilting
Such a fun quilt to do and mindless sewing of scraps except for light and dark. 
64" x 84" approx
scraps, serpentine quilting


I was not sure I could quilt it myself so I tried to keep it simple. I used the serpentine stitch on my machine and with the help of the stitch in the ditch walking foot followed the lines. I did really good checking the back for tucks etc until the end of the rows. So of course I have a few at the end of the rows..ha


Luckily the back is pretty busy and most you can't see only feel. sigh.....



It is crinkly now because of that stitching and I hope when I wash it it will be even more!

started in 2019 and made top 2020 and finished 2022...whew

It is a glorious finish and a beautiful sunny day for pictures too. Plaidish has been on my list for a while. Not see, only feel - seems like a good idea today. It is Valentine's Day and my head is full of naughty thoughts. Hope you get to snuggle under this loveliness!!!

Sometimes I really don't want to baste a quilt (to me the worst step) but once I'm done with that step, I'm happy I saved the longarm quilter money. But it is nice to splurge and have one done for me occasionally.

That is so pretty! I love the Plaidish design, but haven't tried it myself. The serpentine quilting is perfect for it, too!

This turned out great! I've been trying to decide on a scrappy pattern to make for a friend, and I think this is it. She doesn't like anything too feminine. and plaidish looks like it will be perfect. thanks for sharing

Project Quilting Season 5 - #1

Image
  So excited that Kim over at  Persimon Dreams is hosting Project Quilting again this year. It was so fun last year and I accomplished a lot.  This year I had so many ideas for this first Challenge. I wanted to do something more arty but when it came down to it I really need to make lap or baby size quilts for some of the charities I contribute to. I am sure I will do something more artsy before the challenge is over but for today I am going with a version of a scrap quilt.  The Challenge is "String Along with Me" I used the same strip quilt as you go as I did in a quilt I made last Oct following Maureen Cracknell and her Herringbone QAYG quilt tutorial.  This was is called Scrappy II  it is 43 x 45. All scrap strings, scrap batting pieces and scrap binding. It might not be very creative but my scrap box is looking so much better!  (notice the fun fabric I found for the back...lovely dotty diamonds!) Simple quilting since each strip was quilted right to

I am so excited to be taking part in the 2019 Online Quilters Meet and Greet organized by Victoriana Quilt Designs! Welcome Welcome Welcome ~~~~~~~~~ My name is Kris and I have been quilting for quite a few years. I started pretty young, learning from my mom.  When she passed away I was not sure I wanted to continue to quilt and then......I did.  I made a portrait quilt of her and you can read about it  HERE Over the past few years since, I have jumped into trying and finding my way. One of favorite trys was this scrap quilt called Triumphal Arches.  It was made of random scraps fitted with arch shapes. I used all sort of colors and then light to dark background scraps. It was so much fun to make. You can read about it  HERE Please take some times to visit the others on the Quilters Meet and Greet by clicking on the Logo up top  and click on the logo below to enter the giveaway.  Thanks for stopping by! Good luck to you all! If you feel inclined you c

My turn on the New Blogger Blog Hop

Image
It is my turn this week on the  New Blogger Blog Hop   sponsored by Beth at Plum and June.  Since joining this Blog Hop I have learned so much and am still in the process of making everything better. I have added an About me page HERE  (quilty pics) and a couple bits about why I started my blog. More quilty pics Quilt Gallery .  In a nutshell, it is a tribute to my Mom and all the quilty-ness and crafty-ness I grew up with. My Mother was very creative in so many ways.  I am one of 10 children and so she 'had' to be creative and know how to make things from not much.  1. resin on photo keychain 2. reading a yard of books 3.magnet note holder 4. building a shed 5. rag rug 6,7,8. earring making 9,10. bracelet making 11. quilted letters tote 12. doll making 13. hand puppets 14. shower table of food 15. quilted zipper bags 16. frame purse Crafty things I love: Above are a few things I have dabbled with in the last couple of years. Some involve sewing and some

  I am a Maker 24" x 24" pattern by Liz Harvantine   HERE matchstick quilting I have loved this pattern since it came out and this is my third time in making the small wall hanging size.   It is really fun to make.  This piece was inspired by a piece of text fabric that a friend who happens to be co-chair of this quilt show, gave me a few weeks ago. It has text and sheet music on it. Then I found some fabric that has sewing pattern terms and quilt blocks on it. Some fabric with writing, photography, architecture and diagrams and put them all together to represent the makers of many beautiful things. This wall hanging will be donated to one of my local quilt guilds for their quilt show auction coming up Oct 6-8 to raise money for the guild.   I might have to buy it back I love it so much! If you are in Lincoln Ne during that time stop by to see the show or bid on a favorite piece to own.  linking up with  Crazy mom quilts
