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 st...

Mountain High, Valley Low - The improv triangle QAL

Image
"Mountain High, Valley Low"  48" x 38" improv from scraps line quilting in diamond pattern The improv triangle QAL with Nicholas Ball on IG was so much fun. It was just the most glorious distraction for me. I was able to sit down and make a few blocks at a time and didn't have to worry about measurements and sizes. It was just what I needed during my waiting game with my health issues.  The back piece was something I hand dyed a while back. I think it worked pretty great for this back with a few leftover blocks. I had several versions going and of course didn't think it was going to end up so big but it was just so fun to work on.  Luckily I had just the right aurifil thread. I ended up using most of the lighter ones which were a mix of 50 and 40 weight.  It took a long time to figure out what I wanted to quilt across all those colors. I asked my husband what he saw when he looked at this piece and he said points...

WIP - End of Summer

Image
The weather lately means it is the end of summer. I still think my new quilt block quilt is pretty sizzling hot!  I love this block and how it came together. So far I added the corner stones and surrounding half stones. I really don't think I want a border on this but will use the orange or yellow for binding maybe. Still deciding. No idea how I am going to quilt around those jagged blocks yet either. Any ideas?  I have the back pieced and should try to get to it yet this week. Linking up with WIP Wed. @ Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts and Needle and Thread Thursdays @ My Quilt Infatuation and I am the Participant Highlight today for A Lovely Year of Finishes @ SewBitterSweetDesigns and Fiber of All Sorts   yippee...go check it out!

Around the Block Party!

Image
"Around the Block" party finish this week. 40 "x 40" approx.  My last week was so productive that I only have a small finish so far this week.  My lqg got together one afternoon to make improv house blocks. It was so much fun that I made a whole block party of them.  I was trying out an idea for a color challenge using a paint chip that has 3 colors. This one had an amber orange color, a chocolate brown and an aqua. I sort of mixed in some gold too but it was fun trying out a color scheme like this and I think it would be fun guild project.  I love how they turned out and and it has started some talk about doing some outreach work for Habitat for Humanity homes. These would be great to do and each house adds a bit of whimsy.  Linking up with Let's bee social @  Sew Fresh Quilts and NTT @  My Quilt Infatuation and Amanda Jean @  Crazy Mom Quilts  and Show off Saturday with  Sew Can She
