crazy lady’s house

For September, John sent plain gray Kona Cotton and requested little houses to make a neighborhood quilt. I found that little bird in my scrap box and knew that I had to use it. So this is the crazy lady’s house. Every neighborhood should have one, right? She painted her house blue and kept lots [...]

received!

It’s here, people! My fabulous partner from Hawaii, Amber, sent this. Apparently there’s quite a story behind it. I love, love, love it so much! And she sent a piece of Munki too! What could be better?

I actually saw this quilt on the DQS7 pool and immediately mark it as my favorite. I was so [...]

doll quilt, done!

My DQS7 is done! I love it and I hope my partner will love it too. For the center panel, I used a pattern from Material Obsession. The border on that book is similar to this one, but I made it smaller so it would fit in with the doll quilt size. Those triangles are [...]

Just one more to quilt to go, it’s already pieced and waiting to be sandwiched. The end [...]

A strip of Echino cheater fabric between natural colored Aiden linen quilted in straightish lines. It looked to plain [...]

sc2 – august

This is for Alissa, who sent pink fabrics. I added some of my own for variation and also the solid white to break it up. I’ve been wanting to try some half hex blocks and this is perfect for trying it out. I’m not sure if I want to do a whole quilt like this. [...]

crazy for heather

I made this quilt top yesterday, it’s about 20″ square and it’s intended for a Heather Ross quilt swap over on Flickr. I found out about the quilt through this group. A truly wonderful group that really fuels your fabric buying and swapping frenzy. I’ve been swapping left and right since I joined for a [...]

sew connected – may

I’m waaay overdue for my Sew Connected block, so this one is for Tine. It’s a disappearing nine patch (sort of), if you notice the mini four patch in the middle is all the same.
