Space Arcade {Finished Quilt}

I am really thrilled with my first Night Garden bonus quilt finish, Space Arcade. For a quick recap, I made the queen size version of Night Garden for my sister- and brother-in-law. From the queen size version of Night Garden, there are enough large scraps created in piecing the quilt top that I also designed 2 additional throw size quilts...

Project Quilting 14.6 {Conquer a Fear}

The final Project Quilting Season 14 prompt is "Conquer a Fear". I sat and pondered the prompt for a while on Sunday when the prompt was released. I'm not particularly afraid of any quilting techniques, piecing methods, or colors. Though I used to be hesitant about curves and using pink or brown, so I am definitely proof that the...

Project Quilting 14.5 {Not a Square}

When the prompt came out on Sunday for Project Quilting, Sew Not a Square, I knew immediately what I wanted to do: I wanted to create a baby sized quilt using improv curves. I went to my scraps and pulled out my solids that ranged from red/orange through teal. I immediately fell in love with the idea of the quilt...

Board & Batten QAL {Finished Quilt}

I have been juggling more projects at once than I am totally comfortable with. So today, it's really exciting for me to get to move one of my work in progress projects to the completed column. Let's start with some details! I used my walking foot to quilt zig-zag lines that echo the angles of the HSTs, and I used...

Project Quilting 14.4 {A Novel Project}

This week for Project Quilting, we were tasked with being inspired by a book we have read. When I worked full time as an engineer, I was an avid reader. I would devour books in the evenings as an escape from the stresses of the work day. I have fond memories of long hours spent in a bath soaking...

What is Love? {Finished Baby Quilt}

As part of the What is Love? block collaboration, the designers all tested one another's blocks. We were paired up to provide feedback for 2 other designers, but there were so many fantastic designs that I kept sewing until I ran out of the fabrics I selected. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQUuYfDQTt/ In addition, I sewed up 2 more versions of my contribution to the...

Project Quilting 14.3 {54-40 or Fight}

When the prompt for PQ 14.3 came out on Sunday (54-40 or Fight), I was putting the finishing touches on a quilt that I will share with you next week. I wasn't sure I'd have time to participate, and the prompt's reference of the traditional 54-40 or Fight quilt block didn't immediately spark anything for me. But it was...

Project Quilting 14.2 {Pink Tint}

I was ready on Sunday when the second Project Quilting prompt was published. The number one goal this week is that some shade of pink must dominate the project. Well, off to my pink print bin I went... I picked out 9 prints from my bin that graduate from light to dark in value. Then I paired them with a...

Project Quilting 14.1 {One}

Today kicks off the 14th season of Project Quilting. I have watched others participate for years (and Quilting Jetgirl is and has been a sponsor for Project Quilting), but I have never participated myself. I know, how have I not made something before?? Well, when the prompt for PQ14.1 came out today, I knew it was time to jump...
