I decided to jump on the bandwagon and participate in 10 Quilty Little Secrets, a fun post stared by Amy @ 13 Spools. I was actually surprised at how hard it was for me to put together my list! 1. I almost never use pins when piecing. The only exception I can think of in my recent sewing history is...

A few weeks ago, Elizabeth @ Don't Call me Betsy started a new Friday linky party called Quilted Flashback Friday. If it opens today, I'll update my post to link up. I made this Star Quilt while I was taking summer school college classes in 1999 to use on a double bed when I moved out of the dorms to...

I am super pleased with how my twin sized (65" wide by 88" long) Three Flocks (by Brigit Gail) quilt top has finished out! You can read more about the quilt top in my original Three Flocks {WiP} post from last week. Today, I am just going to let you scroll through my set of photos from the quilt piecing process....

Local Fair Opening Day

Friday was the opening day for the local fair, and I was looking forward to going down to see my quilts on display all day! It has been a pretty hot summer, and yesterday was no exception, so my husband and I planned to go down to the fair in the evening after the peak heat of the day...

I am excited to be able to reveal a quilt to you today that I made at the end of July. I was approached by a group of friends who wanted to work with me to make a baby quilt as a baby shower gift. We emailed back and forth, and to enhance the experience, we decided to go...

Just as I was finishing up Orange Crush at the beginning of the week, I started wondering what I would be working on next. Usually I have a plan, or some kind of inspiration, or a commission, or *some* seed of an idea about what project I want to work on next, but even with some fabric bundles bought...

I have to admit that I really have a serious crush on this quilt. For whatever reason, orange has been the color of the summer for me. Because I kept finding myself drawn to orange, I decided to really go for it and create an ombre gradient quilt to show off the vibrant color. I chose to follow a...

After making so many drawstring bags, I started itching to work on a quilt project over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, I pulled out Orange Crush. After a lot of back and forth on whether I wanted to add a border to the top or not, I auditioned some Kona White and Kona Bone as a simple border for the top. The pure...

On Sunday afternoon, I carefully lint rolled Namibia Trees and the Shooting Star Mini Quilt, and I drove them down to the local fairgrounds to be entered into the fair. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to drop off the quilts. My husband has experience with the New Mexico State Fair, which is held in Albuquerque each September,...

Shooting Star is 20" wide by 23" long and is a pattern from Lee Heinrich @ Freshly Pieced. You can purchase her mini quilt pattern...

I really loved making this quilt. The fabrics are fun, the pattern creates a really great 3D effect, and I really enjoyed quilting it. The idea to "hide" some rockets among the rest of the quilting?!? Super fun! For a recap on the history and evolution of this quilt, check out my other posts about it: Space Age Tumbling...

I completed the quilt top for Space Age Tumbling Blocks on Tuesday morning, and I love how similar the concept image created in EQ5 is to the actual quilt top. Including fabric prep, the quilt top took me 9.5 hours to get to this point, and pre-quilting, it measures 62" across by 75" down. The backing went together very quickly...

I had enough energy to sew for 3 hours on Monday, which almost was enough to complete the Space Age Tumbling Blocks quilt top. I might have over extended myself a bit between housework, sewing, and exercise yesterday, though. So I think my goal for today on the quilt top will be to just get the border on the...

It is really unusual for me to get sick. This past winter my poor husband had the flu and several colds and I never really came down with anything. This past weekend I was knocked down by a cold. I had a high fever for about 12 hours and just really did not have the energy to do much. I...

I took my time carefully cutting all the pieces for this quilt top, because I knew that after the cutting prep, it would be all about consistent seam allowance and no more trimming! It took me 3 hours to get all the pieces cut and assembled. The first 2 columns took me an hour to put together. The second set of...

I was able to finish piecing the Orange Crush quilt top on Wednesday. I am pleasantly surprised with how well my points turned out. It is definitely ORANGE! As I was piecing, I only found one location where the same fabric touched (which I was trying to avoid), so not too shabby. It has taken 13 hours to get...

When I was commissioned to make a set of placemats to match a wedding registry dinnerware set (Orange, Jade, and Cocoa Custom Placemat Order), I kicked off an obsession with the color orange! I stopped by Joann Fabrics on Saturday to pick up a few essentials (thread, some Kona solids), and I noticed they were having a really great...
