Quilter Blogs

I found a great site where you can read the latest postings of dozens of quilting blogs all in one place ... it's Quilter Blogs...my blog is listed there as well.

They also list hundreds of quilt shops. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and check it out!

Not Too Much of a Struggle

This is "D-10 Battlefield", an advanced-level paper-pieced block. There were several seams to match and really, really small triangles to deal with. I did manage to cut off a couple of points a bit, but I won't lose sleep over them... Oh, how I wish all the DJ blocks could be paper-pieced...

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Lately, almost nothing gets wasted in my sewing studio. These selvages were cut off from some Christmas fabric that I recently used for pillowcases and I'm now in the process of making them into something fun. But I can't show the results yet...maybe in a couple of weeks...

I Forgot

The name of the block in the previous post is "K-11 Columbine", an intermediate-level paper-pieced block.

No, This Is Not A Mistake

The points of the star are supposed to be cut off...at least, that's how Jane Stickle had hers. It bothers me to see this, but I want to make it fairly close to the original quilt.

I can just hear the comments that will be made once my quilt is finished and I show it somewhere..."Look, she can't even get her star points made correctly! And she calls herself a quilter?"

Simple Baby Quilt

This is a baby quilt that I made in late 2002 for one of my husband's great-nephews. I just used a large animal print alternating with nine-patch blocks -- quick and painless.

Even 6 years ago I had enough of a stash to make this top without going out to buy more fabric.

Apologies for the bad photo quality -- it was taken with an old digital camera before I knew something about digital cameras. The colors are much better in person.

Moving Right Along

This is "M-8 Enchanted Square", an intermediate-level paper-pieced block. It was fairly easy.
