I have been away from this space for a long time. We have moved, we started settling in a new city and a new state. I have been homesick more than I would ever admit. I thought about archiving this thing. I have been on and off blogging for a long time, but it never … More At Crossroads
I am not going to talk about this quilt much in this post except to say I am so, so happy with how it turned out. I think this is going to hang on the wall. For all the details see Tutorial Part 1 and Part 2. More pictures on flickr.
In the Part 1 of this tutorial we fussy cut all the squares – the larger 3.5×3.5 in and the smaller ones at 1.5×1.5 in. Then we boxed the smaller squares with the background fabric, in this case white, and we ended up with 49 squares that need to be assembled in the quilt top. … More klar quilt tutorial: part 2
Once upon a time, there was a quilt simply called “Pink”. It was my first. OK, my second, but my very first based on my own pattern. It was a small quilt, that was gifted to a little baby girl, born not long after the quilt was made. I almost forgot about this quilt, until … More Klar quilt tutorial: Part 1
I sat down the other day to write an outline for this tutorial and ended up drawing most of it. This is just a tiny bit of it… I have one final thing to finish and then I’ll scan it in and post it here.
Finally! That’s the first thing that comes to mind… I have had issues with a number of quilts, from wrong calculations (while watching Arrested Development!), to mistakes cutting or piecing, and yes, quilting. But this one was a special kind of problematic. ** EDITED 10/01! I really, really disliked the photos I took and posted … More strimla quilt – finished
If there are any regular visitors to this blog they might be surprised that there is very little quilting or weaving or just general making going on here. The reason is the heat. Yes, the heat. Before I elaborate, let me show you what’s waiting to be quilted: I actually quilted about a half of … More too hot to quilt
This one has been finished for a while now, but… you know how that goes… Tomorrow it is going to be gifted, so this was the last chance to get some pictures taken. Here it goes: Is this upside-down? It was not my intention to make hearts, but you’ll see in the next one, the … More Square Hearts
Sunday afternoon I drew a pattern in illustrator, thought about how it could be pieced using a method similar to the one used for my Tolva quilt, but then realized it would be a pain to try to match up those kites and half hexagons. My next thought was… paper piecing. I have not tried … More Paper Piecing Play
This is the fourth and the last of the quilts I finished over the last few months. This one is for my mom. And my favorite. I have a few more quilt tops finished, but they might have to wait. A bit. This is what the process looked like. I selected some fabrics I picked … More Panels
