slow but steady. I keep reminding myself this one has to be finished soon. 6 more blocks, 2 favorites up close: This is not the order the blocks are going to be in the quilt. This is just the order I am making them in… The first six blocks…
I finished a cushion I started a few weeks ago. I actually quilted the top and then left it to figure out what I will do with the back of it. After all that thinking, I just made an envelope opening. Oh well. Sometimes the simplest is the best. I used white scraps of an … More toss it cushion
the beginnings… for my goddaughter for her first communion. she likes pink and red. her room is mostly pink. so I am going with red with some pink. that might change because I tend not to choose fabrics as I go when making a bigger quilt. I tried pulling all the fabrics first, but I … More windmolen quilt
It has been finished for over a week now, but I could not get a decent picture of it. And then I did. But then the pictures wouldn’t get themselves off the camera. I started in back in January, finished the top a couple of weeks later, and then was sidetracked with another quilt and … More “Toss it” finished
As I mentioned in the previous post, as of recently, I have developed a “thing” for vintage sheets.

I have not had a chance to get into my sewing room for almost two weeks. This is almost finished – two more patches, already … More and now for something completely different: field work pillow

I would have liked to put darker binding, maybe something with black… but all my black fabrics is in little scraps, definitely not enough for binding. I am quite pleased how … More spiro quilt – finished
I usually don’t get any sewing done over the weekend. It’s all about family… But I did make a lot of progress on Friday: Sandwich was made. I decided against piecing the back, piecing of all these blocks took long enough. And I was just eager to see this one finished. So, I used pink/white … More spiro quilt – progress
