Emma’s quilt

In an effort to link to my completed quilt projects on the left sidebar of this Arts & Crafts section, I discovered that I had forgotten to share yet another quilt that was completed during the Great Blog Drought of 2010.

So here she is:

I love the way this quilt turned out; it [...]

Baby boy quilt

I made this little quilt recently for friends of ours who are having their first child in August. 

I’ve made a lot of quilts lately entirely (or almost entirely) out of 2 1/2” squares of fabric.  I have a lot of fabrics and the smaller the squares, the more I can use [...]

Stripping is easy!

I have a lot of experience stripping.  Not on a pole, mind you, stripping as in strip piecing… as in making quilts?  Hello?  Anyone there?!  Saying stripping instead of strip piecing is, like, the oldest quilters joke.  Classic.  Neat.

Strip piecing basically is cutting full-length strips of fabric, selvage-to-selvage, and then sewing the long strips [...]

Color splash in real life

Here’s the quilt I made recently for our cousins who had a baby earlier this year.  This baby boy, Daniel, has such blue eyes, that I took those baby blues as my inspiration for this quilt.

The white fabric is all the same and it has a subtle white-on-white, loop-de-loop print, [...]

Scrap quilt project

Any quilters out there?  Hello?

Today I wanted to share a quilt I recently completed (actual pictures of the finished quilt are coming soon) that was fun, easy to make, and allowed me to use up a lot of different fabrics left over from other projects. 

It seems as though in a down economy [...]

A Group Effort

I cannot take sole responsibility for this next project. In fact, I can only take credit for the art direction and idea… the rest was my sister and my mom. I wanted to make something special for my friend Kelly’s birthday so I utilized the fact that I was going to spend this last Saturday [...]

Will’s quilt, pt. 1

After finishing the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt, I treated myself to a new project.  Now, this new project was one I had been looking forward to making for quite some time.  In fact, I used the promise of starting a new project as motivation for finishing the large previous project.

I washed up my fabric [...]

The journey of a quilt

One momentous thing happened during my blog sabbatical.  I finished the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt I’d been working on for such a long time.

Here are links to a couple of previous posts on this quilt:

Here’s a fun one for you:

My customer wanted a custom quilt to give to her brother and new sister-in-law as a wedding gift.  The family just loves their dogs and my customer wanted to include pictures of the dogs belonging to her, her brother and her sister-in-law.   She liked the look and style of [...]

Table runner updateTable runner update

Here’s an update on the blocks I posted last week.  I have half of the quilting done on this project.  I knew the cream fabric would be a great opportunity for fancy quilting – and lucky me – my customer gave me free reign!

I found this design in the book Infinite Feathers by Anita [...]
