Binding Choice
I usually pick out the binding fabrics after I’ve done the quilting. Sometimes I use the leftovers from the backing. More often I find something in my stash that compliments the front. Scrappy bindings are good because I don’t need to use 3/4 of a yard. For the tulip applique quilt, the pink and red […]
Making a List
Here we are at Tuesday again! I worked on my tulip applique quilt project some more. I know what I want to do for the white panels, so next to decide if I do the green panels next or save them for last. I marked the lines with my curved ruler and then used the […]
Sewing Magic
Actually, I’d rather have housework magic, like the broom in Fantasia. But I did manage to get the fourth corner quilted on my tulip applique quilt. The feathers have flattened it out which is why I plan to do something looser on the rest of the border. Trust me, the quilting will look better than […]
Third corner
I know it doesn’t look that much different,but this is the third corner of ny tulip applique quilt which means just one more. I don’t want to overquilt this, so the rest of the border will get a loopy flower meander. I think that will make the feathers more interesting than doing the whole border. […]
Change of Pace
Hello! I’m going to try to post every day this week to share what I’m working on. Yesterday I started the quilting on my niece’s Tulip Applique quilt. The top had been made by someone else, and I’m not too confident in some of the stitching, so I plan to quilt fairly densely. I started […]
My Q4 Goals list
The Finish A Long is still on hiatus, but looking forward to a New Year’s Eve sew-in ( now that’s my kind of party) and picking things back up for 2021. (visit them on Instagram @finishalong) I finished exactly zero of my goals for the quarter. I did start some new socks in May so […]
A Q3 Goals list
I had two finishes for Q2, but you’ll have to wait for TGIFF next week (July 24) to see the bigger one. I’ll give you a hint – it’s a quilt 🙂 My other finish was this Side Hustle laptop bag from the Bag of the Month Club. I did previously share this on Instagram. […]
Small but Satisfying (TGIFF)
Welcome to Port Hope Ontario today for Thank Goodness it’s Finished Friday. It’s also Good Friday, a day of reflection. It’s a day to be thankful for family, friends, clean drinking water, and safety. The streets are quiet, with many walkers enjoying the spring sunshine. The upheaval of schedules due to Covid 19 has given […]
A Beachy Bag Finish-a-Long
With millions of people around the world hunkered down in social distancing, I expect this will be a fantastic quarter for finishes in the Finish-a-Long. My week at work was crazy busy getting people started on assignments from their homes and trying to come up with some kind of schedule for myself. In between all […]
One monthly goal for February
I have been sewing a lot, but I feel I need to knuckle down on some UFO’s, so I’m going to try joining up with One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts. My sister and her husband are coming up on their 25th wedding anniversary so I need to finish up the quilt I have […]
