I used a combination of Bar Harbor, American Primer, and Prairie and Paisley. You'll love making "Tagalong" this month...and...I also know you'll love the "Roundabout" quilts in today's parade!

National Quilting Day
My Hope Valley quilt is quilted, bound, and washed. Try as I might I could not get my camera to capture the depth of these colors. I'm completely drawn to these fabrics...must be those 60's and 70's memories...and yet these fabrics are fresh and modern as well.I'm really not supposed to be working
Makes Me Happy Monday
I love the "Makes Me Happy Monday" posts by Paula...and thought today I'd share some things that make me happy. First, the new issue of Cotton Time...can't wait to get some time to savor this magazine of inspiration! It's always a good day when the FatQuarterShop Designer Mystery Block of the Month

Miscellaneous…
I probably use the word "miscellaneous" a little too often. But I honestly couldn't think of any other post title that fit my thoughts today any better. The fabric above is fabric I heart...Japanese fat quarters that I received from Kerri. I love them all, but the Matryoshka dolls have to be my
Favorite. Baskets. Ever.
I've been wanting to make this basket quilt from the moment I saw issue 14 of Fresh Vintage. This morning I was just going to make one...and then move on to another project. But I couldn't stop at one. I absolutely love this block with these fabrics.I'm using Fig Tree scraps in this quilt--just as

Roundabout!
Hello March--although I absolutely cannot believe it's March already! Our Schnibble this month will be "Roundabout." I really loved this pattern (as I love all Schnibbles)...and had fun using Aster Manor by 3 Sisters for Moda. We have a wonderful "Sunday Best" parade today--two, actually! The rest
Fresh and Fancy Table Runner!
I've been making Bonnie's Fresh and Fancy table runner patterns this year. I love them all, but really was drawn to the February pattern. I wanted to use the perfect fabric. I also wanted to try to use fabric from my stash and finally decided on some of my Lecien that I'm hoarding saving! Both red

I loved every minute of the snow...it
Polka Dots!
These new Michael Miller polka dots are wonderful (you can find them at FatQuarterShop)!Surprisingly, the grey might be my favorite--I keep thinking it would make a wonderful background fabric! Just a couple of weeks ago I won a "Dreaming of Summer" giveaway from Candace of Squash House
I ♥ Fabric
I've been playing with some fun fabrics this past week. I've cut all the borders for my three Verna quilts and even started two new Verna projects. Also, I finally got my Meadowsweet quilt cut out...can't wait to start sewing it. These fun strips were left over...perfect for my string challenge
Thursday Things…
I received one of my quilts in the mail this week and have just finished binding it! Here is the "All Dressed Up" quilt (pattern by Nanette). This quilt is so bright and cheery with its combination of new reproductions from my stash and vintage fabrics from Nanette. Now I get to have some fun
How About a Giveaway?!
Isn't this a great bag? I fell in love with it right away! It's a brand new pattern...not even released yet...and is called "The Tiny Clutch." Tiffany from Tiny Seamstress Designs has made this clutch, and one reader of my blog can receive it! Tiffany is heading to market for the first time this
February Plans
We're having a wonderful rain today--perfect weather for sorting through the sewing room and setting my February sewing goals. (Because of the clouds my pictures aren't as bright as I'd like--these fabrics are so much more gorgeous in person).I've finished piecing the top for my Verna version of
Wordless Wednesday
Another little quilt…and Winners!
I have to share one of my favorite little quilts made with the wonderful Fig Tree line, Patisserie. No, it's not a "Schnibble," but it is from a pattern by Carrie called"Opening Day." I had to make this miniature version last spring (actually this option is shown on the back cover of the pattern). I
Schnibbles Day!
It's February first (can you believe it?)...and here is the February Schnibble--"Sunday Best!"I made mine out of Verna (by Kate Spain for Moda) and absolutely love it! You might notice I made a scrappy binding...the yardage is available now but wasn't when I was finishing my quilt...but I kind of

More pinwheels...(Fabric Verna by Kate Spain...pattern "Jelly & Jam" by Joanna Figueroa). Borders on my Hope Valley quilt...(Fabric by Denyse Schmidt, pattern "Off Kilter" by Heather Mulder Peterson). Had to share a close-up of the corner fabric...I'd originally intended this fabric for the four
What I’m Working on Wednesday
I've been enjoying the rain...yay!!! After such a long dry spell here we are being blessed with rain, and more is on the way. I've been sewing and took advantage of some sun this morning to take a few pictures. I'm working on my A La Mode (pattern by Camille) pinwheel stars...love this pattern!
Piece O’ Cake
I just attended a wonderful lecture and trunk show at Quiltique given by Becky Goldsmith of Piece O' Cake Designs. I have several Piece O' Cake books and have been working on applique' over the past year so that I'll be able to start one of their projects soon. I took lots of pictures and several
Hope Valley Quilt
Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt for Free Spirit...I fell in love with this fabric after reading this preview...At first I was only going to pick up a few fat quarters. They were amazing, so I got a few more. After that I ordered the rest. And then I started trying to figure out what to make first.
Happy
Pinwheels make me happy... all 42 pinwheels for "a la mode" by Camille are now complete. This involved making 168 half-square triangles. I recently had a couple of questions about half square triangles so thought I would answer them here. I love the "quick quarter" tool which comes in two sizes. I

Quilter’s Journal 2009
I've loved reading the wonderful end of the year/beginning of the year posts that have been showing up in recent days. It's been fun to see a re-cap of projects and ideas that have inspired me throughout the year. Keeping a journal of my projects was my primary purpose in creating this blog, so I

Tradition
A few of our Christmas traditions always seem to fall into place...like me sewing on Christmas Eve to finish last minute gifts (here is the link to the redwork for the snowman)... And then...I always start a fun, new project. This years project was a super fun pattern--Piece of Cake by Camille. I
Still Busy Sewing…
I've been busy sewing...but as soon as I think I'm catching up...I think of more things I need to do. I'm starting to feel like whatever I finish...I finish...and that will have to be good enough. I did applique' my two Dresdens and even added borders to make two pillows. I'm hoping to keep one and

Dresden Dilemma
I thought it would be fun to make some Dresdens with some of my Christmas stash fabrics. At first I was going to make the Dresden Plate Table Runner by Kim over at the Moda Bake Shop. So, I used 3 3/4" dresdens with a three-inch center just as her pattern calls for. But then I saw this really cute
Been Binding!
I have so many projects to finish before Christmas...but it's just been so cozy to sit and bind quilts in the evenings now that cooler weather has arrived. I've finished the binding (all red bindings) on these three quilts since Friday. I know I've shared my Cameos quilts before...but they weren't
