Today I'll show the finishing of the miniature fans quilt. When I left off, the little top was fully assembled, pieced with 50 wt Aurifil thread. Now, how to quilt it was the question. This is the time when many of us just stop and stare, or put it away for later, creating stacks of …

Assembling the Miniature Quilt
I finished the tiny cornerstones on my last post on this quilt, and now was ready to assemble the blocks into the little top. This is an exercise in patience, as these little blocks have to be precisely pinned. It is tedious work and took an entire day to get the assembly completed. First, I …

Christmas in July
Can you believe that July is almost over? This summer is going by in a flash! As of today, we have five months and two days to Christmas, so we might want to get to some projects now to finish with time to relax and enjoy the holiday season. With that in mind, I have …
Reworking the Dahlia Quilt
I did the restitching of the mistakes in the Dahlia quilt. I appreciate that many readers said don't worry about it, but my eyes went right to it every time. On the photo below, it sticks out to me, and I am sure would stick out to a judge as well. It may not win …

Progress was made on the miniature quilt this past week. The paper piecing is going well. I had a few comments about working with tiny bits, and I do hear you! I usually use larger pieces than are needed, then cut off the excess as I go. It does result in a bit more waste, …
Sunday Chat

Beginning the Miniature Fan Quilt
So I have a bee in my bonnet to make another tiny quilt. I gave a preview of the book I'll be using on a previous post, and this past weekend, I got started. I'll admit it took a few days of stand and stare to decide on a colorway. Originally I was thinking about …
Pin Woven Tote
Last post, I did the tutorial on how to Pin Weave fabric strips with cording. Today, we'll use those to make the bag. I'll give you the entire supply list today too. Before we get started, a couple of commenters on the last post worried about the cording being loose, and possibly catching on things. …
Sunday Stitching, Making Plans, and More Wildlife
Over the past few weeks, I've finished up all the Zoom contracts that I had for my Scrap Dancing program. On the last two, I mentioned that I would be doing a tutorial on Pin Weaving. I thought I could just link the Moda Bake Shop post, but their website update appears to have dropped …
