WIP Wednesday October 29
I went to five wonderful longarm classes at the AQS Show in Charlotte this past summer. I have done a little practice of what I learned on the muslin pieces provided to us, but up to now I haven't had a suitable quilt top to play with. At the last meeting of the quilt club, …
October Block of the Month
Continuing our batiks exploration with another block. The local quilt store is picking the fabrics and patterns. This month the pattern is Wyoming Valley, available on Quilt Blocks Galore. The shop has chosen a dark purple with a red-orange accent. The same grey background was given to us too. As usual, I don't like the …

Sudoku Quilt Tutorial
This is such an easy quilt to make, but it does take some planning and a lot of care in assembly. Sudoku is a type of puzzle where there are nine nine-patches, and each number or fabric appears only once in a nine-patch, and only once in any row or column across three nine-patches. If …

Block of the Month September 2014
This month the LQS picked Wild Waves from Quilter's Cache. This is a pretty simple block as all of the parts can be chain-stitched each step of the way. The colors chosen by the quilt shop are a really pretty blue/green variable, a darker blue watermark, and the standard grey that has been the background …
Autumn Anita’s Arrowhead
The Anita's Arrowhead block pattern is still available on their website. I quilted some of these quilts for a local hospice some months ago. I wanted to do a few small autumn projects, and this deceptively simple block was a perfect choice. I'll let you download the pattern from the source, but here are a …
State Fair Ribbons 2014
This has been a very busy time between volunteering for the Friends of the Library book sale and helping with setting up the quilt competition at the State Fair. The Fair opened on Friday and we were able to go that afternoon. It was a great time to go because the crowds were smaller and …
Fall Door Panel and fabric sale
I love autumn, and generally cannot resist autumn themed fabrics or things like this door panel with fall decorations of leaves and pumpkins. I had to have this panel, but to get it I had to buy the whole bolt of door panels and I don't need this many! I have them for sale at …
