This fabric line spoke to me as I AM a farmer’s daughter and he passed in June of 2017. It seemed like a tribute to him and the way he raised me. It is also my first finished Free Motion Quilting project.

Quick Curve Mini Runner

I made this table runner using the Quick Curve Mini Ruler and free pattern that came with it. I just used some solid fabrics and white that I had in my stash. I free motion quilted it on my domestic machine. It was so much fun to make. I was terrified of piecing curves, but this ruler made it so easy. The quick curve ruler is made by Sew Kind of Wonderful.

Pecking Order

Super cute, quick and easy quilt ... after making the courthouse steps, I just needed an easy one ... and it was easy ... but the quilt wall was a must on this one ... or a lot of floor space. ... I got it done though ... and the top stitching is super cute

Birthday

23 years ago my son was born on October 10th which was also my neighbors birthday. This evening I walked across the street to visit and give a small homemade gift to this sweet neighbor. Yes, she will be 90 years old. Wow.

Special Gift for a Special Lady - Vanity Purses

Having someone you trust look after you home and pets whilst you go on holiday is something very special. I really wanted to give my friend (house sitter) something that she could keep for many years for the wonderful job she did for us. So, I got busy making her a vanity purse and filled it with all sorts of body products. Even made her some lavender sachets using beautiful lavender from my garden. She was super delighted with her gift. And we were most grateful to her for the wonderful job she did.

Peggy's Quilt #24 - Grand Adventure

This is my 24th quilt. The pattern is by Jenny Doan in Block Magazine, Vol. 4, Issue 5 (2017), Pages 16-23, plus there is an online tutorial. Linda, a friend of ours, decided to make this as her very first quilt, and asked for help with it. She tried cutting and sewing the blocks, but it wasn't working for her... We ordered more fabric, and I ended up sewing the majority of it, and really enjoyed the process. We used the RJR Wildwood Way fabric collection, with Kona Cotton White for the background. The backside is Kona Cotton Aqua, and the batting is Hobbs Tuscany Silk. Linda started the quilt in May 2018, and not too long after, I took over and finished the frontside piecing in June 2018. We sent it off for long-arm quilting on July 28th, and it came back only 5+ weeks later on September 8th! It took a couple of days for me to sew the binding onto this gigantic 93"x96" quilt. I made two white-with-aqua-cuff pillowcases and two aqua-with-white-cuff pillowcases to match, and later will make a throw pillow with left-over blocks. Linda loves her quilt and reports back that sleeping under a quilt with a silk batt is 'fabulous'. Posted by Peggy at Bothtwins 09/12/18

Hunter's Star

Pattern #PAT1207 from MSQC. Jenny did a tutorial on it. My 6th quilt, made during April -Sept 2016. Entire quilt is Cotton + Steel Basics Collection, the main colors, the background and backing fabric. Finished size, 87" x 88", a little bigger than the pattern. Quilter's Dream wool batt. Free-motion quilting by Camlyn Quilts in an edge-to-edge pattern called Slinky. It shows best on the backside. I made 4 pillowcases to match. I fell hard for the Basics Collection and thought it would be great for Hunter's Star. I started with charm packs, pulled out colors I didn't want and then filled in with yardage to make it more my colors. After all the squares were done, I layed them out on the carpet, rearranging until I was satified. I took black and white photos to check the light vs dark clusters. I put on a tiny 1" border, as I really love an edge-to-edge full pattern look. Lesson learned: fabric with a huge metalic component is way heavier than regular quilting fabric, and 9 yards of it for backing adds a lot of weight to the quilt. It was on sale for $6/yard though, so...cool! I do love a sale on yards and yards of backing fabric. posted 09-22-18

Purple and hummingbirds

My sister loves purple and hummingbirds. I asked what she wanted and she said 100x100 so it would hang over and they wouldn't have to fight for covers. LOL I used my embroidery module for the hummingbirds and experimented with different blocks for the rest. Being my sister and getting a free quilt, I get to try things and they love it anyway. I love the colors and blocks, but not necessarily all together. But it was for learning, so I think it's okay and it does keep them warm at night!

Crazy nines

I saw Jenny's tute on the crazy nine patch and new I wanted to make one. I have had these charm packs for over a year wondering what to make with them.
