QuiltsBy.me

I had a quilt kit for a large ruby red quilt that I finished off. When I was done, I had a lot of fabric scraps leftover. I wanted to keep the scraps together, at least for one more quilt. I took some foundation paper squares I had left from a different project and randomly placed fabric on them. I put a strip of black down the long side of the triangle and paired them up. I then sashed each square and put it within a border. Even the backing fabric for this quilt is left over from the original! It's a throw size, but looks pretty good.

Blue Star Centerpiece for table

I used some scrap pieces for this piece. I paper pieced the diamond strips. Then sewed the strips together. I think it took me over 20 hours to make this small lone star centerpiece. These colors were chosen of the dishes my mother in law had. She finally broke down and started to use it after I fussed at her for not. So there are some stains on it. The calico print is my favorite one of all calicos.

Cactus Star Table Runner

I started this in a class by Barbara Cline (the designer) in November 2016. It was intended to be somewhat Christmas-y. After I finished the top, I let it languish in the UFO pile for a year and a half before bringing it out and quilting it on my home machine. The colors look much more vibrant in person.

Bee Project Iii

This is my first English Paper Piecing. I did a little fussy cutting too. I must say this type of piecing could be very addictive.

Cherries to come

My first EPP-hexies, had quite some inner resistance to overcome how I would apply the hexies panel. So this is the first mitered corner in the background fabric. To be used as a small table topper, far away from likelihood of staining coffee or other liquids.:o) No batting, no quilting, just appliquéd to the background (mitered rectangle).

Snowflake Wallhanging/Tablerunner

This is a Judy Neimeyer Paperpieced Pattern. I took a class to make this. The pattern was quite challenging, and I never could have done it without the class. Each spoke on the snowflake has 18 pieces X 8 spokes equals 144 pieces in each flake! Quite a challenge, but lots of fun to watch it all come together.

Tonga Treats Sunburst Table Runner

I took a table runner class at my Local Sewing machine shop. I made a herringbone table runner using triangles on a roll to paper piece it. Couple of pointers -- invest in a 1/4" foot (You'll be glad you did) and a small stitch length (1MM - 1.6MM) perforates the paper more and makes tearing it off at the end so much easier (of course the downside is that it is so hard to rip out a seam!) I started with 1MM and after having to rip out a seam, switched to 1.6MM. It did make the paper a little harder to remove.

Christmas table toppers

I love the periwinkle template! I made 3 4th of July small toppers for my sister, and thought why not for Christmas. I just bought some precuts in Christmas fabric, and couldn't wait to try something. So, I made the star pattern, and the bordered periwinkle pattern.
