ACK! She Can't Be That Old! :(

My Glorious Granddaughter is graduating from High School this spring. When I asked her if she would like a quilt she said yes! Could it be a throw size in mint and greys? Okkkaay...she sent me to Hobby Lobby to look at the mint dish rags. Which I carried over to the fabric department to see what I could find. WOW! Didn't realize it is the color this year. Found some beautiful fabrics to use in a star pattern I had found sometime ago. I made up several different blocks using the colors and texted them to her. She picked her favorite arrangement and I got started. Yikes, a lot of HST. Friend said to do at the least part of it as flying geese and here is how you do them 4 at once. That was a great time saver. Once together I laid out several choices on borders and texted her again. Going with what turned out to be both of our favorite layout! I used a large flower meander and leave things. (Technical term) The binding is with the same fabric as the outside border; I really like the look of an infinity edge on quilts that I want your eye to go to the center, not the edge.

Small Transformations

My stack of orphan blocks from past quilt projects found a new home recently. For a quick satisfactory sewing diversion between larger quilting projects, I made various sizes of fabric pouches to whittle down these orphan blocks and coordinating leftover fabrics. I used bag patterns from MellySews and Minki Kim's DIY cosmetic zippered bag from sewingillustrations.com I added a couple of zipper pulls which I had bought at a gift shop. It was also a good opportunity to try out different presser feet and decorative stitches on my sewing machine. These sweet bags could be filled with cosmetics or anything to-go as well as make great gifts.

I Walked the Line No. 1 of 52

This new year, 2021, I have challenged myself to learn more walking-foot quilting. My challenge is to create 52 mini quilts, no bigger than 12" x 12", with each one quilted with a different walking-foot design. My goal is to create one mini quilt per week plus keeping a weekly "blog" (journal) of my quilts in a 12" x 12" binder. Some of the mini quilts I will probably give away, others I will keep. My final goal is that by the time I reach the end of the year I will have designed and quilted several mini whole-cloth quilts

Sashiko Tote Bag

I designed and made this tote bag as an Xmas gift for a frind of mine who lives in CA. This was my first attempt at machine sashiko stitching. The tote bag was stitched on my regular sewing machine, (I don't have one of those sashiko sewing machines!) and was fun to make once I figured out which thread and stitch length to use. I designed the bag to be simple yet complementary of the sashiko stitching. The bag measures 12"H x 12.5"W with 8" drop handles (to top edge).

Day and Night in a Stitcher's Garden

I was inspired to sew and quilt Stitchers Garden to learn how to use the functions of my sewing machine. My local sewing shop displayed a beautiful sample of one as well as offered it as a BOM class. It proved to be a worthwhile challenge to undertake and complete. I used the fabric line Moon Shadow by Michele D'Amore for Benatex as the backing and in several pieces of the blocks in the top. Then I quilted on my domestic machine using free motion and ruler work.

Santa’s Letter Ornament

I started a tradition on Christmas Eve 2019. Everyone in my family found Santa’s Letter on the tree. The letter actually is an envelope that Santa can drop a note, money, or candy in. I don’t have grandchildren yet but this was fun anyways.
