I sewed together some long strips and then crosscut them to make strips. I had a large piece of backing fabric in light beiges so I used that as sashing. This is where I ran out of sashing fabric. I’ll put a border on using a different beige and then decide if I’m going to buy backing fabric or do some more piecing. The worst part is that the tub of scraps is still overflowing.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvaKZXLwndUVsyFRW5fcuHzP8kyaC7lUQ-hlD1ukpCGgN2QI4djzAqHhQh_Dziq9UGBfOK9Q81y0EiJk0_yG_fOiV_NjaAUDLEXpVqnrzn_Ri57fbzCXofVujAWJvIpThS4l_LohzJ-s66o_4wcZu3kpRYw7vkkjkQSRu340jELvKjol4=s2448" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="2256" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvaKZXLwndUVsyFRW5fcuHzP8kyaC7lUQ-hlD1ukpCGgN2QI4djzAqHhQh_Dziq9UGBfOK9Q81y0EiJk0_yG_fOiV_NjaAUDLEXpVqnrzn_Ri57fbzCXofVujAWJvIpThS4l_LohzJ-s66o_4wcZu3kpRYw7vkkjkQSRu340jELvKjol4=s320" width="295" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-59376911187327246632022-01-05T07:20:00.000-08:002022-01-05T07:20:06.524-08:00T-shirt Quilt<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My cousin’s husband, John, is an avid runner and cyclist.

The package only had the template for the larger blocks and I thought they made an interesting quilt. However, a few years later I found the small templates so I was able to make the quilt illustrated in the photo which was included with the large templates. This is my second attempt. I have been sewing the blocks into rows as I go because it’s very complicated and super easy to make mistakes. Yes there has been some ripping. I also sewed every two rows together so now I have to complete sewing the rows and then decide on a border or borders. I have spent the last hour dealing with the scraps on the table. Some are discarded because they are too small, some large ones are sorted into colour families and a few ended up in the big tub of little scraps. Between Covid and the cold weather here (wind chills of -44 for a couple of days) I’ve gotten a lot of sewing done.<p></p>Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-32119512186987670512022-01-01T14:06:00.002-08:002022-01-01T14:06:55.039-08:00I’m Back!<p> After many years of neglect, I have been re-visiting my blog and decided that the new year 2022 might be a good time to get back into it.

What with travel, company, Christmas and New Year celebrations I haven't spent much time in the studio in the last few months. I did find time to finish this one to the flimsy stage. Now I just have to find some backing and quilt it. I'll finish it with a black binding. It is pictured here on my queen sized bed. I had no idea it was going to turn out so huge. It may just be my new favorite quilt.<br />

I have been collecting black and white fabrics for awhile so I decided to put them to use. I am also using up a few bits of color from my scrap box. I saw this idea on Pinterest. I can't recall who posted it but I fell in love with it nstantly. I'll be making lots more blocks. Each one is about 6 inches square.Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-10658408526770284232013-05-25T03:56:00.001-07:002013-05-25T03:56:35.013-07:00Another One Done<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I pieced this one with Kaffee Fassett fabrics last year but didn't get it quilted because I wanted to use a wool batt. I finally got one last week and yesterday I put the final hand stitches on the binding. It has a wide black border all around which really sets off the wild colours in the KF fabrics. I love the wool batting. It's super light weight but warm.

I found the perfect coordinating fabric at The <a href="http://www.canadianquiltshop.com/" target="_blank">Kickass Country Store</a> in Plumas. It was made using the<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOS9KBDJgU" target="_blank"> Rapid Fire Hunter Star ruler</a> which is fantastic because it enables you to strip piece the blocks. It was easy to match the corners because of the strip piecing.

I have started a new I Spy crazy quilt. I went to<a href="http://www.canadianquiltshop.com/" target="_blank"> Kickass Country Store </a>in Plumas to look for novelty print fabrics. They sell I Spy kits of suitable fabrics that they have put together so I bought one of those plus a few more quarter yards of other cute fabrics. This weekend our local quilt show will he held and I'm sure there will be lots of vendors so I'll probably end up with more picture fabric. I'm thinking I'll have to do several more of these.<br />

Two of my granddaughters have been coming here to sew since they were small. Now they are 20 year old university students but they still manage to find time to come and sew occasionally. I must say that I think they are very talented.<br />

I was working on the brown and gold quilt yesterday when I realized that it was put together wrong. Rather than deciding to either finish it or fix it, I started a new random one, which is what I prefer anyway.<br />
This is another I Spy done with crazy blocks. I love this style. There can be no mistakes. And the blocks all turn out the exact size because I make them bigger and cut them to size. Plus I use up lots of scraps.<br />

This morning I woke up to more snow, unusual for the middle of April. When it hadn't slackened off by afternoon I decided to face the elements and go to the studio. The problem was, I had a path (very narrow) packed with my snowshoes, but it was completely hidden under a new layer of snow. I knew approximately where it was but every time I stepped off it, I was knee deep or more in wet snow. It took awhile but I finally made it and spent a couple of hours working on my latest quilt.<br />

I have to sew in two more white horizontal strips and then finish assembling it. The one in the magazine has a second border but I'm not sure I'll add that. It's already quite large, about 56x80. I also realized after it was mostly assembled that the magazine one has a white horizontal line between the large rectangle and the smaller square. Oh well, I never was very good at following instructions. That must be why I enjoy random piecing so much. When this one is done I'm thinking of starting another I Spy quilt which will be a relief after the precision (?) of this one.<br />

I have most of the pieces cut out and arranged. Since this photo I have sewn most of them together. If it wasn't such a chore to walk to the studio, I'd go out to take a new photo but since I'm going to an art/quilt show soon, I'll leave that for tomorrow.

I have been working on a secret quilt for the last few weeks so that is why I haven't been posting. I'll show that one once the recipient gets it.<br />
Now I have started a new one from a magazine. I don't usually do this kind of quilt but was feeling stagnant and thought this might be a good way to get kick started again. It seems to be working. I used different colours from the magazine and the biggest challenge is assembling it, trying to remember which colour in the picture is which colour in my quilt. In the end I'll just go by how it looks on the design wall.Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-265458284738497532013-03-20T17:02:00.000-07:002013-03-20T17:05:00.160-07:00So This is Spring?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have done more blocks for the kids' crazy quilt. I am using up lots of scraps but there seems to be a lot left in the boxes. There is a picture in the middle of each crazy block.

I bought a new Kindle yesterday because I broke the screen on my old one while I was in Australia. Hint: don't just toss it onto the bed and forget it's there. You might lean your elbow on it. Not good.<br />
Anyway, I bought a Kindle Paperwhite which is a bit smaller than the original one I broke. This one has a touch screen so there is no keyboard at the bottom. The screen is the same size though so that's good. It also has a light built into the screen, also a plus. The best part about it is that it's very light and small enough to fit into almost any purse. Since it's smaller than my old one, I had to make a new case for it. I love this fabric but didn't have much of it so what better use than for something that I use regularly and can enjoy looking at often. This is the sixth case I've made so it didn't take me long this time.<br />

I made these blocks when I finally got back into the studio. Each crazy block has a picture in the center. I have a lot of fabrics with animals so I thought it might be fun to use some of them this way. Stay tuned for lots more. I also see that I'll have to move the bottom row around a bit. There is a long brown strip that I don't like...<br />

On Sunday I arrived home after three months of basking in the sunshine (and rain) in Australia, to be met with a blizzard. We had record snowfall and I literally had to wear snowshoes to get to the studio. The snow was nearly waist deep in places and never less than knee deep. Luckily, the temperature is moderate and it's not windy. Obviously, I'm not going anywhere until the roads get cleared.<br />

I did spend some time in the studio today but I forgot to bring the camera and there was no way I was going to trudge back through all that snow to get it so there will be no quilting pictures until next time.Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-66359205822120053732012-12-01T13:47:00.002-08:002012-12-01T13:47:23.398-08:00Final Finish<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finished the last grandchild quilt yesterday morning. Now I can leave for Australia on Wednesday with a clear conscience.

I finished sewing the binding down on this one yesterday. Now I have one twin quilt to finish before I leave for Australia next week. I have one side almost done so I'm hopeful...Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com1
