Finally Finished

I started this mini quilt over the summer (apparently without a blog post)… finished the top in August…  mentioned it again in September… and that was as far as I got.   Armed with an (early) New Year’s resolution to sew more for myself and less out of obligation, I got back to it and finished [...]

Off the shelves

I made this quilt months ago, then liked it so much I couldn’t decide whether to put it in the shop, so it sat on a shelf in my studio, which is no place for a quilt. I finally came back to it, and listed it. (Though, if it didn’t sell, I wouldn’t be too [...]

Half Square Triangle Variations

I do love the versatility of half-square triangles… Same colors, same blocks, three different arrangements. (These aqua items are all in my shop) And look at the pretty colors I get to work with next: I’m making a custom HST quilt for someone and she picked these beautiful, warm colors.

Tangent

I had two (and a half) projects in the works: one quilt that just needs a binding, one on the design wall (and the scraps from that quilt half-pieced into a matching pillow) So, what project to work on? A totally unrelated pillow, of course. But, I do like these Watercolors blocks. This one’s in [...]
