Design Wall Monday: Chains of Love

-

 


Well, this is on my design wall today.  I hope when it's finished that it will look something like this ...



or this ...


I love this pattern.  It is Chains of Love, a free pattern from Jedi Craft Girl.  It's fairly quick and easy and uses only 5 fat quarters and background yardage.  

I'm making mine in reds and pinks for Valentine's Day, but I've seen this made in other colors.  I think it'd make a great baby quilt, maybe in purple or blue.

I don't think I'll have it finished by Valentine's Day on Sunday but February is also Heart Disease Awareness month so I'm okay with getting it finished before the end of the month.

    Hello! Do you still blog about your ebay buys/sells? I thought I remembered reading your blog about ebay in the past but I can't find it.

      Thanks for asking but I don't blog about reselling on eBay anymore. I still have my eBay store but I'm not as active as I used to be. So much has changed and I think Instagram and YouTube is the place to go for selling advice.

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes so long as the squares are equal-size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) s

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actually a curtain made

Weekly Finish...Or Not: Shoo Fly & Vintage Inspired Churn Dash Tops

-
Image
This Shoo Fly top is a re-do of the very first quilt I made on my own way back in 1999. This is my darling granddaughter who decided the quilt was hers.  She was only 3 years old at the time.  The quilt is long gone as it was very much loved. This is the magazine pattern I used to make both quilts.  I wanted to use a similar floral print with white daisies and red background as my original but couldn't find anything I liked.  I'm happy with my re-creation and I think I'll give it to her for her birthday. I don't know what possessed me to recreate an old damaged quilt top I found in the wild.  Maybe I was influenced by other quilters who have been inspired by vintage quilts and have created beautiful quilts from them. This is the original top I found a few years ago, probably in the clearance bins at the thrift store.  I'm sure I only paid a couple of dollars because it was badly damaged.  There are burned edges are the big hole.  I knew if I didn't save it that
