Willy gave his grudging approval to this little finish. 😁
I am quite chuffed with it myself!
It’s been a while since I’ve done quilting like this. The feathers go fast, the continuous curves? Not so much.
I might want to do this one again in a bigger size.
Have a great day!
Since I’m busy at the AQS show this week, I’m sharing this post from five years ago today. I posted this for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Enjoy!
Once again, Amy from Amy’s Creative Side is hosting the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. If you are here visiting from her page, welcome! I hope you will take a look around while you are here.
Regular readers may remember this quilt that I finished earlier this year for my niece’s wedding gift. It is one of my favorite quilts ever so I decided to share it for BQF.
I kept the piecing simple because this quilt was all about the quilting for me.
I love this backing fabric by Tim Holtz.
I loved quilting all those feathers!
Have a wonderful day!
Making these star blocks is quite addicting!
I’m only working with the scraps I had cut. It is fun coming up with combinations and substitutions when needed.
Some of these don’t even resemble stars anymore!
Have a great day!
Remember this? I finally pieced all the rows.
I was thinking about adding long strips of this for sashing, but I might be changing my mind again. I could use this for an outer border.
I have a few blocks leftover.
I guess I’ll be thinking about it this week.
Taryn at Repro Quilt Lover, has started a casual stitch along. I resisted initially, but eventually succumbed and joined in.
Of course, I’m not quite following the rules. I had a bin of fabrics from my Amelia Brown Rooster Medallion that I had never put away. So I decided to make all my blocks from that bin.
I spent some time cutting pieces to get started. My blocks will finish at 6”.
I am clearly winging it here! I don’t even know how many blocks to make. But it’s fun!
Have a great day!
Make that vvvvveeeerrrrryyyyy slow stitching. The boys head home today and if I have any energy at all, I’ll finish the binding on this little bit.
Perhaps after a nap, I’ll add a few pieces here as well.
Have a great day!
Headed toward the finish line!
I saw this photo on an advertisement. It has great quilt potential!
Remember these? I found them while cleaning a closet.
This is why I need to get up before anyone else in the house.
The three Es have been here since Wednesday and will be here until tomorrow. I love having them here! But Monday I will have silence with my coffee and it won’t be at 4 AM 🤣
Have a great day!
I think nearly everyone is familiar with Van Gogh’s painting, The Starry Night.
Well, I’ve recently finished my overly simplified, pixelated version.
I freehanded the quilting to add swirls.
I had found this free beading pattern online and used that as my design.
It isn’t my most successful quilt, but it was fun!
Before I go, I had to let you in on this deal from AccuQuilt .
My AccuQuilt studio cutter is still my favorite!
Have a great day!

The big AQS show is coming up next week!
I’m so excited! AccuQuilt is sponsoring the lounge area where you can go take a rest, get a drink, and charge your phone. And that is where you can find me! They will also have sewing machines, AccuQuilt die cutters and dies on hand so you can sew a block for charity. I’ll be helping out there, so please stop by and say hello!
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a big show and I’m so looking forward to it. I’m very interested to see the Cherrywood Challenge exhibition.
I’ll be there Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I’ll mostly be working in the lounge as I mentioned, but I’ll still get a chance to see the show. I hope to see you there!
Have a great day!
I finished the August column for my Temperature quilt last weekend.
Here are the first eight months of the year. I love how this is turning out!
But you do have to keep people from talking to you when sorting your bits…… Let’s just say I had to run through the August colors about six times. Now everything is packed up and put away until September is over.
Have a great day!
