My week is starting off with a couple of finishes. My new quilt made with Pat Sloan's fabrics (mostly Hometown Girl) was finished just in time to hang on my front door to celebrate the 4th of July . I've been wanting to make a flag quilt using aqua (love this combination) but saw a heart block made with strips so I combined the two ideas and came up with this. This quilt measures 24" squares and was quick and easy to made. The heart block measures 16" finished. And another happy finish, all…

Have you conquered the Y-seam yet? :) I don't know about those of you who have been sewing along, but I thoroughly enjoyed making the Large Hexagon One blocks last month! The opportunity to fussy cut in these was so fun that I got carried away and made an extra block! One of my goals was to mix and match from my stash and all of my favorite designers and make every block one that I love. I was pretty pleased that I was able to get Tula Pink, Bonnie & Camille, Kate Spain, and Katy Jones to…

Every time I make a new hexie it becomes my new favourite. I am just loving every single stitch that is going into this quilt. One of the questions I have been asked a lot is "What does the back look like". There have been many questions about my seam allowance, glue basting versus thread basting and lots more. Here is a pic of the back of one of my Hexes. I find the 1/4 in seam allowance on the templates that I have been cutting is plenty for my paper piecing. I am glue basting and if you…

When I went to Fall Quilt Market back in October, one of the quilts that I was most excited about was the Smitten Quilt by Lucy Kingwell for Jen Kingwell Designs. Lucy is Jen's daughter and the talent for beautifully hand-pieced and quilted scrappy quilts run in the family! The Smitten quilt is 48" x 61" but you can make it larger if you want my adding additional blocks. The quilt looks really complicated, but like any big project, you should "eat the elephant one bite at a time" so to…

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but Smitten the Quilt is delightful! (I'm pretty sure my hubby wasn't humming this when he was holding the quilt up for me to take the photo but maybe was thinking it would have been nice if I had finished this last week when there wasn't any snow on the ground and the temperature was a tad bit warmer.) Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall or just one month shy of one year is how long it took for me to make my Smitten Quilt. It had all of the makings to be a…
