Just wanted to update before the big holiday weekend engulfs me completely. Too much to do and not enough time to get it done in! Finally managed to finish the applique border on my Improv. Woven Basket. It finishes out at approx. 73″ square, so I thin…
May AHIQ Update
Finally Some Improv. Progress
It’s improv. time of the month again! I have three projects in the works, one of which I showed progress on the other day. It’s down to the applique border work for my Improv. Big Basket quilt {made out of strings} and the quilt top probably …
AHIQ Start and 17 in 2017 Progress!
It never seems like there’s proper time to get a post written these days. Guess I’m spending too much time playing ‘Words With Friends’ with the family, catching up on my reading, or getting pulled away from what I’m doing by my husbands requests to ac…
An August Bit of Play With Adhoc. Improv.
I often feel like I’m flittering and fluttering from project to project, much like a butterfly, never sticking for the long haul. Then, slowly but surely I begin to see things start pulling together and wowsers! Why should I do things any different whe…
More Scrappy Strings
Finishing up my String Play quilt made me realize once again how much I love a good scrappy quilt. Not just a quilt with a hundred pieces of fabric. No. I’m talking about something made from the overflowing scrap bin over in the corner of the…
A Weekend of Applique
Two more blocks finished up for my solids challenge quilt. The goal is to finish one a month and though I was behind with the March block, I quickly made up for that by finishing it and the April block over the weekend. Woohoo! I had to add a tiny bit …
String Play a Reminder to Keep Playing With the Scraps!
Picture heavy post! String Play is a completed quilt now. This is a quilt made almost entirely from my scrap bin. Before quilting her {I want to call the quilt a ‘her’ for some reason}, I would have said she wasn’t one of my favorites. Now I’m complete…
What Imrov. is Teaching Me
So here it is time for the AHIQ March link up and I’m sort of betwixt and between. There’s definitely been progress made on one of my previous improv. projects, but it’s improv. of a different nature. After adding on a narrow red border, I we…
Another Play With Improv.
I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I’ve got to say it again. I’m simply terrible at keeping up with BOM’s, Linky Party’s and QAL’s. Please don’t take offense if you have one I keep skipping. And what beautiful irony that I have my own monthly linky p…
Old Fashioned Strings in Fall 2015 Blogger’s Quilt Festival
Old Fashioned Strings is my second entry into the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. This is a scrappy little quilt made directly out of my scrap bin so it seemed fitting to enter it into the Scrappy Quilts Category!Old Fashioned StringsIt was great f…
Always, Always Another Quilt in the Hoop
Sometimes it’s hard to ‘see’ how the stitching is going to look in terms of a fully stitched quilt. Everything is right there inside the hoop and there’s no real sense of texture. Once again I settled with lighter colored thread as all the darker color…
