Saturday I took a FMQ feathers class at Acorn Quilts. I sat down and pulled out some pretty thread yesterday to give it another go and it was much better than my first attempt. I’m going to be practicing feathers all this week and working on getting a circular sampler done to feather quilt. [...] Bonding with my new Faygo Kitty machine meant I was able to work on more blocks of my Farmer’s Wife project. Four new blocks have been added to the tally.
This block below is block 36 – Garden Path. Well it’s the Garden Path [...] So if you’re keeping count this is really the 4th, but I hot handed off that Viking to get the Horizon and never looked back. It wasn’t a bad little machine, but we just didn’t bond. I sat down and sewed on Faygo Kitty Machine… which my Mother has insisted we call them… these may [...] Well that went fast. Once I got in the groove and wasn’t afraid to cut the wool…it went pretty quick. Time to cut the vines and staple all the pieces to the fabric. So I seriously admired this wool applique quilt at the quilt shop – called Mary Ellen’s Garden by Lori Smith.

This time around I worked on my Circle of Friends Quilt which was a $5 club. You only pay the $5 once. You get a free fat [...] Let’s hope it’s a good one… I decided I only have one goal this year. Yes, while I have a zillion things on the to-do list and many more waiting in the wings, the only thing that is an absolute must do in 2012 is to finish the Famer’s Wife top. I’m determined to get [...] So last day of the year… just a small wrap up, as I’ve been busy as ever working on projects and trying to check things off the list. I finished two bags for friends for Christmas prezzies. Here’s the insides… one in beige and one in gray. I also managed to finished the [...] I’m off this week and working on one project after another. Love it! I found this great stand up bag pattern at the LQS and this beautiful crane fabric that I fussy cut to get the scene and decided to give it a go. They walked me through the pattern and each side it’s [...] So I finished the 10 quilt. A great pattern for 10 fat quarters and a bit more, but the really fun part was that I got to take a Long Arm quilting class. After the class we booked rental time on the machine and I quilted this quilt. I quilted it with a [...] |
