Archive for the ‘quilt squares’ Category

I’ve jumped on the bandwagon with this quilt, thanks to a tutorial by blue elephant stitches.  It’s granny squares and I”m going scrappy!  I intended to have this particular quilt {in another design} entered into Rachel of Stitched in Color’s Scrap Attack and admittingly, I didn’t finish in time.  Honestly, I didn’t even start it [...]

In spending quite some time pondering ideas for a new quilt for our living room, I think I have the golden ticket!  My hubby built me a really nice shelf/quilt hanger and I’ve just been using quilts I have at home for display.  None of them are quite right and I’ve known a new project [...]

Gosh, I fought through this month’s do. Good Stitches charity squares.  Not because I don’t love them.  I do.  Not because they were hard.  They’re not.  Ugh, why?  I honestly couldn’t tell you other than my same ol sob story, I’m busy yada yada.  Plus, they were time consuming.  I finished one square mid April [...]

My longtime BFF in Colorado is having her first baby girl!  Her name will be Journey and when I said, “hmmm, what shall I quilt for her?”  She said, “DEER!”  So here we are only a month away from Journey’s arrival and I am just starting.  To be fair, my life has been a bit [...]

Rachel, the originator of do. Good Stitches, is the quilter for the month of February.  She is putting together a “Punchy Wonky Star Quilt” full of red, pink, and white.  I can’t think of any better quilt & color combination for the love month of February.  Her quilt top vision was a burst of wonky [...]

Although my part is simple, just 2 12″ squares, it’s still a part.  If you would like to join, please contact do.  Good Stitches and get stitching and/or quilting.  Currently they are looking for quilters.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the extra time.  Trust me, I wish I could.  Alas, my endless amount of responsibilities haunt [...]
