Trip Around The World
I didn’t entirely like this flimsy when I was given it to quilt. My friend got a really good deal on it but it turned out to have a lot of tucks, it wasn’t square, and it was made of all kinds of fabrics, only some of which were all cotton. And to top it [...]
Today went really well! My last quilting class is tonight and I wanted to show it done before we disbanded. It’s a subtle effect but I took the same striped dark green fabric and made bias binding out of it so that you’d have the stripes on the diagonal. I’m not entirely sure I like [...]

The “growing borders” quilt is done and it turned out really nice. It doesn’t look like it had any problems at all, does it? And there are no tucks. There are just some spots where there’s more fabric between the stitching than there should be but it’s not bad. When there’s fullness, the machine quilting [...]
I got the last two community quilts done and delivered to my quilting class last night! Yay! It was quite a quilting frenzy to get it all done on time. The first one is pretty bright and busy, more so than I like, but it grows on you. Also, it has the most beautiful off [...]
