Category: Quilting and Sewing

My Swoon quilt is back from the quilter and I couldn’t be happier with it!


I saw this quilting pattern on a quilt hanging in a local quilt shop and decided it was the perfect thing for my project.  I love looking at it and feel it’s a great compliment to the quilt.


The binding has been chosen, made and sewn onto the quilt.  I’ve decided to hand finish the binding, which is in progress.  It may take me a while but I’ll get it done!  I can’t wait to wrap up in this quilt.

A little peek at the backing:


I’ll be back soon with the finished quilt.

Tonight I’m driving up to Logan to visit my sister.  We’re going to spend tomorrow sewing at her house and I’m sooo excited!

Remember my quilt along blocks , the ones that drove me crazy?

Well, after finishing the Swoon quilt I decided I wasn’t allowed to do anything else until I also finished the sashing for these blocks.  I’m tired of having the stack of squares sitting on the table reminding me that I’m not done.

So, here it is:


I am grateful that the white pulls the squares together and makes it all work.  What an interesting quilt this is… I love it and hate it at the same time.


I have someone in mind for this quilt, but first I have to decide how to quilt it, which seems to be another puzzle for me.  I wish I was better at this….

Hooray!  The sashing is complete and I have a quilt top!


I’m not going to quilt this one myself.  It’s a little too big for my comfort, and I love it too much.  I’ve taken it to a quilter and chosen a pattern I’m quite excited about.


Finishing this project brings me to a lull of sorts in my sewing.   I have six different projects all tempting me and we’ll see which one rises to the top of the list!
