I Quilt. I Sew. I Craft. Join Me!
The April quilt block from the Craftsy free Block of the Month class was a challenge for me. I haven’t pieced curved seams before. I haven’t created a circle in a block like this before. I haven’t appliqued around a circle for a long time. I haven’t used the blanket stitch on my sewing machine [...]
One of the new things I am enjoying this year is the free Block of the Month quilting class over at Craftsy. I have been loving creating the blocks bit by bit, and I had planned to share the April block with you this week but somehow the week got away from me! Look out [...]
This month is the first of our Modern Blocks QuiltAlong (ModernQAL) over at And Sew We Craft. We have a whole 12 months of blocks planned from the Modern Blocks book by Susanne Woods. The first block is called Follow the Leader and I LOVE it! Yes, it was a little fiddly with a few pieces [...]
Next month were starting our Quilt Along over at And Sew We Craft blog. We’re all choosing blocks from Modern Blocks by Susanne Woods so we’re calling it the Modern Blocks QuiltAlong. Every month there will be a new block introduced by one of our Team. You might choose to make all of them or [...]
Remember my Craftsy Blocks of the Month? I had such fun creating the January and February blocks so I was really looking forward to the March quilt block. This one is called an Economy Block. (If anyone knows why it is called that, I’d love to know! I can’t find the answer.) The final block [...]
I love quilting! I mostly taught myself to quilt when we “moved to the country” and never looked back. Now I teach other people the basics too. I have made many quilts and I have a number of quilt tops waiting to be finished. Maybe if I share some of my unfinished quilts with you [...]
I was doing research (otherwise known as browsing Pinterest!) recently and came across some very cool YouTube quilting tutorials from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. These are all done with jelly rolls which I have loved for a long time. I was so tempted to grab some fabric and get started, but I resisted and [...]
I was running a little late with my January quilt block but I’m all done with my February block – and it is only the middle of February! I must say that I like the first block better. I’m not sure whether it is the combination of colours or fabrics, or just the simplicity of [...]
A few weeks back I wrote about signing up for the Craftsy Free Block of the Month program which I promptly did then forgot about. So as we hit February, I decided to get on with it and make the January block. I’ve decided to make a quilt I’ve been admiring from far for [...]
I’m thinking about signing up for a quilt class this year. A Block of the Month quilt class. This is one where they release the blocks bit by bit throughout the year so that you can keep up and create a quilt by the end. The one I’m looking at teaches a new technique [...]
