Grim Ripper

Posted on June 30, 2022 | 19 comments

I couldn’t help myself.

This squirrel was so cute! I had to drop everything and make it!

I know all you sewists out there relate!

This little guy is only 9.5″ x 12.5″. The free pattern was designed by Terry Chilko and is available here.

I free motion quilted a small meander for the background filler; like the meandering thread on the fabric print that I chose for the back of this little quilt.

I also embroidered a red French knot to the seam ripper.

This little guy is going to join one of my favorite quilts in my sewing studio!

Quilt On!

Let’s Sew Quilt Along Finish!

Posted on September 21, 2020 | 19 comments

I can finally put the Let’s Sew quilt project on the finish line!

Woo hoo!

Bulky seams and tension problems created some time with Jack the Ripper, but we worked it out together.

This quilt spent a lot of wait time spread out on the cutting table.

So much time that the Quilt Inspector created her own artsy addition; enough kitty hair to make a carpet overlay.

I guess she assumed ownership and was using the quilt for her mattress.

Then she must have changed her mind about the sleeping arrangement, because she barfed on the quilt (Was I not supposed to tell you that?).

The commercial orange fabric bled when I cleaned up after the Inspector.

These things never happen to anyone else. Right?

This might be my favorite block:

Slow Sunday Stitching

Posted on September 13, 2020 | 23 comments

I have finished stitching Farm Girl.

She is washed and pressed.

Farm Girl finishes at 4.5″.

I need to find a suitable frame and then she will be ready for gifting.

At 7:30 am, it is dark and eerie, and it will stay that way all day. I live in Washington state, so I am currently living under cover of thick smoke. There is no going outside, except to work and back. No work today, so I get to be home all day! Yay!

Since Farm Girl is finished, I will consider my slow Sunday project to be free motion quilting on the Let’s Sew quilt. I am certainly slow at it!
