Sew Let’s Quilt Along Segment 2 Wrap Up

Posted on July 6, 2019 | 7 comments

Block 9 of Segment 2 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is finished.

This fun block includes appliqued lettering. I am going to show the back so that you can see that the letters are machine stitched…it is difficult to see from the front.

I changed the lettering from the original design. The cute block design is called “In Stitches” designed by Kathleen McCormick.

To wrap up Segment 2, participants are asked to show a photo of our four blocks together.

July OMG Goal 2019

Posted on July 2, 2019 | 15 comments

I have never made a Disappearing Nine Patch (D9P) quilt. Don’t ask me why this has been on my bucket list; it just has.

So when I saw that Julie Cefalu was hosting a D9P quilt along, I decided that now was the time to make one.

Julie’s instructions, diagrams, tips and even a size chart (for 5″ charm squares) is making an easy project just that much easier. I really appreciate her efforts!

I have fabric that I want to use up (and thread, too), so I am making blocks with choices that I would definitely not normally choose. That’s okay…someone somewhere will like it, and I am learning about value and design.

I have sewn 20 nine patch blocks.

I have even ‘spun’ the intersecting seams!

My goal for July is to cut these blocks up and sew them back together into a flimsy.

Thank you, Julie, for the diversion and the fun!

Lets Sew Quilt Along

Posted on June 15, 2019 | 15 comments

Block 7, or the second block in Segment 2 of the Lets Sew Quilt Along is an adorable iron design called Its A Pressing Issue by Karen at Tu-Na Quilts.

Once I cut the pieces, the iron went together beautifully! My biggest difficulty is pushing past the colors and textures that I always want to use, and create something out of the box and fun!
