Just got my “Picnic Quilt” back from the longarmer. I love the design of this quilt. It’s simple but it really could be used to play checkers! The simple blocke designs around the edge just enhance the checks. Love it! Now to go on a picnic.

Box Ribbon Quilt Completed

Posted in daily painter, Quilting, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , , , , on May 14, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The Ribbon Quilt is back from the longarmer. Wendy did a fantastic job on it. She always makes my quilt tops looks so good! I love this little quilt because I really like the fabric…Mercantile by Lori Holt for Riley Blake. I made the top at the retreat I attended in Pennsylvannia in March and just got it back and put the binding on it. I have quite a bit more of this fabric as I had a large fat quarter bundle so I can’t wait to make something else with it. (Here is the original post about the quilt.)

Have Featherweight Will Travel

Posted in Little Known Facts, Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, Travel, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , on May 3, 2024| Leave a Comment »

This is what the little Singer Featherweight Sewing machines were made for…travel!  They were advertised as portable, and while in today’s terms, eleven pounds may seem heavy, they really are easy to take along.  They are perfect for piecing quilt blocks.  I love them!  This one is a fairly rare 1961 Tan Featherweight… named Barbara Ann for my mom.  She’s traveled with me to the last two retreats.  I try to rotate the Featherweights I have so they all get used and I can keep them maintained.  I have 6 now…Oops, how did that happen???!!!  Did I mention that I love these little machines?
