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?

We had a terrific Stitch & Bitch retreat this past weekend. It was our 8th one out at Shenandoah River State Park. So much fun playing games, winning prizes, sewing projects, sharing ideas, enjoying demos, and so much more. We always have a great time together. Our space is limited for this retreat but if you are interested we can add your name to our waitlist so be sure to reach out if you are interested. We do this twice a year. You can see from the photos how much fun we have!

Baltimore Square Quilt

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , on April 1, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Last week I shared that I had started a third quilt top while at the retreat in Pennsylvannia and that I was working on my 1961 Featherweight. (Read about it here.) When I got home I set the little machine up and continued to piece the Baltimore Square quilt top. I was enamored with this pattern. I’m not sure why but ever since I saw it I wanted to give it a try. So I finished the top a few days ago. I love that I did it on that sweet little Featherweight. And of course, Lincoln helped! I’ll send this one out to a longarm quilter soon and when it is finally completed I will share the final result. Oh, and yeah, there is over 2800 little 1 1/2″ (finished size) blocks in this quilt. 🙂

Arrived yesterday in New Freedom, PA for a quilting retreat with about 20 other quilters….a great group of woment with beautiful ideas and skills. It’s so much fun to see what others are doing. I put together a quilt that I have been working on for a possible class. I call it the “Perfect Picnic Quilt” because it has a checkboard in the center so after you eat your picnic you can play checkers! Fun, hun???!!!! Watch for an upcoming class. And watch for more photos of the beautiful things these quilters are doing here.

Stitch & Bitch VII Was AMAZING

To say we had a great time at Stitch & Bitch VII would be a huge understatement. This group of stitchers made beautiful projects while having fun playing games and winning prizes. It would be hard to describe all the things we did, all the delicious food we ate, and all the laughs we had. I can’t remember when I laughed so much. We are all looking forward to the next one in April.

Another Banner for the Year

Posted in Holidays, Quilting, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , , , on August 16, 2023| Leave a Comment »

As we just announced we will begin our “Banner Year” soon featuring a quilted banner for each month of the year. This one with our patchwork acorn and pinwheels will be November’s banner. The hardest part of designing this year long class is narrowing down the ideas. But that will be good news for those who participate because they will get several patterns each month. WooHoo! We love bonus patterns, don’t you???!!!! The schedule for the first quarte should be ready today or tomorrow so be sure to watch for it on The Studio Facebook page. If you haven’t “liked” our page be sure to do that now.

Around the World with Jack

Posted in daily painter, Quilting, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , on May 2, 2023| Leave a Comment »

This is a super fun quilt to make. While it looks time consuming because of all the blocks there is a secret to it that makes it go so fast…..plus all your seams will line up beautifully. Another big bonus is that it takes only a small amount of each fabric and you can even use fat quarters. You know you have been buying them so now you can use them! 🙂 Here is the link with more information and to register to be sure to get your spot!
