2019 Finish Along | Quarter 2 Projects

Ah, winter is coming to an end here in the UP. The snow is melting and spring is on the way. The robins have returned, what a wonderful sign!

This quarter is going to be a struggle for me. After our long winter, I am just itching to get out on the trails and hike with my family. But I also want to keep making progress on my WiP's!

I am bringing just one unfinished item from my Q1 list, this Bonnie & Camille Churn Dash Quilt. I just didn't have time to finish quilting this one. So all I need to do is finish quilting and bind!

Last year I sewed along with the 100 block in 100 days. Well I kinda fell off the bandwagon around day 70-something. I took 60 of those blocks and modified the Sliding Scale pattern from the Tula Pink 100 Modern Blocks book to create this rainbow quilt. Now to just finish it!

I finished this City Tiles quilt top in March 2018. Yet another quilt top that has been cluttering up my sewing space.

Another bee quilt! I can't even remember when this one was started. The last few weeks I have been working to finish any blocks, sashing, and borders. So now this one is ready for quilting. Though my dilemma now is, quilt myself or sent it out for quilting?!

So four quilts that need quilting, here's to hoping for a productive quarter!

Geometric Captain America Shield : Free Pattern

so a couple of months ago, i signed up for the MARVELous Craft Swap through Instagram hosted by @justjoshinkids . what i love about swaps is the chance to try something new. for this swap i wanted to try and design a paper pieced pattern based on Captain America's Shield. and taking my inspiration from @quietplay i made the pattern geometric, so i could make the shield more scrappy in nature. i used the free quilt design program called QuiltAssistant to design my pattern. after figuring out what the heck i was doing, i finally landed on a pattern that worked. with a few minor tweaks here and there, i am happy how it turned out. the pattern finishes at 13 inches square, but i slightly oversized it, so i could trim the edges down to 12.5 inches, to finish at 12 inches. I loved designing this pattern and have a few more in the works that I hope to release as well. You can find this pattern on Payhip . This pattern is for personal, not for profit use only. If you do

Modern Green Bay Packers Sampler Quilt | A Finished Quilt

Shortly after we moved to the UP 3 years ago, I was browsing Pinterest as one does and found this quilt . Being originally from the lower peninsula of Michigan that we must be Lion fans. Well I was never really a Lions fan and my husband and I don't watch football at all. We became friends with a couple who love the Packers, so I started pulling fabrics and slowly making blocks. After 3 years in the making it is finally done and our friends love it. During the initial shutdown for COVID-19, I really starting going to town on this quilt. Plus I had my 2020 Triple Block Bee-mates help with the filler cross blocks. This was a nice project that I could just loose myself in. Besides doing virtual schooling with my kiddo, my afternoons were spent in my sewing room. I went through so much stash! I didn't do any planning when I began sewing the blocks, so putting this together was a bit of a challenge. But it was like a giant puzzle and I like how it turned out. Now I have other idea

Let's Catch Up | A Couple of Rainbow Quilts

2020 has been one hell of a year! I am trying to make my way back to this space, but I know it will be hit or miss as we get ready to move in a couple of weeks! During my time away I spend a lot of it helping my kiddo with school and stitching up a bunch of new quilts. I still can't believe it has been 2.5 years since we moved to the Upper Peninsula. Now we are moving again, staying in the U.P, just moving closer to my job working at a quilt shop. So of course my oldest daughter wanted to give her two friends quilts before we move, so that meant I needed to get quilting. This first quilt was made with my 2.5 inch square stash. I originally sewed 16-patch blocks, but wanted more of a punch, so I sewed 4, 16-patch blocks together to make one large block. Since I wanted to create a rainbow spectrum, I added the sashing and finished with a border. I love how this one turned out and Nora's friend loved it. One of the perks of my job is access to a long arm machine! I am really start
