Little Bulls Eye Quilt finish

Posted on by
Little Bulls Eye Quilt finish

Back in May, I had these blocks on my design wall and now they are a little quilt!  I love how the quilting shows after washing and drying.  Not really sure what I’m going to do with it, but for now it’s on the dining room table.

The spiral and radiating wavy lines look great from the back, too.  This was a fun project to experiment with this quilting design.

I’m linking up at Such a Sew and Sew:  A Stitch in Time.    Check out other October finishes posted.

Anabel’s Lil’ Twister Dolly quilt

Anabel’s Lil’ Twister Dolly quilt

 

My grand-niece Anabel turned one yesterday and every little girl needs a dolly quilt! This quilt is the result of doing a Lil’ Twister tool demo for quilt guild.  It’s a perfect size for a Tummy Time dolly quilt.

And just for fun, I made a little postage stamp quilt for the dolly!  My quilting buddy, Candace, has been donating charms to me for my PSQ and a few of them were pink flannel!   Isn’t it cute?   I used a flannel backing with no batting or quilting.

I didn’t have Anabel’s dolly for the photo, so I swiped a Teddy bear from our daughter’s room to show the size.

I usually do big projects, but it’s very satisfying to make small ones!

I didn’t have an August finish to post, where did that month go, so I’m linking to September’s Stitch In Time for my first finish.  I hope to have another finish this month!  We’ll see!

Design Wall Monday – Flea Market UFO!

Posted on by
Design Wall Monday – Flea Market UFO!

Here’s a recent flea market purchase – “vintage” quilt blocks.  I don’t need another Loose Ends project but I couldn’t resist this unfinished quilt.  The improv piecing and use of solid fabrics looks like today’s modern quilts!   I plan to deconstruct some of the blocks and reassemble the quilt into a 5 x 6 set.

What would you do with 33 vintage blocks?

Thanks!  🙂 Linda

Design Wall Monday and a July Finish!

Design Wall Monday and a July Finish!

Four Great Granny square blocks ready for trimming!  I love that I’m using scraps and strips to make these!  The background is scrappy white fabric, too.  Want to sew along?  Check out the Great Granny Along!

I’m excited to post a July finish!  Purple seems to be a hard color for my camera so I took this finished quilt outside for better results.

I used the leftover squares to make the quilt reversible!

I’m linking up with A Stitch in Time July Linky party to celebrate!

Trip Around the World Pattern Link

Trip Around the World Pattern Link

 

I posted my finished quilt on the Quilting Board and had several people ask for the pattern.  Well, much to my surprise, I found the pattern on the RJR website!

So, here’s the link to the pattern!   The pattern has been removed, sorry!

The original quilt is at the Michigan State University Museum and the pattern includes several pages of historical information about the quilt maker, Laura May Clarke.

 

 

This picture from the RJR website more accurately represents the color.  For some reason, my camera doesn’t like purple!  I trimmed the squares on the outside edges, the original quilter did not!

A big thanks to RJR for posting the pattern online for me to find 10 years later!  I originally purchased this pattern in 2002!!!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!  🙂 Linda
