Free Flower Block of the Month


midnight_posies_quilt

Reeze Hanson has created this gorgeous free Flower BOM project, Midnight Posies.

This pattern is a great beginner project and is a wonderful “first quilt” for those who want a pretty throw quilt with simple piecing. The fusible machine-applique border is super simple and is a great project for learning a few new techniques.

The fabric requirements and the first two blocks have been posted already. The instructions are well done and include great tips.

Happy National Quilting Day 2009

home-nqa

The National Quilting Association is devoting this year to the Home. They have created a free project, Welcome Home, to honour National Quilting Day.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with lots of quilting.

I will be celebrating in spirit this year. Instead of quilting I’ll be playing dolls, colouring or baking a cake (?) with my 3 year old niece, making funny faces at my 4 month old niece and celebrating my “baby sister’s” 30th birthday. Where did the years go, I have no idea. Happy Birthday (tomorrow) lil sis!

See last year’s NQA block.

Update from Lucy:

“You’re going to see Auntie Schell tomorrow.”
“Yay! I so excited to see my Auntie Schell.”
*pause*
“Auntie Schell is a good girl.”

Good to know I’m a good girl! haha

Woven Wonder – A Tutorial?

I am going to try to break down for everyone the steps I took in making my woven wonder quilt. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures during the process and I have no near plans to recreate this amazing quilt. This has also been an ongoing project for the past four years so my memory is a bit hazy at parts. The best thing to remember is that you can adjust lengths and amounts to fit the size quilt you want to do…just takes a little extra math!

The Story BEHIND the MAGIC

I HATE matching my corners when piecing a quilt. I absolutely HATE it. So, one day I had this brilliant idea (or so I thought at the time)…I would WEAVE a quilt…that way, I didn’t have to worry about my corners matching. I should add here that I had this brilliant idea in the beginning of 2005.
