My string block for this week. Lots of yellow from my Sloanie Camp quilt. I’m trying to use strips each week from projects I’m working on, then use what’s already in my strip bin to finish it. I have finally started quilting my Valentine table runner. I saw a smaller version of this circle fill…

I got the borders on my Charming Tiles quilt top. I’m finding I need a bigger vertical space to take pictures of my quilts – my quilts are growing! This one measures 49 x 60 inches. My newest library find. It is for painters, but she discusses at great length seeing colour as VALUE. This…

I found this book at my local library last night. Gwen Marston and Joe Cunningham, copyright 1987. I live in a small town, with a small library, and a very small collection of quilting books. Or so it would seem. I always check the shelf and every once in awhile come how with a great…

I got distracted by this new pattern. All the blocks are made. I’m attaching the sashing today. I see the years of living in Mennonite country influencing the design. My husband thinks it has a retro feel. I like the possibilities I see when I take the colours away and all your eye can see…

This is the December block for the mystery basket BOM. I’m pretty sure that not all the required background squares are in the directions – can you see where they go?:) This may end up having some of the smallest pieces I’ve ever pieced. The little triangles are 1 1/2 inches. I”ve also started these…
