I pretty much dream quilt blocks…I love moving around pieces and changing each quilt block with small pattern changes or fabric colors.  These quilt blocks came about from my small quilt groups challenge of taking the same quilt center and we each do a quilt block and see what we come up with. I designed twenty-eight quilt blocks…and made the ones here… I pretty much turned the group sideways, as they weren’t that receptive… You know a quilt group, follow the rules, didn’t hear any rules…but that’s OK, here they are for YOU !  Each quilt block has a finished size of 12” x 12”

Mending an Old Quilt – How to do It

Making a Quilt A Bit Better

This is a post from about four years ago, how I mend quilts. Mending a quilt is not hard, it does take a bit of time from finding the right fabric to the hand work.
At this time of the year quilts seem to go from family member to family member and please don’t over look taking a quilt, bindings can be replaced (will share soon) and patches made. Here is my applique to mend an old quilt tutorial.
I’m always on the look out for old quilts and IF I think I can save them I purchase. They have to be washable and usable, nothing better, no matter the temperature is a quilt to cuddle in.
This is a recent purchase !

How to fix and old quilt by hand stitching it

 

 There are 3 blocks that needed attention, 
I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out 
VERY nice, they usually do !

Christmas Holiday To Do List – November

Christmas is Coming

I have never written all that I do before and the realization of just what happens is a bit overwhelming.

I seem to deep clean the first part of the month and have no problem keeping the rooms done up. Not being a Halloween person, I did quite a bit of my shopping this past week.
I am not hosting Thanksgiving this year, just a bit of cooking, maybe that helps too.
Everything becomes a bit real in November. Time does not stop, Christmas is Coming.

All Quilter’s Have a First Quilt

First Quilt Made – The Quilt Ladies

This is My first quilt
In the early 1980’s we moved to Burlington, Iowa, it’s in the southeastern corner of the state on the Mississippi River and yes, I learned how to spell Mississippi. The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop

I had done some quilt blocks, some pillows and then I saw in the paper a class being hosted by the local quilt group. I remember it being expensive and how I agonized over it for days. but, finally signed up.
The teacher was “Liz Porter” at the time she worked for one of the magazines, Better Homes maybe, but is was a wonderful day and I learned so much.


Tutorial How I do my Squares

My First Quilt
My First Quilt is all Squares
My First Quilt
It was a color class which meant nothing to me at the time, looking at the quilt today I didn’t get the whole idea. Liz brought letters to add to each quilt to identify, I used my initials.
First Quilt is all Squares
Hand quilting was so relaxing to me, I had no frame, just a dining room table, pinned it very well and quilted. I checked out library books on how to do everything. The quality of books we have now is crazy different from then.
My First Quil
I was approached to join the quilt group after the class. I think I was a rarity in the group a “new” member. I remember being laughed at when they saw my round corners (months later) on the quilt. I love these corners. This is my quilt, I curl up under it daily, it’s washed all the time and it’s just over 43 years old. It’s never looked better to me.

And, if you are in the group in Burlington, IA. I’d love to hear from you ! !
