Curvy Cabins

May 15, 2018 by Sue Leave a Comment

I named this quilt “Curvy Cabins” and took a class to learn this curved piecing technique in September of 2017 at Quilt Etc. in Sandy. I cut out all the pieces before the class, then sewed up two blocks during the class to learn the technique. My instructor helped me get all the pieces for the remaining blocks sorted out into piles so that I just had to start sewing blocks at home. It went together quite quickly and then I worked on the curved seams. I finished the top and took it back to Quilt Etc. for quilting on Halloween and got it back from them just before New Year’s. So I got the binding almost sewed on in 2017 and finished the last yard of hand-sewing it down in early May because I set it aside and worked on other things. 

The free pattern is called “Yin and Yangish” by EE Schenck Co. and lends itself to any color scheme. It finished at 61″x68″. It uses 10 fat quarters of each color, so I selected prints that I liked together.  Here’s the ones I know that had selvages with attributions.

Blues:
Fairy Frost D#CM0376 by Michael Miller Fabrics
unknown by Timeless Treasures Fabrics (2), and Northcott
“Bree” by Nancy Hall Style 2137
“Reef” #I6973 by Elizabeth Hartmann for Kona

Gray & Silvers:
“Meadow” #8483 by Andover Fabrics
BasicGrey/Maven #30467 by Moda
unknown by Northcott
#1063 by Henry Glass & Co.

I pieced  the back using leftover strips and ran a horizontal strip of the random pieces through the gray backing.

It was quilted with gray thread using the pattern “Bossa Nova” by Urban Elementz at Quilt Etc.

Short Line quilt finish

April 13, 2018 by Sue Leave a Comment

I finally finished hand-sewing the binding on this scrap quilt. All four of us in my quilt group made one of these by sharing our scraps around to get it done. I made a smaller one than the others so mine is more baby size while theirs are throw size. It’s a rail fence variation so the pattern author decided it needed a railroad name and used one of the Monopoly railroads. A rather convoluted title, but there you are. The pattern is Short Line by Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co., published 2010. We saw a sample made at a local quilt shop last year and decided we all needed our own version. The most fun part is that it contains fabric from all of us. It has a “piano keys” border and I used leftover binding pieces for a scrappy binding.  [Read more…] about Short Line quilt finish

Riedel Fascination Challenge sign-ups

January 31, 2018 by Sue Leave a Comment

All the reading challenges at Riedel Fascination run February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019 so we don’t have to do wrap-up posts during Christmas and New Year’s time. In keeping with my word of the year, LIGHTEN, I am cutting back on reading challenges this year. Since I still want to play along with Carolyn’s fun challenges, I have decided to still join, but rather than keep going through the whole year, I am going to set a goal for each one and when that is reached, I am done with the challenge.  [Read more…] about Riedel Fascination Challenge sign-ups

All the reading challenges at Riedel Fascination run February 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018 so we don’t have to do wrap-up posts during Christmas and New Year’s time. This was my second year for Celtic Coasts and I found that I read many books last year with a tie to Ireland, Wales, or Scotland in setting or author. I managed a total of 47 books this year with a Celtic tie. The list: [Read more…] about Celtic Coasts 2017 wrap-up
