Sometimes quilts design themselves, and that's what happened with this Cinnabar quilt. I fell in love with the backing fabric and knew this was the perfect pattern to use!

Jeanne Arnieri's ready to stitch Block #9, Star of the East, the last in our Hospital Sketches BOM for 2019. See the pattern here: https://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/2019/09/hospital-sketches-9-star-of-east-camp.html Worn version of a classic Angela Steiner's is more like the antique version here. Encyclopedia of Applique The block was popular; it fills the square well and hasn't any difficult shapes. Ladies's Art Company's Mexican Rose The common name today is Mexican Rose because that's what the Ladies' Art Company called it when they started selling a pattern in the 1890s, but the block is older. Esther Matthews named her block the Star of the East in her 1858 Shenandoah Sampler quilt. Aunt Martha published it as Columbine in 1933 Mexican Rose in The Farmer's Guide quilt booklet from the Quilt Index Quiltmakers filled the corners with many florals, this one from the 1930s. Quilt dated 1853 by Ann Laughinghouse in Pitt County, documented in the North Carolina project. Sampler attributed to North Carolina Maybe 1800-1920 Extra Leaves Looking for an applique border?

Welcome to the Dog Gone Cute quilt along blog hop! Beginning September 1st, this quilt along blog hop will get underway and we would like to encourage you to quilt along. You can make as many or as few blocks as you like. Make a quilt or make a mini. Make a cushion. Make a set of placemats or a little puppy mug rug. A table runner. A bed runner! Make whatever your imagination leads you to make! There are two styles of dogs. Ears up and Ears down. There are two block sizes. Small finishes at 9" x 6" and Large finishes at 18" x 12" There are two sizes of quilts. Mini finishes at 30" x 30" and Maxi finishes at 60" x 60". Just to give you fair warning.... The dog blocks are addictive Once you make one, you'll want to make a whole litter! Here are some examples of how your Dog Gone Cute quilt could look! A quilt along is always more fun than quilting alone. And a blog hop helps to spread the fun around! Want to get in on the fun? Then grab a button below and share it on your blog! To participate only in the Quilt Along, tune in to Sew Fresh Quilts beginning on September 1st, when block and quilt size options, and details of fabric requirements will be shared. Or you can purchase the pattern and quilt along at your own pace. Each week following September 1st, instructions for the piecing of the various dog blocks will be given. In November, a linky party will be available to share your flickr and instagram photos or your Dog Gone Cute blog posts. Participants of the Blog Hop portion will be placed on a schedule where we can come to visit you at your blog on your "Show It Off" day during October. Participants of the blog hop portion will be required to purchase a copy of the Dog Gone Cute quilt pattern, but will be reimbursed following the last day of the blog hop providing they do their part to help make the blog hop a success. The success of a blog hop depends on the participant's willingness to commit and follow through with their obligation: to make something quilted using the Dog Gone Cute pattern to blog about it in time for their day on the hop to visit the other participants on their "Show It Off" day. The Dog Gone Cute quilt along will begin on September 1st. The details and a weekly schedule can be found on this Dog Gone Cute quilt along page. The Dog Gone Cute page tab is found just below the blog header. As each post is published the live links will be added to the schedule.

I have finished the binding on the second version of my dolls quilt for the Flickr DQS# 9. I'm really happy with how it has turned out. My partner has been a bit on the quiet side so I hope she is happy too. I love the back! For the first version I did white thread on the back, but for this one I matched the bobbin thread with the top thread. i think the back looks as good as the front! So which one shall I send? I have had them both hanging up in the dining room and been running a poll. Grace and Daz like the red and blue one, Milly and I like the pink one. Friends over last night voted 2 for the red and blue, two for the pink! So it is tied. Which one would YOU like?

Finally! I have finished my sample, so I can share my exciting project with you all! Introducing my first finish of 2012, Easy Going Modern. It's on the roster over at Patchwork Posse as a Workshop beginning February 2nd. Included in the $8 workshop cost is exclusive access to the pattern during the workshop, as well as support from me in the discussion forums, which are available only to workshop participants. I'll be including a Layer Cake variation as well as a bonus project for using scraps to make a pillow cover. Exciting, eh?? Easy Going Modern is a nice lap size quilt - 56" x 78" or so - perfect for snuggling on the couch. I quilted it with a really quick and easy wavy line that I did with my walking foot. Thread is Aurifil 50wt in a subtly variegated yellow. This whole project is quick and easy - fabulous for a beginner, or for a more experienced quilter to whip up in a weekend. The back's layout mimics the front, but in larger scale: My daughter gives it a big smile, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it, too. I used Kona solids for the front: Carribbean, Curry and White. The back is Kona White and a print that is perfect for this quilt's recipients. It's bound in Kona White as well. I'm happily linking up to Manic Monday, Sew Modern Monday and Fabric Tuesday (buttons over on my sidebar). Edited to add that I am also linking over at Quilt Matters' TGIFF linky. EDITED again to add: I've been featured on Modern Day Quilts! Woot! Thank you, Heather!

"Songs of Spring," 6-inch blocks by Lori Smith, outer border by me, is hand quilted and bound...just in the nick of time to be my second entry for the Sauder Village Quilt Show next week (Tuesday through Sunday) in Archbold, Ohio, along with "Baltimore Rhapsody" - the big music monster. This tiny baby measures about 36" x 42". I just love appliquing these fun, tiny blocks...the blocks are the perfect size for a baggie, take-along project...once they are glue prepped for applique. I drive the quilts to drop them off on Sunday afternoon...yippee! Best not to peak too soon! The hand quilting is pretty boring...outline quilting of block motifs, diagonal grid through the blocks, piano key motif above the swags, and dense echo quilting in the outer border. Since I am coordinating a huge fundraiser "Pastapalooza" spaghetti dinner for my daughter's high school music program this Friday night, I needed hand quilting therapy last week and weekend. Hand quilting calms me down when I am contemplating a hanging death by hot, al dente pasta noodles... I just love that stop border green wiggly striped fabric. It gives the quilt a little motion. Here are the twelve little blocks. They are such a cute, little size... Here I am, nervously soaking out the blue quilting lines and the glue from the corner outer border motifs. I pre-shrunk my cotton batting before basting the layers together so that I could keep the overall shrinking of the finished quilt to a minimum. Would you believe this is the first time I basically washed a quilt right after finishing it...not even waiting for it to get soiled? I'm thrilled it didn't come apart or get all bunchy... I don't know what I was afraid of...the small size made it an easy chore. In stitches, Teresa Rawson :o)
