I am so pleased that, despite the rush of end of the semester projects, I was able to finish the quilt I was making for my nearly life-long friend Joan. Joan taught math for a long time, and likes things neat and orderly. That is not my normal quilting design style, so when I saw the pattern for Gundrun Erla's "Kira" quilt, I knew I had to get it. I checked out her color palette to try to get a sense of what colors would work. I thought that the 12 fat quarter assortment from Tonga Treats Tuscany line would blend well and complement her colors. I used this opportunity to purchase Gundrun Erla's Stripology ruler, which was well worth it. I did the cutting of the fat quarters and piecing together of the middle at my fall quilt retreat. While the pieces went together beautifully, the layout was a bit trickier. Perhaps it was the wine we sipped while sewing! I have circled the blocks that looked OK at first, but thankfully, someone noticed that they were off! I hadn't sewn them together, and was able to get they layout straight. Because I mostly design my own quilts, I don't often purchase patterns, and I guess I didn't actually read through this one before I started because I got the center piece on my wall, and realized I didn't have any fabric for the wide border. Thank goodness for the internet. I was able to find a few yards of the now discontinued fabric online for the border! I got the top done and pinned for quilting in early November. The addition of Betty and Judy to our household has complicated the quilting process. They are fascinated with the Tiara - so I needed to get the basement room where I have the Tiara arranged so I could shut the cats out during the quilting. Since their beds are in that room, I also had to remove the quilt after each quilting session! It all worked out, and now I have a system in place! Yes - I am talking about you two scalawags! I ended up quilting with an overall easy going meandering stitch, in tan, which blended well with the off white batik back (also used in many of the lighter blocks). The back of the quilt fabric The quilt crinkled up nicely when washed and dried. The first attempt at taking pictures of the finished quilt was a bust. It was too windy, even at the part of our yard that rarely gets wind! The next day was calmer and I was able to get a nicer picture on the deck. A nice warm quilt for a snowy winter! You can tell it was cold because my trusty quilt holder is wearing gloves! Take care, Gretchen
Просто влюблена в этот блок, но сих пор обходилась «малыми формами»: наволочка и несколько прихваток, хотя одеяло в списке «хотелок» уже давным-давно. Есть несколько способов сборки этого блока: - традиционный, по шаблонам; - по бумаге: схема. Недавно узнала, что есть еще один способ сборки этого блока - из полос. Но нигде не могла найти его описания. Решила, что стыдно с высшим техническим образованием и дипломом конструктора ракетных комплексов не справиться с этой задачкой на сообразительность. Думаю, что я нашла правильный ответ. Сначала нарисовала примерную схему и приблизительно просчитала через синусы-косинусы ( ужас!) . Шью пробный образец: Полосы, светлую и темную, шириной 1 ½ дюйма нарезала на трапеции с помощью такой линейки (для одного блока надо по 4 светлых и темных детали): (по короткому срезу - 1 ¾ инча, по длинному срезу – 4 ¾ инча, угол 45 град. ). Длина полосы прим. 14 ½ дюйма. Пристрочила трапеции на другую полоску (на четыре трапеции длина полосы прим. 9 ½ дюйма): Лучше между трапециями оставлять зазор в пару миллиметров : детали "по косой", возможны погрешности. Заутюжила срезы на темную сторону и разрезала: Пришиваем еще одну полоску (все полосы выкроены шириной 1 ½ дюйма) и опять разрезаем: Теперь понадобятся 4 треугольника цвета трапеции. Для этого 2 квадрата со стороной 4 дюйма разрезаем по диагонали: Соединяем треугольники и ранее-сшитые трапеции: Проделываем все еще раз, только в зеркальном отражении: темные трапеции «наращиваем» светлыми полосками и треугольниками. Можно собирать блок: Я остановилась на этом варианте: Размер в готовом виде 9х9 дюймов ( без припусков). Чем больше блоков, тем удобнее шить по полоскам: нарезал трапеций и сшивай их "паровозиком"...Порезал и новый "паровозик" можно запускать.... P.S. Блок достаточно сложный: детали по косой, маленькие ромбики, в центре стыкуются восемь углов. Поэтому требуется «точный глаз» и «верная рука»: аккуратный раскрой и соблюдение припусков . Но результат того стоит!

Hello Everyone, An absolutely delightful group of women gathered together at Friends Around the Block in Colusa last Saturday for my Heritage class. By the end of class, the girls had some beautiful blocks completed. I can't wait to go back and see everyone again. The magic begins when the pieces are placed on the block layout sheet which is included in each pattern. (Unless my pattern stuffer, Mr. Joe, forgets to put one in!) The dynamic mother-daughter duo went to town on their blocks. I love seeing this quilt made in blue! Sharon has an eye for detail in her log cabin blocks. Working with directional fabrics in a Log Cabin block on point, can be a bit tricky. All of the blocks were so different and so beautiful! Here are my scrappy blocks that I made before class. My new version is going to look so different from the original. I find that when I make my patterns in an alternative colorway, the pattern has a longer shelf life......especially if I make a scrappy version. I may, just may, have to tear myself away from my quilt show preparations and make one more block today. I find them so addictive, that I can't make just one! Here's the original Heritage. The pattern is available in my Etsy shop. During class, Mary showed us a quilt top she just completed. This quilt uses Rachael Remembered fabrics. Love the quilt, the fabrics, and her precision. Gail and I had a delightful time at Friends Around the Block in Colusa. Let me tell all of you that this shop is well worth a road trip. The shop is packed full of goodies and fabrics that I haven't seen in other shops. Carol, the owner, and the staff are just delightful. (Note to self.......when we go back to Colusa during duck hunting season, I must remember to pack my camouflage outfit.....especially if we go back to Rocco's on the River for their delicious fish tacos!) Soon, Lynn

Several months ago I wrote about a friend who wanted me to re-create a quilt that was made for her in the 1980's. She had used it on her bed for years and it was showing signs of wear, but she loves this quilt and couldn't bring herself to part with it. She asked if I could make another very similar to it, however (thankfully!) she didn't want the sides, just the top, because she's going to fold it and lay it at the foot of the bed, just using when needed rather than as a bedspread as this one was used. I say "thankfully" on the sides because it would have been a lot more complicated to figure out how to do those. I did not have a pattern for this quilt - I was just figuring it out based on measurements she sent me. The one block is Courthouse Steps and the other one was fairly easy to draft, however each of the petals (192) and the flower centers (24) were hand appliquéd on, so that took awhile. So.... the first two photos are of her "old" quilt and these bottom two are of my "reproduction"! I am very pleased with the way it turned out! In fact, I like it SO much, I'm tempted to make one in a different color way for me! She picked out the fabrics and did an amazing job matching what she had, considering the fabrics in the original quilt were all bought in the '80s. Now I need to figure out how to quilt it. Hers was hand quilted and I told her I wouldn't be able to do that. She is fine with it being machine quilted - so that is next! I'll keep you posted on the progress :)

Last summer, my friend Colleen and I decided to take the Hunter Star class at Along Came Quilting. Here's a photo of the class sample, made by Kim Morrison, from the Along Came Quilting website, . This is a gorgeous quilt, in a traditional Hunter Star layout. This is a 4 day class (over 3 or 4 months), with lots of homework. On the 2nd day of class, you play with layout designs, as there are many options. Believe it or not, you can spend a whole day twisting and playing with block arrangement. Kim, our instructor, warned us in advance not to be too set on the traditional layout, as the fabrics and blocks might tell you how they need to be. Colleen was sure her quilt would be a traditional Hunter Star, as laid out below. And here's another layout option, with the same blocks. But Kim was right. Colleen's blocks did not want to be traditional. And here's how she chose to set her blocks... This layout required more light blocks than dark blocks. Colleen was starting to really like her quilt now, but wanted it slightly larger, and didn't care for the unfinished light stars on the edges, so very cleverly decided to add 1/2 blocks all around the outside edges, which finished the stars and made the quilt the size she wanted. And, for consistency, and to make it more border-like, she used the same dark blue fabric in all of these blocks. Isn't it wonderful with those 1/2 blocks added and the stars finished? Colleen IS brilliant :) I took a huge number of photos, but not one of the whole quilt after those 1/2 blocks were added. The fun continued with the quilting. Silk batting gives a nice loft without adding a lot of weight to this 88x102 quilt. Whimsical freehand feathers in the border, feathers between stars and some line-dancing in the block centers, giving lots of motion to the quilt. The stars were stitched around (ditched) to define them, and some continuous curves through the stars for softness. I had been getting a little discouraged quilting the light areas, as it was very hard to see what I had done, and it seemed like it wouldn't be worth all the time...but then I came back downstairs and the light was just right!! Hooray, the quilting really does show! These photos are while the work was still in progress, so the dark stars aren't stitched in yet. And, Colleen really wanted pillow shams, but didn't want to piece any more blocks (plus I think she was out of usable fabric for light stars) so she gave me some of her border fabric, and I designed some quilted pillow shams. oops, forgot to remove the chalk lines before taking photos The quilting is hard to see from the front, but when the light hits right, it's visible. If you're still here, thanks for enduring through all these photos with me.

Our local guild, The Cabin Country Quilters, has been donating a raffle quilt to a local cancer charity event called The Luncheon of Hope for many years now. The quilts donated are a well received by the event and a lot of effort is put into selling tickets. It is nice to see quilts appreciated and money raised for a wonderful charity group. This year the guild members decided on Moda's Stitched Pink quilt which was a free project that was released a block a day back in October 2020 to increase awareness of Breast Cancer. We cut block kits and members took a block or two home to stitch. Last Wednesday a small group was able to meet and sew the quilt top together. I took it home to quilt and it just needs the binding. I'm happy to past that job along to another guild member. You can find the block patterns at this link to Moda's Stitched Pink archive. We asked Quilt Junction if they would kit this up for us using an assortment of Pink Moda Grunges which was suggested in the pattern. They did a fabulous job! I quilted it with white So Fine thread and used Quilters Dream Blend batting. The pantograph is called Windswept and has the look of flowing ribbons. The backing is a pink batik with the breast cancer ribbon image.

It's hard to believe but, Cindy, Julie, Sandra and I have entered the last rounds of our Mini Round Robin. I have mixed feelings about this day. On one hand I'm super sad. It has been exciting to see what each of these other artists have created, poof! out of thin air. (I have to say I'm a humbled to be included in this group of amazing quilters). On the other hand, I'm kind of glad it's over, because, each round the bar was set higher and higher and with it the anxiety level of creating also rose. At least for me. Not to sound cocky, but as I was finishing up Cindy's block, I kind of had what I was going to do for Julie's block in the back of my mind and didn't feel panicked at all. Then on the first day of August we did our big reveals for the July round. Photo courtesy of mmm!quilts I had to laugh like a mad woman (on the verge of tears) when I saw a wonky width piano key border...almost the same thing I was thinking. (Sandra and I laugh and say we share a brain cell, I'm beginning to think it's true) I loved everything she did in her round. She started off by making the block "spin" by adding a border of white Moda Grunge then cutting it to off set the block. Then she framed the block with the multi colored and width piano key border. Looks like it's perfect and finished to me! Oh, wait, I still have to add to it...this is where the panic started. So it was back to the drawing board. Julie mentioned a wonderful book by Joen Wolfrom called The Visual Dance in her last round robin post. I decided to take her advice and purchased a copy of the book. I've only read the small section on round robins as of right now but it has been incredibly helpful even with this last round. According to Joen, the duty of the last round is to try to tie everything together. So before I started designing or picking out fabric, I spent some time truly thinking about what has made the block up to this point. I loved how both Cindy and Sandra added the "spinning" effect with the whitish fabric in their rounds. It has given the block nice movement. And the over all theme of the block was a scrapiness of bright colors with a feeling of improve piecing. Julie started us off with an improv log cabin and Sandra continued the improv with her wonky width piano keys. Now to decide how to tie these elements together. So what where my thoughts? First, to spin the block again using white grunge and again creating some sort of border. But let's remember technically we had to stay within the rule of only adding 3" to each side. Three inches sounds like a lot, until you are actually working with it. When I was working on Cindy's block in EQ7, I ran across a section of Crazy paper pieced blocks. I thought these blocks had great potential for a border for this mini. They still had an improv log cabin feel, but with angles instead of vertical and horizontal lines. So feeling pretty confident about my choices I moved forward and started off by adding a 3.5" border of the white to the block and played with spinning the block. So to spin or not spin was the question? I'll be honest, trying to figure out the measurements was starting to hurt my head. So I regrouped. What if I just did a small plain border of the white? This sounded promicing as well, but I felt I needed to justify it and prove to myself I wan't just taking the easy way out. Since it was the last round, just doing a simple border of the white would help to let the eye know things where starting to level out. I could still have movement with my improv block border. This was sounding better. And so this, is where Tish decides to go rogue and break the 3" to each side rule. We all knew I was going to do this at some point and quite frankly I'm impressed I waited until the last round. I trimmed the border to 1.75" which would bring the block to 21.5" and allow me to paper piece my blocks at 3.5" for a nice even number. I would need a total of 32 blocks. This sounded easy...until I actually started on it. I think I used a total of 7-8 different Crazy blocks found in EQ7 to create my border. I sorted through my stash (and ended up purchasing a few more) for fabrics that would work with the block. One thing I noticed is there was not much blue fabric (actually none) in the block so far. When I did my fabric pull I made sure I steered clear of this color. I think introducing a new color at this point would have stuck out a bit. With 32 blocks each made up of 7 to 11 pieces of fabric, I needed variety to pull off the look I was going for. So I sorted my fabric into piles and tried to grab randomly as I pieced the blocks. So a day of on and off sewing found me with only half of the blocks I needed. I completely underestimated how long piecing these tiny blocks would take. The next evening I spent cutting out fabrics for the other 18 blocks. Then the next evening, I sewed the rest together. Knowing that the clock was ticking down on time, I started chain piecing and not paying attention to what I was doing. It only took two sessions of picking out these tiny 1.0 stitches to slow my butt down and make sure fabrics where not folded over. That's a mistake you do not want to repeat. Yikes! Several hours later, I've never been so happy to see a pile of blocks in my life!! The next step was to sew the blocks into rows. They contained so many bias edges, for stability, I decided to leave the paper on the blocks until the rows were attached to the block itself. As soon as a row was sewed together it was time to say a prayer and see if indeed it was the correct length. And it was!!! After a crazy happy dance with a dog it was time to attach the rows to the block and pick all of the paper off. And I could not be happier with the the result of my round. It turned out just as I imagined. I can't wait to hear what Julie thinks of my round. I have much respect for her as a designer and I've always enjoyed reading about her design process. I tried very hard to channel my "inner Julie" when working with this block. Improv is not something that comes easily to me (heck I still used a paper pieced block), but I wanted to do her block justice and try to make everything come together in this round. I don't feel bad in saying, I think I got it right. The lesson: don't be afraid to challenge yourself, you just might be surprised at what you can do. If you get a chance to participate in a project of this type, go for it! Don't be afraid to trust your instincts and try new things. And don't be afraid to allow yourself to feel good about the work you've done. Please take a moment to check out my fellow bloggers and see how they have wrapped up the minis for their rounds.
