Posted in Quilt ♥ Love, Threadology Quilt Along, Works in Progress

Threadology QAL – Block 5

Welcome back for block five, Royal Star, of Fat Quarter Shop’s 2019 Threadology Quilt Along. I have to confess, I’m sitting here a bit stunned as I’m writing this. It’s April 1??? Starting the second quarter of the year already?…

Threadology QAL – Block 4

Happy Friday, friends, and welcome to block four, Churn Dash, of Fat Quarter Shop’s 2019 Threadology Quilt Along. Normally, I try to share a short cut or technique for each block, but honestly, they don’t get much simpler than the…

Threadology QAL – Block 3

I am back with block three, Shooting Squares, of Fat Quarter Shop’s 2019 Threadology Quilt Along. On this block I chose to deviate a bit from the instructions to speed things up, so I’ll do my best to share these…

  • I've been reading more and more about #FQSSTITCHMAYNIA and the itch finally struck. I wrote a short blog post today about my May-nia plans (link in profile). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone else joining in? 31 starts in 31 days? Ok, ok....I may be deviating a bit from 31 starts, but I do have grandiose plans. I already placed an order with Fat Quarter Shop today, so I'll have my new design and be ready to start stitching May 1. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you swipe to my second picture, you can see what I've ordered. I know it's an autumn design, but here's the deal. I'm planning to start it. I plan to do something cross stitch related for 31 days in May. That still doesn't guarantee I will finish this by May 31, but I figure SURELY I can have it done by October, right??? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #xstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #xstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #xstitching #handstitched #needlework #needlecraft #crossstitchlove #crossstitchland #thread #crossstitchthread #dmcthreads #aurifloss #diy #diyproject #crafts #crafty #crafter #inspiration #handsondesign #pumpkinspicefarm #pumpkinspiceseason #maynia #fqsmaynia #crossstitch⁣⠀
  • Folks, we are on BLOCK 6 (!!!!!) of the @fatquartershop Threadology Quilt Along! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That means only two more blocks, and we are nearly done. 😥 Admittedly, I enjoy finishing a project, but I've loved making this quilt so much... the simplicity, the fabrics, and mostly the camaraderie here on IG, looking at everyone else's blocks. I'll be sad to see this one come to an end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to see all my pics for the "Fair & Square" blocks, drop by my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #littlesnippetsfabric #bonnieandcamillefabric #bonnieandcamille #cottonway #thimbleblossoms #showmethemoda #modafabrics #fabric #fabrics #modalove #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqs #sewing #sewingproject #sew #sewalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife
  • I had to share this pic with you today, mainly because that magnolia tree in the background is magnificent! This picture doesn't do it justice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My neighbor, Mary, has the greenest thumb in the county. If I need a feel-good yard moment, I cross the alley to Mary's front porch, sit a spell, and soak in all the beauty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Seeing the gorgeous colors of her tree a little bit ago, I was reminded me of this project I finished ages ago!! The first block we did in the @fatquartershop Threadology QAL was an Ohio Star (February 1), and I was making NICU quilts for a group of women I quilt with monthly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I decided to oversize the Ohio Star block to make this NICU quilt and hadn't delivered it yet because I wanted to photograph it (and we were still having snow then). I located it buried under two quilt tops that are in line to be quilted. Thank goodness for the magnolia blooms reminding me with their similar colors as my quilt, otherwise, it might still be buried! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And in case someone hasn't heard of NICU, it means Newborn Intensive Care Unit - a nursery in a hospital that provides around-the-clock care to sick or premature babies. Now that I've remembered and photographed the quilt, I'll try to find my notes and put a tutorial for it on my blog this week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #rileyblakedesigns #carinagardner #fabric #fabrics #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #sewing #sewingproject #sew #sewalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife
  • Happy Friday! Yesterday I showed a hint of one of my recent projects and TA-DA! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sorry if you were hoping for a full size quilt, but it's 70 degrees ☀️ in Kansas and that makes it sooooo hard to stay inside and sew, lol! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THIS lovely block is the Union Square block, part of the @fatquartershop Classic & Vintage quilt block series. I wrote in detail about it on my blog today, including links for today's block, blocks from the entire series and info about everything else, so if you haven't been following along, drop by and learn more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My block will eventually be a pillow for my patio or bedroom. There's a chance of rain ☂️ this weekend, which means there might be a chance for a "finish" on this project. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Be sure to check out #fqsquiltalong, #UnionSquareQuilt, and #classicandvintage to see everyone quilting along - 20 bloggers! . . #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #quiltsofinstagram #bonnieandcamillefabric #bonnieandcamille #thimbleblossoms #cottonwaysstars #showmethemoda #modafabrics #modalove #sew #sewing #handmade #sewingproject #sewalong
  • I've been feeling very blue lately, ever since @thimbleblossoms did her latest sew along using a lot of navy and white fabrics. All that loveliness had me digging through my stash of fabric for similar colors to use in my latest project. Can't wait to share more with you tomorrow on my blog! #fqsquiltalong #UnionSquareQuilt #classicandvintage
  • There's something about the first day of the week, first day of the month, first day of the quarter....seems like everything is fresh and full of promise, especially when all those "firsts" land on the same day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today on the blog I'm sharing my Royal Star quilt blocks, number five in the @fatquartershop Threadology Quilt Along! Drop by and see the rest of my blocks as well as everyone else who is quilting along! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #littlesnippetsfabric #bonnieandcamillefabric #bonnieandcamille #cottonway #thimbleblossoms #showmethemoda #modafabrics #fabric #fabrics #modalove #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqs #sewing #sewingproject #sew #sewalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife

  • Anyone else fighting the urge to spend the day outside? The sun is shining, my tulips and hyacinths are starting to bloom 🌷🌷 and suddenly "inside" seems more of a chore than a pleasure. I'd take my sewing machine outside but all the cats would be too eager to help. 🐱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monthlymarker #spring #gardenfever
  • So... somewhere between this morning (when I originally wished everyone a happy Friday and posted this pic) it disappeared, I guess, because it's definitely not here, lol! Well, better late than never - Happy Friday everyone and hope you're ready for an awesome weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today on my blog we're all about the Churn Dash, because that's Block 4 of the @fatquartershop Threadology Quilt Along! I'd visit even more, but I just got home from a lovely day of shopping which included Target and Homegoods....time to unpack my bags, then head to the sewing room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Does anyone else look through all these gorgeous quilt pictures on IG and immediately want to start about a dozen new projects? And I wonder why I have so many UFOs... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #littlesnippetsfabric #bonnieandcamillefabric #bonnieandcamille #cottonway #thimbleblossoms #showmethemoda #modafabrics #fabric #fabrics #modalove #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqs #sewing #sewingproject #sew #sewalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife
  • I'm not sure how I managed to complete projects before the days of design boards, Frixion markers, and Alphabitties from the Fat Quarter Shop. They are just a few of the "must have" tools in my quilting toolbox. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are days I think about my grandma, and how she cut and pieced quilts every day. By hand. Cardboard templates, a pencil to outline a block, scissors to cut them.... she would LOVE rotary cutters and mats, not to mention the community of quilting together with people all over the world through the internet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (insert contented sigh) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am very blessed. I might not think that later if I'm pulling out the trusty seam ripper for something, but for now, it feels pretty good to be playing in my sewing room with all my cool tools, quilting along on block four of my Threadology quilt which I'll share on my blog tomorrow. Anyone else with some favorite quilting tools? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #makeawish #threadologyquiltalong #littlesnippetsfabric #bonnieandcamille #cottonway #thimbleblossoms #showmethemoda #modafabrics #fabric #fabrics #modalove #fatquartershop #fqs #fqsfun #fqs #sewing #sewingproject #sew #sewalong #quilt #quilting #quilts #quiltalong #qal #quiltblock #quilter #Quiltsofinstagram #makesomething #creativehappylife
