This top is done. I worked steadily on the sashing and connecting 9 patches Wednesday afternoon, and started back early Thursday a.m. Around 2 p.m. I had sewn on the last corner. Big quilts can take a long time to sew together. This was the first time my design wall had been empty since October, and I was reluctant to put it back up even for pictures.

Scrappy Quilts, Comforters & Free Pattern
The Scrappy Hurricane Quilt
While hurricane Irma hit the southern U.S., I sewed nine patch blocks from my table scraps. There was so much going on in the scrappy hurricane blocks I felt the quilt needed somewhere calm to rest the eye. I laid this up on the wall during a sewing day here in the studio, but have since rearranged several times. I allow layouts to hang, and switch blocks around over many days until I like the feel of it. If time permits this week, I will make the sashing from 3 strips: white, cerulean blue grunge, and white. I am also considering an outer border, but will be happy to just get the blocks assembled at this point.

Charity Chain Quilt Pattern Free & Easy
Pink Doxie's Charity Chain
Quilt and Free Pattern
This pattern came out of a 'play session' I had while cutting up fabric for a charity quilt. While not a true Irish Chain pattern, it's simple and sweet, and a fabulous scrap buster. I've made it here in prints for the blocks and a solid background, but I'm just as eager to try it with a busy background and solid blocks. The dimensions are easy as pie, and very beginner friendly. I'll show you how to make one section, and you will need 3 sections for a quilt.
You will find it's so easy you can make one for yourself, and another for a charity donation in no time.

Free Easy Charity Quilt Pattern : Day 13
Close Up of Variation of a Nine Patch
"The Houses On Cherry Ridge"
Our kitchen table has been covered in these fabrics for a few days. I cut and sewed, cut and sewed all day. These are all fabrics donated to me this week, and I've added a few more from my own charity pile. My goal was to take a chunk out of the pile while testing out some new ways to configure a nine patch. This one is simple to cut, and simple to sew.

Be Mine Valentine! Pet Project Show #6
Happy Valentine's Day!
Remember all the Valentine parties
when we were kids?
Lots of sweets and paper,
and decorated boxes.
My grandmother was a saver,
and saved these wonderful
Valentine's of my father.
Most are from the late 1930's
into the early 1940's,
but I suspect a few are mixed in
from around 1910 which
were Grandma's own.

My Valentine's Gift for You

when you've never met most of them,
and many live on the other side of the world?
Hmmm?
