Quilt Diary: Home for the Weekend

This is my first weekend home for a few weeks.  Looking at my November and December schedules, it looks like I will be home more than not for once.  This fall has been crazy busy with hockey tournaments.  We will be heading out again this weekend for a weekend of hockey in Long Beach!  Let’s get started on what I have been working on this weekend.

Quilt Diary: SAL Update

Coming to you from Denver today.  On the road for hockey with my grandson Shaun.  We are in day 2 of this tournament.  We have played so very physical teams and hard teams.  We managed to squeak out a win 3 out of 3 games.  Playoffs start this afternoon so I thought I would squeeze in a quick post between games since I didn’t post anything on Wednesday.  And that would be because Sunday the washer died and I ended up running around all over town to get a new washer and dryer by Wednesday so we could finish washing clothes for hockey.  Very little sewing really happened at the sewing machine.

Quilt Diary: A Year In Words-Autumn Finish for Quarter 3 FAL 2019

Woohoo!  Finally wrapped up this project that has been in my sewing room for over a year.  It felt good to hang it on the wall yesterday.  I absolutely love the hanger I purchased from Ackfeld Manufacturing a month ago.  I did not realized that the leaves were colored until I took it out of the package.  So nice!  My larger series, I usually buy one hanger for the series.  I haven’t decided if I will continue using this hanger for the whole series.  I originally bought the WELCOME hanger for this series but decided it was too many words.  We shall see.  For now, I am very pleased at the end result!  Here are a few more photos of the final process this week.

Quilt Diary: Mama Gypsy Update

Hi Everyone!  I finally finished all the blocks for the Mama Gypsy Quilt QAL that ended August 31st.  I liked this pattern and it is a great way to show off some special focus fabric.  This pattern was tooted a fat quarter friendly pattern, but I would have to disagree with that.  Yes you can use fat quarters, but do not expect to use just fat quarters and the background fabric for this entire quilt.  With the challenges of fabric placement that I faced in this pattern, I would be inclined to use fat quarters for all the large area blocks with some fat quarters from a fat quarter set, but the accents and diamonds that are formed, that is questionable.  I did not have enough diversity in one fat quarter bundle to do this nor could one fat quarter cut all four triangles.  Now pulling from your stash, that is a real possibility to use all fat quarters.  I ended up using my half-yard bundle to get a satisfactory layout.  I am very happy with my layout.
