Yes! I’m already done with my blocks for October in the Fat Stash Bee. October was April‘s month. She asked us to do a garden fence block following this tutorial. I love her fabric selection for her quilt. Here is the ones I received. Both are linen/cotton blends. They have a really nice texture. […]
I finished up my large floor pillow covers today. Just in time for Fall. I realize that yesterday while working on assembling them. I had seen this beautiful wall quilt in the Fresh Modern Quilts group pool on Flickr earlier in the day. It’s a quilt by Jolene Klassen from the Blue Elephant Stitches blog. […]
I’ve completed my 1st quilt with some of the blocks I got from the Fat Stash Bee for my month. I’m pretty happy with the result. As I said in a earlier post, I used a meandering pattern for the quilting. I like the way it turned out. It was my first time at it. […]
For the month of September, we were asked to do a block from the Freshly Peced blog: “Hexing Around Block”. It consists of an hexagon with four concentric rings. We were provided the center piece and were asked to do the rings in four complementing colors. We were also provided with an FQ of a […]
Furoshikis for Holiday gift wrapping!, Already! you’ll say. Well, the Holidays are not that far away. Last year, me and my sister found some nice Christmas cotton prints. We decided to make some Furoshikis to sell on Etsy. But, by the time we ordered the fabric, received it and actually made the furoshikis, it was […]
June has passed and even though there was some delay due to the strike at Canada Post, I received all my blocks from the Fat Stash Bee. I got all my blocks and much more: 20 in total. Thanks to everyone in the bee for your generosity. I had asked to do crazy scrappy blocks […]
I bought this nice fabric from Moda almost one year ago now. It’s from the Harvest collection from Blackbird Design. I thought the colors would look great in our living room. And the print is like a page from a bird encyclopedia. I didn’t get a chance to use it until recently. I’ve decided to […]
This month block was really fun to do. Sarah wants to do a Confetti Block Quilt like shown in the book Block Party– The Modern Quilting Bee (take a look at their blog for more info). As a framing fabric, she provided us a fabric with a yellow print instead of white. It is a […]
For July, we were provided some photos as a source of inspiration. We were asked to use fabrics colors that remind us of the outdoors (grass, sky, sunrise, wildlife, etc). Sharon is doing a quilt for her husband. She asked us to think Old West, prairie, sunrise/sunset, ranch-y and she provided us a blue FQ. […]
I’m finally done with this project I started back in April (see previous post). It is three patchwork blocks that I decided to mount on stretcher bars (which are usually used for oil painting canvas). The first and central block is a wonky log cabin with a screen print I’ve done on fabric for the […]
