Finish Your Quilt Guide. Stack n’ Whack Blocks. July 27, 2010. The past couple days I’ve been experimenting with stack n’ whack block making. This is a simple and fast fast fast way to make blocks. The blocks below finish up at 7 1/2 square but there are instructions at the bottom if you want larger blocks like in the orange quilt. You can also make these “wonky” like in the Baby Boy Bug Quilt. Start with two 8 1/2 squares. Make a cut 2 1/2 in from each side. Switch the center squares. Thanks for this...

How to Hang a Quilt Tutorial. Posted by Amy on January 18th, 2012. As I was hanging up some of my quilts recently, I was thinking that some of you might be interested to know how I’m doing this without any visible hanging mechanism showing. I learned this method from the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. And figured if it’s good enough for a museum, it’s surely good enough for me! And that you folks out there might like to know how it’s done as well. 1 Quilt with sleeve attached. Step three: Cut th...

Fairybread Quilts: April 2010
http://fairybreadquilts.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
I must *Finish* something. I *Will* finish *Something*. Monday, April 26, 2010. I've been doing this sashiko kit this week - it's nearly finished, just a few lines to go. What have I learnt? That I need to pay more attention to the crowded areas,. That I need to keep the thread twisted or it makes these thick open stitches,. And that it takes quite a long time to do. The lines printed on the fabric aren't all equal in length either. Thursday, April 22, 2010. It wasn't me in there, I swear! I have gained ...

Dream, create, share. Repeat. Quilting @ Sleepy Owl Studio. By Sandie on May 1, 2015. Some quilts just struggle to get made. This one has been a love/hate project from the very start. I took the class with Jacquie Gering. In May of 2013. A normal person would have followed the instructions, cut a reasonable number of blocks, pieced and framed them and then moved on. New technique learned and a box happily checked. So did I use that machine? Well….not much. It’s not the little Bernina ...A couple months a...

Fairybread Quilts: May 2010
http://fairybreadquilts.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
I must *Finish* something. I *Will* finish *Something*. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. The house next door finally arrived yesterday providing free entertainment to half the island. These photos are taken from my neighbour's deck across the road. As you can see it isn't finished, but the worst of it is done. It looks a lot better now that it's put together, and will be much nicer when it's all finished off. From my window today (yes it's raining again). Labels: house next door. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Looking for...

WIPs – The List. Finished: Play That Funky Music. August 14, 2015. August 14, 2015. This is possibly my new favorite quilt! There are sunflowers, batiks, yellow, awesome quilting, metallics — what more could a girl want? It all started with the sunflower print. Surprised? A few weeks ago. I whipped it out, made a quilt back, and got to work! I scoured the internet for FMQ designs so I could make each block different. Shall we explore some of these? The sunflowers are in a great modern leaf design. These ...

Why would anyone think it was stressful? Tackle one project at a time…OK, maybe two. Enjoy the process and the ritual. Give yourself permission to do things your own way.
