Spell It With Fabric – Day 8

Forgot to post this picture yesterday.

Spell It With Fabric – Day 7

Design Wall Monday 2-24-2014

Poppy Seed Bagels

Can you believe that I didn’t go into the quilt room, or down to the longarm, all day long?  Here’s part of what I did do … here are three of the bagels boiling in some water with a bit of sugar.

And here are six of the bagels that have been sprinkled with poppy seeds and baked. 

They are made with regular AP white flour (King Arthur of course).  The darker color comes from the molasses that I use instead of sugar in the dough.

Spell It With Fabric! – Days 4 & 5

Didn’t get my letters done on Thursday, so I had to catch up on Friday.

Fussy Cut Friday

Only got one star done tonight for Fussy Cut Friday.

Spell It With Fabric! – Day 3

And here are my blocks for day 3.

Two panels at once!

Awhile ago, not really sure when specifically, I purchased TWO identical panels.  They’re from Moda, and are just so cute.  My plan was to give one to a friend and do one for myself.  I finally loaded them onto the longarm frame on Monday and am treating the pair as one single quilt.  I’m using the same backing fabric (a navy blue star print) for both.  I selected a sort of antique brown thread from my So Fine! drawer to do some meander stippling across both.  When done, I’ll cut them off of the machine – take them to the quilt room where I can cut them apart precisely and then bind each one with some 1.75” single-fold binding strips. 

One more pass on Wednesday and they’ll be ready to come off the longarm!

Red & White Block Swap 2013 (2/12/2014)

Finished up the red & white block swap quilt.  It went through the washing machine with about 4 color catchers (just to be safe), and now it’s hanging at the top of the stairs!

I’m not overly thrilled with the picture – but it’s too cold to be running around out in the snow when it’s below 20 degrees.  Maybe at some point I’ll be able to get a better photo.

Here are a couple of the photos from when it was on the frame … obviously the blue marking pen hadn't been washed out yet.

I turned the lights off on the second one so you could see the texture a bit better.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Finished up this Valentine’s Day wall hanging last night.  It was a free pattern from the Temecula Quilt Co.’s blog.

Mama Said Sew Zipper Quilt

A cute lap quilt using the Zipper Quilt pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co.’s latest YouTube video.  I used the Mama Said Sew line from Moda, along with some Moda solids.

Another star!

Aurifil BOM–Block 2

A row of hearts this afternoon … and another fussy cut star this evening

 

Read somewhere on the internet about using the “ladder stitch” to assemble the fussy cut stars.  Tried that method tonight when assembling this brown floral star.
