Over the past while, I’ve been sorting through my batiks stash and found a great use for small pieces. With a piece that’s 5.25″ x 5.75″, I can print enough of the .50″ hexagons to make two flowers. When I … Continue reading

Tiny Drunkard’s Trail
Ten more little 2″ drunkard’s trail blocks were made last night for the mini quilt. There are only 3 left to make. With any luck I’ll have those finished tomorrow night and may even get the little top stitched together. … Continue reading
Drunkard’s Trail
Yet another project in a box, although this box is anything but full. The pieces are so tiny that it would take hundreds of them to fill this box. Lots of the shapes are printed on fabrics but yet to … Continue reading
A Summer Picnic
The summer picnic dish quilt, that is. Remember this one? This is so much fun to put together that I found myself really wrestling with the idea of working on it last night instead of the red and white border. … Continue reading
Monet Block 3
Stitching a New York Beauty block was my reward last night. This one is going in the Monet NYB quilt. My reward for what? For finishing one more of the pieced blocks for the red and white quilt border – seven … Continue reading
Beginnings of A Third New York Beauty Quilt
This one doesn’t fit in with the Monet blocks or the Tiffany Lamp blocks, so is clearly the beginning of a third New York Beauty quilt. What it will be called, I have no idea at this point. All I … Continue reading
Second Monet Block
I managed a little stitching time last night. And got another block done for the Monet quilt. That’s 2 now for the Monet quilt and 16 for the Tiffany Lamp quilt. About 10 days ago I was reorganizing fabric … Continue reading
New York Beauty, Version 3
So much for me not getting distracted this week. A third variety of Inklingo New York Beauty blocks was released yesterday. When I saw those super skinny spiky points, I was lost. Absolutely and totally lost. Super spiky points and … Continue reading
New York Beauties in the Pink
Some pink had to be added to the NYB fabrics I’m working with. First a NYB Collection 1 block with a little pink. I think this one will end up in the Tiffany Lamp quilt or … well, see below. … Continue reading
Weekend Plans
First up, some Inklingo Cheat Sheets filled out so I can sort out what sizes of freezer paper I need to cut. Then I can print more of the New York Beauty shapes on the fabrics I’m using for these. I had some pieces of fabric that were already cut so they’re behind the cheat sheets but there is more to come. It’s the weekend, so this is my play time for the NYB blocks and who knows what else. Maybe a log cabin block, maybe some more of the tiny Drunkard’s Trail, or perhaps the 2″ Drunkard’s Path. The shapes for those last three are already printed on the fabrics I’m using, so it will be easy to pick up some of them.
I’m saving the strips from grading the seams of the NYB blocks in this little glass jar. It’s getting very colourful and will be even more so by the time I’m done, although I have a feeling I’ll need to use a larger jar.
The big book box has lots of shapes already printed and cut out, ready to stitch.
The laptop is charging now as I want to play with a couple of design ideas in EQ, but hopefully out on the roof garden. The battery on my old laptop doesn’t hold a charge as long as it used to, but I think it’s good for about an hour of play. So those are my quilting plans for the weekend. What are yours?
While we were taking the pictures, Baxter was determined to get the jar lid.
