New quilt is coming along
Squares have been trimmed: And arranged one way: And then another: Trimming wasn’t planned, but a few squares turned out smaller than the others. Reason? Well, this quilt is made of all repurposed vintage linens which are almost always a blend. In my experience, they do not always like ironing. I do have my iron [...]
BB quilt and some pattern drafting
What have I been up to since I finished the Windmolen quilt? Couple of things… Firts, I made another quilt top using linen, repurposed sheets (not vintage), and some stash fabrics. This is the first time I tried the big blocks, kind-of random sized. I cal it the BB quilt, or my shabby chic quilt. [...]
Windmolen quilt – finished
Yes… it’s been a while. Since I have been here. And this quilt was finished a while back. It was finished on Friday, and Saturday it was out the door. I had literally 30 seconds to snap a few photos , and – oh, it happens all the time – the pictures did not turn [...]
windmolen quilt – 24 more blocks

windmolen quilt – a few more blocks…
I am starting to like this a lot. I did something today I said in the previous post I don;t do – I ended up picking combinations of fabrics for all the remaining blocks (and then some, I am not sure how big this is going to be – I would love it to be [...]
windmolen quilt
the beginnings… for my goddaughter for her first communion. she likes pink and red. her room is mostly pink. so I am going with red with some pink. that might change because I tend not to choose fabrics as I go when making a bigger quilt. I tried pulling all the fabrics first, but I [...]
take off your flanel pajamas…
and slip into something more springlike. Introducing… Flo cami… Ever since I first found sheets (vintage and not so vintage) with small print like this I have been thinking about turning them into sleepwear. I was trying to come up with the right pattern for a while, and finally came up with two. This is [...]
