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 [...]
New quilt sneak
Just a quick sneak… I just finished cutting those. Still missing white strips and squares.
New pillow…
It has been sitting on my desk waiting… first for backing (I ended piecing some leftovers because I was lazy to go shopping for more fabrics)… then for a pillow insert (it measures just a bit bigger than another pillow I made but the insert was just too small; couldn’t figure that one out). Finally… [...]
windmolen quilt – 24 more blocks
I had planned to blog about this quilt as a series – first 6 blocks, next 6 blocks… I actually photographed blocks in groups of 6 (and 12) as I was finishing them. But then… one weekend we went skiing. Then we… this and that… and the other… you know how it all goes. Good [...]
windmolen quilt – 6 more blocks
slow but steady. I keep reminding myself this one has to be finished soon. 6 more blocks, 2 favorites up close: This is not the order the blocks are going to be in the quilt. This is just the order I am making them in… The first six blocks…

I finished a cushion I started a few weeks ago. I actually quilted the top and then left it to figure out what I will do with the back of it. After all that thinking, I just made an envelope opening. Oh well. Sometimes the simplest is the best. I used white scraps of an [...]

“Toss it” finished
It has been finished for over a week now, but I could not get a decent picture of it. And then I did. But then the pictures wouldn’t get themselves off the camera. I started in back in January, finished the top a couple of weeks later, and then was sidetracked with another quilt and [...]
grid pillow
As I mentioned in the previous post, as of recently, I have developed a “thing” for vintage sheets. I like the colorful ones that I have seen around the blogosphere – those being used in quilts, aprons, skirts, little girl dresses… but I am also drawn to those with small flowers on white background. Especially [...]
