Blue and White Quilt

I was not blogging when the Blogger's Quilt Festival was last spring so I'm entering one of my quilts for the first time in the Blogger Quilt Festival Fall 2011. This is exciting to enter a quilt and not have to take or ship it and have to put a label and sleeve on either. This could be habit forming.
Since I was not on top of things, I do not have pictures of this quilt being made.
The pattern is a Winding Way, which intrigued me. All those curves was a learning experience.
I love two color quilts and especially blue and white. I'm a quilt maker more than I am a collector but I do have a few antique blue and whites and I'm always looking for more. But I do love making my own.

My good friend Pam and shop owner of Sager Creek quilted it for me and did what I love, just a traditional pattern. I love the look, perfect.

















I hope you like my quilt enough that maybe you'll try making one of your own. The curves were not that bad and especially when the pieces were cut on  an accurate cutter (?) It goes together so much easier.

  1. Winding ways is one of my all time favourite patterns to look at with longing. I'm just too chicken to take on the curves. Yours is one of the most lovely I've ever seen. Well done!

  8. Really impressive quilt. I don't really do curved piecing, but I probably should, it's so worth it for a quilt like this!

  19. So pretty! I love that pattern and it's beautiful in blue and white. It's one that's on my list to make eventually, but those curves have me a little scared. I think it might have just moved up the list a bit...thanks for the inspiration!

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
