Sometimes I still quilt. Actually I have fully embraced the knowledge that I am a Process Quilter and not a Product Quilter. I enjoy making things. I don’t care about the finished product at all. On the plus side, that […]
Raspberry Kiss
I finished a quilt top! I checked the blog and I started this in January 2016. Honestly, I thought it was older than that. I had bought a FQ bundle of this Birds of a Feather fabric line. I usually […]
Big Kiss Quilt
Over the weekend I saw a quick quiltalong on Instagram. It was for the Big Kiss Quilt. I wanted to make it because it is great for showing off fabrics that I bought because I loved the pattern. Then I […]
Blogging from A to Z – F
Facemasks I’ve bowed to necessity and started to make some homemade face masks. I have a very limited supply of surgical masks at work. I decided to make some for home use. This is the pattern I used.  They […]
Blogging from A to Z – D
De La Prominade One of my quilting works in progress is a pattern called De la prominade. It is from Quilt Fusion. I don’t usually buy a lot of patterns but I loved this one from the moment I […]
Flamingo Quilt
We have a finish! I know, I know, I can’t believe it either. I’m a fan of Elizabeth Hartmann’s animal patterns. I’ve made the hedgehog and the fox and the whale. I really liked the flamingo pattern too.  About a […]
Monthly Sewing Update
 2019 Color Challenge This month’s block colors are shades of blue again. On Ringo Lake I quilted the first section of this one. I’m using an overall bubble stencil but I can’t see it very well so I’m […]
Monthly Sewing Update
Oh my gosh! I’m doing so good. I’m actually sewing on a regular basis. Mind you, I’m bouncing project to project so I’m in no danger of actually finishing anything but progress is being made on the major WIPs I […]
Monthly Sewing Update
It worked! It worked! I sewed so I would have something to say here.  True confession time. I didn’t finish the whole post last time before it autoposted in January. I meant to list all the WIPs (Works in Progress) […]
Monthly Sewing Update
I’m making this post in a fit of optimism on January 1. It is going to be a monthly update on what I’m sewing. The idea is that if I don’t have anything new to say at this time each […]
The Pineapple Quilt
About a month ago one of my coworkers asked me out of the blue if I had finished any quilts lately. I was offended. She knows better. She knows I only start quilts and then they live half-done forever in […]
How to Make the Ironing Board of Your Dreams
I am lucky enough to have a dedicated sewing room in my basement. When we moved in I wanted to get some storage built. The husband found someone to do it. The plan was brilliant if I do say so […]
WIP Wednesday
Look! I’m sewing. I mean, sure, I list quilting as one of my major hobbies but I hadn’t been doing much of it. Recently I started working on two projects out of the gazillion I have in pieces in my […]
Preppy the Whale Baby Quilt
I finished another quilt. That’s 2 in less than 30 days. I know, I’m shocked too. Of course this one had a hard deadline or it wouldn’t have happened so fast. The pattern for the whales is Preppy the […]
I Made a Quilt!
I actually finished a quilt. I know, I was amazed too. I have hardly been doing any quilting this year. I decided to make a quilt for my OTSP Secret Sister. Of course my quilt timeline went like this: January […]
WIP Wednesday
I actually made some progress on my Raspberry Kiss blocks. Are you shocked? I know I am. I’m not one for follow-through in my quilting. I got a few hours of sewing in this week and now have this many […]
Quilting 2016
I was a complete quilting slacker in 2015. Thank god for people having babies (words which have never before been uttered on this blog and will probably never be heard again) or I’d have never gotten anything made. This was […]
The Hedgehogs are Done
You are about to see something that you hardly ever see on this blog – a finished quilt. Hedgehog quilt finally hanging up. #hedgehog #quilt #ohfransson A photo posted by @dvmheather on Dec 5, 2015 at 5:23pm PST I’m […]
WIP Wednesday
It has been forever since I did a quilting post – mainly because it has been forever since I’ve done any quilting. Remember how in the spring I decided I was going to make a sparkly hedgehog quilt to hang […]
Actually Sewing
Prepare to be shocked. I’ve actually done some sewing. I’ve made a few hedgehog faces for my Christmas quilt. My mother gave me a bunch of my grandmother’s fabric. I want to make a quilt for my mother with her […]
