pantograph this post should have been before the other one because i finished this quilt before i started the other one rhapsody is the panto and the batting is warm natural and the thread is permacore eggshell i am always surprised at how long this panto takes it really is time consuming but beautiful especially on floral quilts hope she likes it posted by ruthie at 9 13 pm no comments labels rhapsody pantograph new to me border quilting i finished this quilt today that was made by kathy she used to live here but moved to pennsylvania she ll be in indiana this coming week for our guild retreat at shipshewana i can t wait i tried something new to me in the borders they aren t quite all the same size but i think with practice i could like these i did 2 different flowers in the blocks and just meandered in the sashing around the signatures and quotes warm natural batting and permacore eggshell thread posted by ruthie at 9 01 pm no comments thursday march 20 2008 my 15 minutes of fame well here it is my very own 15 minutes of fame the current issue of quiltmaker s all time favorites special issue spring 2008 has two photos of my whiteout quilt on page 10 it s the quilt i made for a december wedding where the theme was snowflakes and we had a near blizzard that weekend posted by ruthie at 8 02 am 9 comments monday march 17 2008 hidden wells strip sets sandy asked if i had a photo of the strip sets used in my hidden wells quilt i don t actually but through the wonders of photoshop i can show you what they looked like my strips varied from 1 75 to 3 5 inches and when sewn together my sets were 14 5 inches from top to bottom my squares were cut 14 inches the first one i made was 9 blocks but this one which was a class sample only used 6 blocks as you can see the top and bottom strips create the most graphic diamonds in the quilt posted by ruthie at 1 56 pm no comments quilt smart apple core at the sewing seminar in noblesville in i purchased a quilt smart apple core pattern with fusible interfacing patterns one of my guilds is having a speaker this week from quilt smart so i thought this would be a great time to work on this project we have a fabric swap every other month and the last one was shabby chic there have been a few swaps in the past year or so that had lots of florals so that is what i m using for this one here is the background which i had a hard time just leaving it alone and not rearranging the fabrics won t actually be touching each other in the finished project so any amount of rearranging would be useless here are a couple of the finished apple cores i only have 47 more to do posted by ruthie at 11 10 am 1 comment labels quilt smart shabby chic stashbusting report 3 17 08 wow that little jelly roll i bought for the photo quilt has 2 5 yards of fabric so that has been my biggest purchase so far this year fabric added this week 2 5 yards fabric added year to date 5 375 yards fabric used this week 10

borders to my hidden wells quilt this week i loaded and quilted it friday evening using the rose vine panto again i used a poly batting on a small roll from joanns that was cheap it feels pretty stiff but i hope it will soften up when washed the first side of the binding is sewn down by machine and one side of the hand sewing is done this ufo from 2001 is on one of my ufo elimination lists for this month so i m going to finish it up in the next few days the instructions for this one are here i made my first one of these when i had just started quilting and didn t know to be afraid of bias edges posted by ruthie at 9 30 pm 3 comments labels hidden wells ufo friday march 14 2008 qov last night i was stuck on laying out the photo blocks so i turned out the light in the sewing room and loaded a qov quilt on the longarm sometimes you just need to walk away from something and focus on something else this is a really pretty quilt made by martha i used warm natural batting double rose vine pantograph and lilac permacore thread what a quick easy panto with great results i just love this simple panto for floral quilts posted by ruthie at 9 41 am 3 comments labels double rose vine panto qov thursday march 13 2008 photo quilt after janet left i started working on a photo wall hanging ordered by a co workers friend for his wife s birthday the wife is a quilter and an art teacher so i have to make sure this one is good when i asked him about colors and design this is how he replied she is a quilter and an art teacher sooooo i would say pinks purples and blues maybe a touch of green jewel tones the room where the quilt will likely hang has mauve carpet i think those colors would work so what i found is fresh air by chez moi by moda i didn t take a picture of the jelly roll but bren has some good shots of it on her blog i bought a jelly roll at cheryl s quilts across town on my lunch hour yesterday along with some eq printables this is what i have done so far i just love the clarity of the photos on these fabric sheets posted by ruthie at 8 34 am 1 comment labels eq printables photo quilt soldier quilts my friend janet finished quilting her soldier quilt last night and

busting sunday march 9 2008 pineapple blossoms thanks again to sossity s kit idea i finished putting together another quilt kit i saw on susie s blog last week a pineapple blossom quilt done in greens i couldn t remember where i saw it but found it now i knew that my green scrap tote was overflowing so i started cutting greens into 2 pieces in 3 lengths then i got out my white tan scrap tote i had all the 3 5 squares cut before i thought to take a picture here s the pile of white cream scraps waiting to be pressed and cut here is the after photo of that tote notice all the nice squares all cut up for the next project and the strips eady for string quilts posted by ruthie at 1 41 pm 3 comments thursday march 6 2008 the march challenge quilt i m not sure when exactly i cut the fabric for my online march challenge catch a spinning star one of julyl s free patterns but i would guess it was late at night i cut 6 squares that were supposed to be 5 25 x 5 25 like this they were cut 5 x 5 25 instead which wouldn t be a bad thing except when i was clearing off my cutting table i cut all those 2 black square s so i wouldn t have to put any back into my scrap totes i said a few choice words to myself last night and then went in search of more black solid which i found luckily in my black scrap tote it s not the same fabric but at least it s a solid black so i continued on making the blocks for this quilt i finished putting together 12 blocks and still had these left over i must have been really tired when i cut this one out i sewed the sashing strips together and put 8 of the 12 up on the design wall i really like this one and may make more blocks since i already have half of them sewn and make this a queen size posted by ruthie at 10 41 am 5 comments tuesday march 4 2008

for 2 she took it apart and sewed it back together for a quilt i echoed the shapes and did a squiggle around the blocks instead of sid due to the difference in fabrics posted by ruthie at 10 03 am 3

actually i haven t bloomington quilt show the quilt show on saturday was wonderful even though i didn t win a ribbon it was so exciting to see my quilts hanging there among the winners there is so much quilting on most of the winning quilts i think there should be a category for quilts with no micro stitching but bottom line they were beautiful it was a pretty crowded show and the isles are quite narrow so taking a straight on photo of my quilts was impossible i did get a couple shots just to prove that they were there posted by ruthie at 9 25 am no comments newer posts older posts home
