Grandma’s Flower Garden is the quintescient quilt pattern. So beautiful with all those neat little hexagons and so difficult with all those neat little hexagons! But how could I not include Grandma’s Glorious Garden as our G
block? This is surely a historic block and will undoubted enjoy continued popularity.
This is just FUN!
We had a roaring good time when we raced up to Ventura for our quilting retreat. I saw this antique quilt in a vignette at Roxanne’s Quilt Shop in Carpinteria and thought what a cute doll quilt it would make.
This is a variation of my City Blocks Quilt presented yesterday. It has been kicked up a notch with Sashing between all the patches, making it look completely different.
OOPS! I forgot to post the pattern earlier. I have added it now!
Here’s a fun little quilt (well, 48″ x 64″) that is quick and easy to make. My sample is made from terrific New York City fabric from CityQuilter.com. Check out that Bagel fabric!

Here is the next installment in our 2012 Block of the Week: The Quilter’s Alphabet. Doing a Block of the Week really marks the time… We are 13 weeks into 2012. That’s one-quarter of the year! Time does fly!
“Big Boy” the Tortoise is jumping out of this wall quilt and “Lookin’ for Love!” This popular Tortoise wall hanging pays tribute to our beloved California desert tortoise and all his adorable compatriots. It would be a great gift for the tortoise lover in your life.
The Postage Stamp quilt has a long tradition in quiltmaking going back well into the 1800s. Then, every scrap counted and nothing was wasted. That concept still applies for quilters today. So dig through your scrap bag and/or swap some with friends to create your own bit of history. (more…)
Charlotte, a class member and great quilter, offered to show us her favorite method of mitering the corners of our Applique Border on the Spring Medallion Quilt. This is a great method and Charlotte has done a wonderful job with her instructions.
Here is our 12th Block of the week in the 2012 Quilter’s Alphabet Series. How could a quilter think of the letter F and not think about the sweet Fan Block or of that wonderful quilter’s aid… Paper Backed Fusing!
Two Yards, Two Fabrics, Two Hours, Too Fun!
This BIG tote is easy and fun to make. And it’ll hold two Quilts… At least!
