It is time for another swap in my NOCCCD Classes in Cypress, Fullerton, Buena Park, Anaheim and Yorba Linda, CA. This time we are swapping Red Orange and Yellow Orange 8″ squares. And we are making this very cute 48 Carats quilt.
We have been taking it slow but at last we are ready to put together the Burgoyne block….
Umbrella, Ukelele, Universe, Umpire, University. All fabUloUs words, bUt they have nothing to do with qUiltmaking! So yoU will have to tUne in next week to see the whimsical representation of what U means to qUilters!
Here is a small pinwheel quilt. It is pretty and easy, really, with our Triangles 8 at a time method. And although I am showing it as Amish (Black with bright solids), you could make it in 1800s, batiks, 1930s or any fabrics YOU like!
Are you keeping up? We took last week off so hopefully you were able to catch up. This time around we are making the side units in the block.
This week, we have two things to represent T: Thimble and Thread: Tremendous Twin Tokens of T!
I did a post on Saturday about some gift items. That post was popular so I thought I would add some more items to that list.
Yep, believe it or not, it’s nearly THAT time of year again. And if you would like make at least a few handmade gifts, I have a few ideas to share!
I have had this quilt in the back of my mind for a while now. I have shown the first draft in class. When I started to play with it again, I thought “Whadiffi…”
I just spent the better part of an hour looking for a link to this fabulous sheet about Jane McCrea and her part in the American Revolution. I could not find it so I am posting it below.
