Moda Challenge

Click here for the Just One Star campaign block pattern by Moda.  Read all about it here.

And here's the quilt pattern they are going to use.  Moda wants to have 100 quilts made by June 1st so that they can turn them in on Flag Day, June 14th.  Your block would be much appreciated as one of the 1800 they need.

Making Fleece Blankets with Crochet Edges

The demonstration is done with worsted weight yarn and a size G or H crochet hook. It is possible to use other weight yarn and a different size hook though, it just depends on what style you prefer.

Near Done quilts Soon on Way to New Homes

Judy Bello is making this for a grandson, I believe, who is at Humboldt. Is that right, Judy? A football player, he is going to love this quilt on his dorm room bed. Way to go, Judy!
Jan Mills has been working on this beauty for 30 years! Almost there and will be given as a gift this Christmas. We're proud of your perserverance, Jan, and in awe of your handquilting.

Birthday Present sent



My son's fiance had a birthday in October and here's the wall hanging I sent her. The blocks were salvaged from a bag of material bought at a yard sale. The quilt was in tatters, so I took the blocks apart and reset them into a smaller piece. Glad I did. This was a quilt as I go project.

And below is what the back looks like:

Once at Long Beach

One of the vendors was demonstrating Karin Hellaby's Sew Simple Pineapple. This is a great and easy way to make a non-traditional pineapple. I've placed it on the side bar. Give a watch: Amazing!
