Back to The Wanderer’s Wife
On January 6, 2023 by PamAfter a short break for a Christmas project, we are working VERY hard to complete this quilt. The pattern is not easy to follow and it has become a “make it work” job. I have worked hard to use up as many scraps as I can for this project – and I have used up
Holiday (or Winter) Placemats
On December 12, 2022 by PamAfew years ago, I made a set of placemats – I basically sewed a rectangle with some batting in between, turned it right side out, did a finishing seam around the edge and pressed it – pretty straight forward and a great way to start. This year, our quilting group was looking for a little
The Modern Quilt
On November 27, 2022 by PamTraditional quilts rely on a grid of regularly repeating designs, symmetry, sashing, borders, often complicated patchwork, and simple quilting. In contrast, modern quilts go off the grid and use asymmetry, less fuss, minimalist designs, and a more improvisational style with unusual arrangements of blocks and settings. This quilt is for a young couple – with
A Snuggly Flannel Blanket (that is easy to make)
On November 12, 2022 by PamA couple of years ago, I made a “rag”quilt for our uncle. I have posted the link below: https://noroom4phonies.com/2021/10/22/rag-quilt-for-uncle-walt/ I love these cozy blankets because they are layers of felt, with batting of any thickness in between and they are easy to make and a great gift (which these blankets will be this Christmas).

On October 6, 2022 by PamLife has been a little crazy lately but we are managing to put our quilts together. Is it easy? Well, it is challenging and fun! The strips of fabric that are part of the design allow you to “make it work” because you can add or subract a strip, make it thinner or thicker…whatever is
The Shop Hop
On July 23, 2022 by PamThis year, Heather came up with the VERY fun idea of participating in the Shop Hop.

At each store, you received a quilt block and when you have them all, you
My Super Huge Sampler Quilt is Home
On July 10, 2022 by PamStitcharie Quilt Shop did an outstanding job on my quilt – the batting is pure wool and they did it in record time and at a VERY reasonable price. I am now working on the binding. I have completed the machine sewing of it (see my post on the Flat Iron case for a tutorial
Flat Iron Travel Case
On July 6, 2022 by PamIt is always fun to try something new and this project was a request from a friend – for her mother-in-law. We first had a fun discussion about it being a travel case for a FLAT iron and not a CLOTHES iron and I credit my friend Jayde for finding this pattern. It is simple
