Sew Red For Women: Block 9

Here is the 9th block. Here is the link to the tutorial.






This block was quite fun to make. It had some HST's, some geese, etc. I somehow ended up with 2 kits for this block, so I may end up making another one!

A Joy Christmas Quilt

I have a new quilt in progress: it is made from Kate Spain's Joy collection:


I am using the following quilt as inspiration:


The original features Jingle Collection by Ann Kelle.

The quilt is coming together really fast, and is really fun to make. I started yesterday by doing all the math, and at this point I am about to do the final ironing and sash!

Another Quilting Bee Block


I made another block for Melissa using this tutorial. The had us not do the diamond in the middle, and the final size was 24.5"x24.5". These blocks really remind me of swoon blocks. I like how it turned out. Melissa sent us all the fabric, except for the gray circles on white background. She wanted the block to be very light, with creams, grays, and ivory. The print I added is Sweetwater's Mama Said Sew collection.


I cannot wait to see what the final result looks like!

Summer Sampler Block 10: Evening Star

I finally decided to go back to these blogs after a long hiatus. Here is the link to the tutorial. I had missed paper piecing, and I was quite happy with the result.


I have 2 more blocks left to make, and a few extras to make the size I want. Yay!

Sew Red For Women: Block 8

Here is block 8:


The instructions actually were for making 2 blocks (and the kit had enough fabric to make 2), so I made 2. Here they are next to each other:
