QUEEN’S CROWN #1 (Small quilt with beads – hand quilted)

QUEEN’S CROWN #1 (Small quilt with beads – hand quilted)

Comments 2 comments

Few of us think of embellishing quilts with beads. It is not practical. But I really wanted to try my hand at beading for embellishment with hand quilting. This pre-printed square was the perfect choice for this experiment. It is the Queen’s Crown #1 (small quilt with beads – hand quilted). I would later make another mini quilt using the same technique. Supplies: One pre-printed 18″ block from  https://www.quiltingstencils.com/  22″ piece of muslin for backing Batting to fit (I used a…

Prayerful Leader (a George Washington Quilt) started with a single leftover print block from another quilt. I built out from that block by framing the center block with borders until it was the size I wanted for a large wall hanging.

The alternate blocks are done from a soft looking small floral print on white background. I love chain sewing…

QUILTERS & TOLIET PAPER CRISIS

QUILTERS & TOLIET PAPER CRISIS

Comments 4 comments

Have you been in the stores lately? I recently made a rare shopping trip into town. Some stores were better than others, but there were some real holes in shelves where products should be. Apparently toliet paper (TP) is an item that is stuck on a ship in some harbor. That being said, quilters and toliet paper crisis should not go together. I can hear it from here – some of you are saying, “what is this crazy woman talking…
