Quilt-along and new ideas/projects

I am not sure I REALLY need new projects, but temptation is so high and I am so weak :-)

In case you have missed these, Nina is hosting a Tokyo subway map quilt-along based on Elizabeth Hartman's pattern made of 1600 squares of fabric! This one has been on my wish list since we went to Tokyo years ago so I will try to join in.

and Angie is hosting a quilt-along based on the New Farmer's Wife book out this year. I must confess I ordered the book to join her :-)

This one will start on 28 September, plenty of time to gather supplies and get the book which is sold out in plenty of places actually. There is also a quilt-along on Kerry's blog for the same book too.

This one will start on 14 September so I supposed it is possible to follow both quilt-alongs to get even more productive!

And finally while at the Festival of Quilts, I signed up for the Susan Claire from the Gourmet Quilter Block of the Day Town and Country Quilt starting on 1 January 2016. Maybe that will make a dent in my batik stash!

Go and check out the details on their blog if you want to play.

    I'm not sure whether to blame you or praise you ... I didn't know about a new QAL for the Tokyo Subway Map until I read your post this morning. I saved all the directions when Elizabeth Hartman shared them as part of the original QAL and told myself "some day ..." and now the idea is seriously tugging at me to join. See you there?

    Hello :) Thanks for mentioning this! The schedule will accomodate lots of other sewing/quilting, seeing as we are nearing the end of the year with possible season's gifts to make, and so on. I'll launch the QAL tomorrow, welcome to stop by!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
