Paper pieced blocks

The second block I picked for the Fandom in Stitches quilt-along was much more involved, lots of tiny pieces and lots of pieces overall. It took quite a look time to make and also quite a few times of unpicking because I had used the wrong colour or pieced the wrong section together. But it is finally done, here is the droid D-0, 

Week 2 was about Doctor Who and I picked Tardis, again an intricate block that I haven't yet finished. Week 3 is about The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, hitting on popular shows for this house (well not for me though!)

While working on this new project, I also retrieved a project that I pushed away last year. I had plenty of sub-pieces done for the Sewing Studio banner I started in March last year. When I got all the pieces out again, I realised I had quite a lot of sections completed, so I decided to assemble them and then to finish those that were nearly there. It is nice to now see it take shape. Plus there aren't that many pieces I need to make to be able to finish this mini quilt. Let's hope it doesn't get pushed away again!

    Your banner is so close to finish. I hope you keep it up. You really must have worked hard to piece the D-O block. It's rather amazing. Enjoy you week.

    J'dore ton D-O ! Effectivement, c'est un bloc qui semble bien compliqué, avec plein de petites pièces. Jolie bannière aussi, et presque terminée ;-)
    Merci pour t'être connectée à la link party aujourd'hui !

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.
