Mini Sew-Together Bag

Woohoo!! It’s a Mini Sew Together Bag! A Mini Sew Together Bag has two pockets and is smaller than its big sister.

Basic String Piecing • First Monday Sewday Lesson (and a few other things)

This month’s First Monday Sew-day Lesson was on teaching the newbie quilters about String Piecing, or Strip Piecing, or whatever you want to call it, but it involved laying out a shape on paper, arranging fabric and stitching through the paper.

My hands are now free-er than they were a week ago (and I’m even typing more, rather than dictating) but it’s still a slog for a long while. So, this… Continue reading Liberty USA Mini Quilt, 3

Liberty USA Mini Quilt, 1 (along with some “slow quilting”)

February 11, 2017March 14, 2017 Elizabeth E.16 Comments

I have always wanted a patriotic mini-quilt, so before surgery, I prepped up these little stars, fused them down to 2 1/2″ squares of fabric and stitched them together in a block. I figured I could stitch on them while healing. I would use some of those pearl cottons I’d collected while doing Oh! Christmas Tree,… Continue reading Liberty USA Mini Quilt, 1 (along with some “slow quilting”)
