Linda’s Lunacy

Linda's Lunacy

This magnificent log cabin style quilt by Susan was made during a yearlong class at My Sewing Room.  I am truly amazed by the intricacy and do not know how she kept the pieces organized.  When I asked Susan the name of the quilt she said that she called it Linda’s Lunacy, after the instructor.  This beauty is for her master bedroom and the King-size bed which her husband made – sweet.  

Blowin' Wind Pantograph

We choose the Blowin’ Wind Pantograph by Jodi Beamish and Light Olive thread.

I was further amazed by Susan, when I delivered the quilt to her at a Friday Finishing School Class that I was coaching at Out of Hand and she sewed the binding on and finished quilting another rather large quilt on her domestic machine that evening and went home with two new quilts!

A quilt is something you make to keep someone you love...WARM!

 

Purple Paintbox Blocks

Purple Paintbox Quilt Blocks

In the theme of Purple for February in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge I have made eight Purple Paintbox Blocks, following Elizabeth Hartman’s Quiltalong.  I hope to have a whole set of these blocks by the end of the year.  As I was sewing these blocks I realized that I cut a couple of extra strips, I also found one more solid purple in my stash, so I hope to make a couple more blocks before the end of the month.

Scrap Management

I did a little more scrap management and cut various sized strips, a few five inch squares and some large and small tumblers.  Most of my scrap management cutting is done with my Go! FabricCutter, amazingly quick and easy. 

 If you live in Calgary and want to see the Go Cutter in action Out of Hand is offering a free demo/class on April 18^th called “Accuquilt Acumen."  In my class at Out of Hand called “Low Volume – High Impact” also in April, which is Go! Cutter friendly, you will actually get to give it a whirl.  Warning, once you have tried the Go! Cutter you will want one!  Click here if you want to see a picture of the Low Volume class quilt which I call Pieceful Rainbow.
