Since June I compelted quite a few more quilt blocks!  I’m posting them here now!

What do you do when you travel far away from your sewing machine?

Posted by: threadtogether on: June 11, 2011

Hello Friends – Well, I’m traveling these two weeks and here I am away from my family, and my sewing machine … what to do?  I’ve borrowed a friend’s machine, brought some pre-cut blocks to sew up and can’t wait to post them for you to see how I spent my weekend!  Sending out love [...]

Easter Apron Smock for MDFA (My Dear Friend A**)

Posted by: threadtogether on: May 7, 2011

OK, I absolutely know that it is 6 days after Easter and that MDFA is out of town right now.  But that won’t stop me from dropping it off at her house to surprise her when she gets back, along with a NEW COPY of Mix and Match Quilt Blocks.  It’s the rockin’ book that MDFA [...]

Hippie Quilt Block

Posted by: threadtogether on: May 7, 2011

Yes, I know there were no blogs forever and now it’s like a flood.  My day job consumes me most of the time and I only have time for sewing or quilting late at night or on the weekend inbetween gardening.  This was the first quilt block I ever made for someone else.  It was [...]

Blue Picnic Quilt Block

Posted by: threadtogether on: May 7, 2011

Another quilt block for my long-distance quilting bee.  This quilter’s theme is picnic and blue.  The name of this traditional quilting block is Navajo.  The center looks kind of picnic-ee (doesn’t it?)  It took some time to do those little bitty triangles but it was fun!  I can’t wait to see the finished quilt!

African Quilt Block

Posted by: threadtogether on: May 7, 2011

I love the long-distance quilting bee that I belong to.  The theme for this quilter’s block is African.  This was what came out of last Saturday’s creative time.  Hope she’ll like it!  It’s 9.5″ x 9.5″

Thread Together

Well, how did I come up with that?  It  just jumped out of my mouth.  And now that I’ve ‘percolated’ on it, I find that the meanings are endless.  You know the whole Drum-Circle thing?  As we drum we are one?  Well, I feel the same way about needle-craft.  Women (and some men) have been [...]

My First Sampler Quilt Block, “Variable Star”

Posted by: threadtogether on: March 12, 2011

My dear Friend A** (MDFA) has totally hooked me on quilting.  Yes, I love fabric, sewing, knitting, weaving and stitchery of all kinds.  So it was a natural leap.  However, I had previously thought, “what’s the big deal here?”  Now I’m thinking, “wow, I could get totally obsessed with this!”  So MDFA has been nudging me [...]
