Free Pattern Friday — Coxcombs and Currants, 2 Versions

Posted on May 27, 2016May 27, 2016 by Martha

Recently, I’ve been doing some traditional appliqué — a project with Lori at Humble Quilts that we are not quite ready to reveal. I always think of myself as more of a piecer, but working on these blocks has made me realize I’ve missed doing this type of appliqué. Anyway, since I kind of have appliqué on my…

Appliquéd Denim Coverlet — Edge Stitching

Posted on May 22, 2016May 22, 2016 by Martha

The denim quilt is moving forward slowly, because I’m working on 4 projects at once. They’re all very different, though, which is nice when I want a break from sewing through denim. It took way longer than I thought to match up each appliquéd block with a back. If I were only using one color of…

Free Pattern Friday — Kite Variation Quilt for Hand Piecing

Posted on May 20, 2016May 23, 2016 by Martha

For me, this pattern includes all the things that are enjoyable about hand piecing — curved seams, set-in seams, and an interesting design that works for a scrappy quilt, which is just about the only kind I make. This pattern was part of a large “quilting ephemera” lot I purchased at a tiny thrift store. I…

McCall’s Monday — Grace Snyder’s Flower Basket Petit Pointe Quilt

Posted on May 16, 2016May 16, 2016 by Martha

I came across this small article in a 1947 issue of McCall’s Needlework magazine, which sent me looking for more information about Grace Snyder and better photos of her quilt. These types of grid designs have always fascinated me, and I’m a huge fan of Anne Orr’s pieced quilt patterns. Grace, though, takes the grid idea…

She is just finishing up a gorgeous Dear Jane, and that is no small feat. Enlarge the photo to see the adorable prints and the teeny…

McCall’s Monday — Embroidered Bird Motifs for Kitchen Towels

Posted on April 25, 2016September 26, 2016 by Martha

Does your partner help with household chores? I am lucky to be married to someone who does almost all of the cooking and lots of other things I won’t mention, because you would begin to wonder what I contribute — besides quilts, of course. Anyway, it’s fairly unusual to see men (even bird men) participating…
