the quilts are laid out and ready to be sewn together with some scissors

So I volunteered to run the block lotto at the Toronto Modern Quilt Guild. And I said I would make a video to explain it all. I thought it would take 2 days, three max. Two weeks later I published my video. I'm not sure what I was thinking having no experience making a video. The minute I started I knew I was in trouble. It was as boring as watching paint dry. It was awful. The footage of making the blocks was painful to watch.I'm sure if I hadn't been on the hook with the guild for a…

Last Fall, you may remember, I participated in the South Carolina MQG Mini Quilt Swap. My swap partner requested purples, greens and navy. One of her favorite fabric designers was Jessica Swift. I really didn't have a lot of purple in my stash and I wasn't familiar with fabric designer, Jessica Swift. So I decided to purchase Jessica's latest line of fabric to make my partner's quilt. Once the fabrics arrived and I started sewing with them, I completely fell in love with the fabrics and…

Yay a quilt reveal! This is my economyblock quilt. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.... ..more details below. I began making this quilt to join in with the whole economyblock along, having failed to join in with the trip around the world quilt along. I thought it would be a good way to eat up my scraps, so this quilt give or take a few sweet fabrics is entirely made from old fabrics or remnants. I really wasn't too fussed on fabric selections, I just made sure I chose ones…

The blocks were mostly made from my scraps and although I used quite a lot of them, I think I still have enough to make another, but I won't! I quilted it with straight lines…

So there are definitely benefits of being on “blog hiatus” for a few months……I have tons of projects that I’ve been working on that I haven’t told you about yet! I got completely caught up in the Economy Block Along craze that took over Instagram back in JENuary. Did you see it? Did you get pulled into the vortex too? I planned on making a mini-quilt but I became so obsessed with fussy cutting center squares and picking the perfect fabrics for the outer squares that it seemed to grow…
