This and That

Sometime back I made the decision to let my website go. In many ways I miss it but the cost just didn't justify it. So I decided to revise my old Blog and see what I can do to make it work for me and maybe you.

It has been a very long time since I've updated my blog. Much has happened but I believe the time has come for me to rejoin the quilting community and peresue what I love. Stay tuned, hopefully more to come soon. Robin

Pretty in Pink

Last summer I taught a new tutorial of mine to a group of friends in Las Vegas.  I called it All Roads Lead to Las Vegas.  I then taught it to a group of friends at a Big Bear Retreat and called it All Roads Lead to Big Bear.  While in Big Bear I started working on this quilt using a layer cake of Kaffe Fassett fabrics that are primarily pinks or in the pink family. 

I finished it while at a retreat in Temecula (maybe that makes it All Roads Lead to Temecula?).  Vivs at Bears quilt shop added the quilting for me and this week I completed the quilt by adding the binding. 

Here’s is my original sample, a giant floor pillow.

I love them both.  I just may need to make another one.  Maybe queen size next time.

Christmas Placemats

My friend Pat and her husband Jim deliver Meals on Wheels once a week.  Several of us thought it would be really nice if we made Christmas placements that can be delivered to some of their meal recipients. 

I decided to make 4 of them and here they are. 

I used a simple stitch and flip method so I didn't have to add any additional quilting. I also used my faux piping binding to finish them.  I think they came our really cute and hope they bring a smile to others.

Fabric Bouquet - Block 8 - Pat Sloan

It's that time again.  Time to post my week 8 block.

I like this one even though it's a whole bunch of half square triangles. 

Now it's time to get back to cleaning my sewing room.

Catching up - Pat Sloan Fabric Bouquet

For some reason blogging has gotten away from me.  I’m not sure where I left of but this is an attempt to get caught up.
 
Pat recently released 2 different layouts for her block of the week “Flower Bouquet”.  Since she shared how to sew the 1st 5 weeks together (1/4th of the quilt), I decided to do just that.  Here it is.

I have so much fun working on this every week.  Thank you Pat Sloan for all you share with us.

Enjoy,
