First Quilt and More Canning

On November 30, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Yesterday was spent canning beef for a friend and fielding phone calls from work. It looks like I'll be heading in to work early today! My coworker/friend has been talking about needing to make space in his freezer. My answer to that is canning! I like to keep meat canned for convenience meals, so I …

Four Patches

On November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I’ve been preoccupied with canning lately so I haven’t had much time at the sewing machine. But yesterday I couldn’t resist sitting down and making some four patches. Let’s see how these guys come together. I started by cutting a pile of neutral and brown 1 1/2” strips. I laid a neutral and brown strip …

Overflowing Strings

I started pulling fabrics for the Good Fortune quiltville mystery yesterday, but had a sudden realization that I have WAY too many strings that are begging to be turned into a quilt. I think Good Fortune will be put on hold while I come up with a way to make a dent in this corner …

Is anyone else behind the 8 ball for this years Quiltville Mystery, Good Fortune? I haven't even pulled my fabrics for it. The colors this year are so bright I am considering doing an alternative color scheme. I would like to use purples, I have a large stack of them! This weekend was spent canning …

Hexie Progress and Home Canning

On November 24, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I had a great week hunting with family and was able to "tag out" by harvesting two deer and filling both my tags. Along with all of the relaxing time in the deer stand, it gave me time to hand piece hexies! I got 9 done! I use 1" hexie templates. I probably could have …

Dear Jane Organization

On November 21, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn Uncategorized1 Comment

I started my Dear Jane Quilt in January of this year. I am making (very slow) progress on it between other projects. I am making her (scrappy!) out of civil war reproduction fabrics. What's great about Dear Jane is that every block inspires some quilt design in my head. With any long term project comes …

Prep Work!

On November 16, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Yesterday I spent some time cutting materials for hand work. This weekend is gun deer opener in Wisconsin and I'll be spending the season in an enclosed deer stand. I am lucky to have a heated deer stand where I can do some hand work while I watch the surrounding woods. I have an ongoing …

Yesterday was a busy day. I was off of work but had to head in for a court appearance in the afternoon. Afterwards I did some cleaning around the house and was able to get some sewing in before the husband got home. What I'm working on this week is getting borders on a Split …

Building a Fabric Stash

On November 14, 2018November 13, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I've built my current fabric stash over the last five years, starting with nothing and gradually adding pieces to the collection. I started out only buying fabric that I needed for a specific project but as I grew more in love with scrap quilting I started buying fabric just because I liked the color, or …
