Something Special
I’m working on something very special this week. And it’s going to be spectacular!
Fanciful Floral FourSquare – June Orange Blossoms – Quadrant D
Okay! Here is the last quadrant of our June block. Predictably, Summer is now in full swing and we are having a string of 90+ days here in SoCal. How’s the weather in your neck of the world? Time to turn on the fans (or the AC!) and start sewing!
Free Patterns from the Quilt Shops of the Central (CA) Coast –
The quilt shops of the central California coast have a great page of free patterns, but it is only available til Friday June 28, 2013. Check out the adorable Otter pattern!
A Good Mystery!
Don’t you just love a good mystery? Whether its a classic old movie or a hot new quilt(!), it will lead you through twists and unexpected turns to a surprising conclusion!
Fanciful Floral FourSquare Block Orange Blossoms Quadrant 3
Soon Summer begins and with it comes images of sunshine and friendship, sweet hours of shared fun and some free time! So, sew up a storm! We are nearly half way through our Fanciful Floral FourSquare blocks and Summer is the perfect time for you to catch up! Note to SoCal Readers: The Quilt Run […]
Free Patterns At Craftsy
Oh BOY! Have you been to Craftsy? I am just loving it! Craftsy is the site with lots of information about crafting. They offer fabulous on-line classes with top flight instructors in each field.
Nautical Tumble Extra! Ship’s Bell
Note to my Muckenthaler Students: Our June 18 meeting is at the Anaheim Campus 1830 W. Romneya (Near Euclid) Room 402B Anaheim, Ca. Here’s an additional Nautical Tumble Applique Block (Somehow we only had 12!) This handsome bell could grace the deck of any ship and toll out the long hours on the wide ocean.
Fall Project: Lava Lamps
Our friend, Ray (of Ray’s Finds) has a small collection of Lava Lamps. Recently he shared a pic of a new acquisition to the collection with us. I was struck by the iconic, unusual and FUN shape of these retro throwbacks to a barely bygone era! So I immediately thought: Quilt Block!
Nautical Tumble: Assembly
The time has finally arrived. Whether you are cutting your Nautical blocks to the Tumbler shape or leaving them whole, it’s time to start assembling your blocks.
Fanciful Floral FourSquare Week 22 Orange Blossoms B
Last week, we did the first portion of this block with the BlueBird. Now we do the second quadrant featuring a big Orange Blossom.
