by Kathie | Oct 16, 2020 | Home, New Pattern, Work in Progress

I'm still working on a quilt design with Deb Tucker's Signature Collection called "William's Garden," just released by Island Batik. In the last post, I made two sets of Shaded 4-Patch blocks, reversing the colorway to make the blocks a little more interesting....

UFO #7!

by Kathie | Sep 19, 2020 | Home, UFO, Work in Progress

I'm still plowing through my UFOs. Once upon a time, I took a class with Dianne Hire called Positive/Negative Scrollwork. This was a cool experiment on positive and negative space in quilt design. I had gotten as far as applying fusible to the fabric, cutting out...

UFO #5 and #6!

by Kathie | Sep 3, 2020 | Home, UFO, Work in Progress

This will be a quick post. I had two UFO's where the blocks were done, and all I had to do was to put the rows together and add borders. UFO #5 was a set of flying geese blocks that I bought at a UFO auction. $5 for 44 blocks - not a bad deal! So here are the...

UFO #4!

by Kathie | Aug 25, 2020 | Home, UFO, Work in Progress

UFO #4 is done! I bought a kit for the Diva Wallet at a quilt show, then tried to work on it at a retreat. Unfortunately, the kit did not have all the pieces and parts - so frustrating. I worked on other projects at the retreat, and the wallet ended up in the UFO...

UFO #3!

by Kathie | Aug 3, 2020 | Home, Work in Progress

Here comes UFO #3. I think this project was from a retreat in 2007, so 13 years ago. The reason this is a UFO to begin with is because it became a series of lots of little lessons. Every time I made a questionable decision on this project, I put it away until I...

UFO #2!

by Kathie | Jul 28, 2020 | Home, Work in Progress

I'm working on my UFO pile, and this time I grabbed a small pizza box from the pile. Yup, another oldie, but not as old as the vest. Inside the pizza box was a stack of blocks, some leftover fabric, a notebook, and a list of people. Aha! These blocks are from a...
