It seems I've neglected my new blog the past couple of weeks. I spent a fabulous 5 days sewing in Lake Tahoe -- just time with friends, sewing, eating, walking and did I say sewing? I sewed so much my 1934 Featherweight was smoking. Of course, this is not a good thing and I'll get it to a repair shop this week. I NEED that machine! It's so perfect for taking to sew days and classes.
We all made a scrap quilt as a group project. We brought scrap strips, put them in the middle of the table and sewed! This is a picture of us with our finished (and partially finished) projects. Two of us, myself included, didn't have our border fabrics yet.
This pattern was in a magazine from McCalls Quilting, Spring 2009, America Loves Scrap Quilts. It's Sonja's Windows, designed by Candace Hassen. There's a really cool technique used to make the blocks. I will definitely make another one of these quilts! I plan to quilt it myself using the water quilting design.
I also almost finished (didn't have enough border fabric) a scrap project using leftovers from this year's club project. We used Kaye England's Back Home Again fabrics for the quilt. I just ordered backing and border fabric to finish it.
This pattern is Olde Hickory by Pam Puyleart. The website is http://www.cottagecreekquilts.com/. I highly recommend this pattern too!
