Tag Archives: True Blue Block. Yikes I think it has been a week since I wrote a post. My routine got all turned around and all of a sudden a week passed by. (Were you sitting and waiting anxiously for another amazing read on Needle and Foot? My apologies for the wait! As things often do, one project led right into another. I have been making blocks for the eighth row of the Classic Stitches BOM. Was the perfect inspiration. And now a row of True Blue blocks (that are gray instead of blue! Finally, I leav...

Classic Stitches BOM | Needle and Foot
https://needleandfoot.com/tag/classic-stitches-bom
Tag Archives: Classic Stitches BOM. Oh, how I love this finish! Overall, I absolutely adore this quilt. I love the bright, crazy, scrappy look, the traditional blocks that change row by row, sampler style, and the quilting that I did on each row. It was a great experience for me in a couple of different ways. Oh yeah. So by sashing them, I was able to deal with a lot of those issues. Cutting 60″ rows of sashing allowed me to ease the rows in and deal with any rows that were slightly longer ...I had a gre...

Downieville Progress | Needle and Foot
https://needleandfoot.com/2015/07/30/downieville-progress
We just got back from a long weekend in Downieville. It is finally starting to come together! Remember we bought this little bungalow on the river last November? Ray had a helper when he installed the crown mouldings. You can see there are two more windows to replace (on either side of the alcove.) Ray hasn’t decided exactly what he wants to do there so that project is on the back burner for now. Here it is now! Gorgeous, isn’t it? Did you see that cute chair in the picture above? It looks so cute in the...

Taming the Yellow Beast. The beast has been tamed. The pile of oversized yellow fluff has been transformed into a cozy bathrobe at last. I received so much encouragement after that last post that I decided to dive back in and take control of that yellow monster. The nice thing about this robe is the fluff. Conversely, the worst thing about this robe is the fluff! Once everything was stitched back together I tried it on. Amazing how this helped! Photo credits to my kind husband for these modeling shots...

double nine patch | Needle and Foot
https://needleandfoot.com/tag/double-nine-patch
Tag Archives: double nine patch. Looks like I made it, and with a few days to spare! My ALYOF goal for August was to quilt and bind my vintage double nine patch quilt. Yahoo for setting goals. Alas, it wasn’t entirely successful. I started by doing a basic, single cable on the middle (narrowest) border. I had great help with tracing the stencil. Ian was home for the weekend and kindly traced for me. I chose her Modern Leaf pattern (which I posted. For the final, outside border I did basic straight-line q...

I just want everybody on the same page so that I know where I’m starting from. So last week for me was pretty interesting…. I finally passed my driving test! I gave up trying a few years ago after failing the second time and my theory ran out. But started again at the end of last year. Third time lucky but I finally got there! You might t...

Category Archives: Scrappy Quilting. Relief Quilting Tutorial – Thread. I really enjoyed playing with relief quilting when I made my FABRIC mini quilt. A couple of weeks ago. So much so that I decided to make another one! I took plenty of pictures while making it so I could post a tutorial. I hope you will give it a try. The effect is wonderful and it is such an easy process. Let’s get started. Background Fabric: one rectangle measuring 7″ x 19″. Scraps for your border. Binding fabric: Two strips that ar...
