Dragonfly Quilt Shop: October 2011
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Holley, a dear friend and awesome quilter/sewer/knitter/crafter, stopped by the shop with her latest creation. It is from a current magazine issue, but I can't remember which one. I took the picture to use as a reference for making my own, but I just couldn't resist sharing this cutie with you. What a great use of scraps! This project is definitely going on my list of gifts to make this year. Thursday, October 27, 2011. What project was it originally used for? After a few iterat...

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: Another lingering project
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011/11/another-lingering-project.html
Tuesday, November 15, 2011. A couple of years ago, I came across these fat quarters and knew instantly who should have them. I especially like the note "Lunch w/ Deb Tues 12:30." I should give that to all of my friends and have lunch dates for life! Okay, back to the project. I mailed the fat quarters to my friend John with a promise to turn them into something wonderful. Several times over the next year or so we talked about what to do with them. Message board? When all else fails, make a quilt. Thanks ...

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: Mom's Cross Stitch
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011/11/moms-cross-stitch.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. Many years ago, my mom passed along some of her cross stitch pieces to me. She had never framed them and didn't think she would ever invest in finishing them. I pulled them out the other day and decided that now is the time to finish them. I'm planning a wall hanging that pairs each season with a complementary quilt block. I enjoy paper piecing and haven't done any in a while so I pulled out a Carol Doak book, 50 Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars. Thanks so much for sharing with me.

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: BOM Top Finished
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011/11/bom-top-finished.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. I really gain momentum as I get closer to finishing a project. Every step I finish leaves me energized for the next. Here is the finished quilt top for the Block of the Month quilt I've been working on. One of my concerns was that this quilt was going to be too pink. It is not. The gold in the setting triangles tones down the pink just enough. Next step is to choose a back and send this one off to the quilter. Thanks so much for sharing with me. View my complete profile.

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: September 2011
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. Sewing Room Face Lift. And she was giving me all of this free. It's probably as close to winning the lottery as I'll ever get. It was much more than I expected so we headed back home to get our trailer, some tools, and a teenager to help. After deconstruction and reconstruction, we have finished the first phase of this project. Here's my sewing room before the new additions. The chair on the right is pulled up to my cutting table. Here's the room after. I love being able to se...

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: April 2011
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 18, 2011. Featured Fabric of the Week. A friend of mine recently suggested that I start featuring a bolt of fabric at the shop. Just one? Well, why not! So here is this week's fabric. I may be jumping the gun a bit by saying "of the week" but we'll see how it goes. It was certainly fun putting together something for this week. How about taking a few of those coordinates and making an adorable girl's skirt from the book Sweet Sassy Skirts? I love the Four Corners Apron pattern to show off an...

Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Carry It All Folio Class. The shop was all a buzz last Saturday as a fun group of gals made a Carry It All Folio with Mary Ann Mauney. I love this project and hope to make one for myself soon. I love a class where the students leave with a finished project. Everyone here left with plans to make more. Fun to make and fun to give!

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: BOM Blocks Finished
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011/11/bom-blocks-finished.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. It's just awesome how a little bit of dedicated sewing time can go such a long way. The last six blocks for next year's block of the month are complete! My favorite one is the bottom right. Not only do I think it's pretty, but also because it is the last block I made. I had that happy "I can't believe it's the last block" feeling the whole time I was working on it. Thanks so much for sharing with me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dragonfly Quilt Shop: May 2011
http://dragonflyquiltshop.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. From fabric to a Flirty Flower. It all started with a little sewing trade. I would do some sewing in exchange for some fabric. Sounds like a good trade, doesn't it? The pattern is available in the shop and through the FourKidZooDesigns Etsy store. Hopefully, this is just the beginning. Thursday, May 19, 2011. First, the boxes were cut to the right size. Then all four sides were painted. The paint was leftover from when the room was painted so we had a perfect match. The result is ...
