Queen Bee Month – HUCK+FINN

https://huckfinnstitchery.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/great-canadian-stash-busting-quilt-bee

February 16, 2015. February 17, 2015. January was the month that I shared the Queen Bee status with my pal, Stacey. The block that I asked for was pretty easy-going. I asked for flying geese in any configuration as long as the fabric used was the Cotton Steel. Fat quarters I sent out to everyone along with low volume accents. Here is the block I made for myself:.

Seed Stitch Cowl – HUCK+FINN

https://huckfinnstitchery.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/seed-stitch-cowl

February 17, 2015. February 17, 2015. Here’s a scarf I made recently on circular needles (hooray for no seams! And I’ve passed it on to a friend in Calgary. With the mild “winter” we have had here, I had a feeling it will get more use at her place. 🙂. The wool I used was a Bulky 5 and the needles were US Size 15. This whole thing came together in a couple of hours and only used one ball of yarn (116m). Try it out and let me know what you thought! Here’s the tutorial from Knit and Bake.

Lone Starburst – HUCK+FINN

https://huckfinnstitchery.wordpress.com/2015/02/20/lone-starburst

February 20, 2015. February 23, 2015. I can’t say who or what this is for quite yet, but here is the Lone Starburst quilt block. This is my first real attempt at paper piecing and all I can say is – look at those points! Once you get the hang of it, this pattern is fairly quick to put together, but in my experience it pays to be generous with your pieces, unless you enjoy stitch ripping. Here’s the link. To the pattern by Six White Horses, if you’d like to try it out. Hoping to have this guy in my Finish.

Great Canadian Stash-Busting Quilt Bee 2015 – HUCK+FINN

https://huckfinnstitchery.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/great-canadian-stash-busting-quilt-bee-2015

Great Canadian Stash-Busting Quilt Bee 2015. February 16, 2015. February 23, 2015. In November of 2014, I was poking around for a quilt bee I could join in the New Year. All of the bees that had any room left weren’t really my style or were long distance bees (which meant expensive shipping costs). We filled up our roster in less than a month and had others asking if they could join in on the next round! It was a complete shock to me, but it reminded me of the wise words of Wayne Gretzky:. If you want to...

Chalk Painting – A new obsession is born! – HUCK+FINN

https://huckfinnstitchery.wordpress.com/2015/09/16/chalk-painting-a-new-obsession-is-born

Chalk Painting – A new obsession is born! September 16, 2015. September 16, 2015. This was my first attempted chalk painting, and like everyone else who tries it, I’m hooked! Instead of spending about $60 on paint and wax alone, I found this recipe. The total cost for this table was about $8. Which I found to be very thorough. The author is using Annie Sloan paint, but you get the drift. Doing this allowed the wax be applied evenly. Apply the wax in circles, wipe it off with the grain of the wood. You ar...

Lone Starburst Pillow – HUCK+FINN

https://huckfinnstitchery.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/lone-starburst-pillow

February 23, 2015. February 23, 2015. This is what became of the Lone Starburst quilt block. Yesterday we threw our annual Oscar Party! I made an appetizer inspired by each Best Picture nomination, we played Oscar Bingo and followed along with our Oscar Ballots. I had grab bags for the bingo winners and the person with the best ballot score at the end of the night won the pillow! Again, the pattern I used was from Six White Horses. And I was inspired by Helpful Homemaker. February 23, 2015 at 5:20 pm.
