Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Friday, November 29, 2013. Celtic Solstice Clue 1. Clue 1 released this morning and calls for the Tri-Recs ruler right off the bat. This summer I got a Baby Go accucut and ordered what I thought might be useful dies. One that I got makes a triangle in a square which is exactly the same as clue 1 in a 3" finished size. I have previously used the Tri recs and while it works I found it somewhat picky and I had to trim a number of my blocks. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. As Bonnie...

Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Saturday, November 24, 2012. And here we go again-Bonnie Hunter mystery. Another Bonnie Hunter mystery has begun:. I finally got my fabric washed last night - about half of it was washed and I have found recently that I get stuffed up using fabric not washed so now the rest is washed. I originally picked these fabrics :. Here they are cut into twosies. Andthe first few 4 patches. I love them and hope to get the rest sewn tomorrow. Sunday, November 11, 2012. This is a close up ...

Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Sunday, December 9, 2012. So far this mystery is going great. I have step 1 complete:. Step 2 has all the pieces cut and most of them sewn.I am using yellow for Bonnie's purple:. Also cut the extra rectangles mentioned so it will be interesting to see how this all goes together. Step 3 is all cut; after a miscut with the teal triangles and a recut(hopefully I still have enough fabric). I'm sure I do as I am using quite a variety and who knows? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Sunday, December 7, 2014. Grand Illusion mystery step 2. The brown triangles ready to sew to rectangle after the pink triangles have been sewn and pressed and then background triangle trimmed ready for pressing. 30 completed of the 50 I need.

Here are the completed units; the pieces for the rest of the units and my pile a scrap bonus triangles. Some of my UFO's.

My favourite things: Curtains finished
http://smileyquilter.blogspot.com/2014/03/curtains-finished.html
Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Well I did get some time to sew, feels so good. The pictures are of curtains I made for our newly renovated guest bedroom inspired when a quilt was temporarily pinned over the window so someone could spend the night during the reno. I really like how they turned out but a lot of work for curtains so they will probably be there a long time. You can see the inspiration hanging on the rocking chair next to the window.

Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Sunday, July 1, 2012. Happy Canada Day Everyone. Time is flying and here we are July 1 , 2012. When I eventually get the binding on I will post finished pictures. This spring has been very busy with my full-time job plus a part-time sec/treas position which has been very busy since April but will now slow down again until next April allowing me to get back to sewing. Better head back to my cutting table as I am trimming some scraps into usable pieces. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Sunday, January 26, 2014. So I've been plugging away at pieces in no particular order. I have most of the parts made but quit counting. I'm starting to put blocks together and I will take a break and make more pieces as I need them. For those who commented at the start when I couldn't decide if I wanted to use blue or brown I ended up using brown which I am very happy about. Here is a picture of parts:. Here are the three so far. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Some of my UFO's.

Prairie Hens Quilt Retreat. Sunday, June 9, 2013. I just returned home from a Wild West Weekend courtesy of Victoria Quilt Guild. It was a wonderful weekend of meeting new friends in a gorgeous location. Here is the view from our classroom at Pearson College:. Here are some pictures of my quilt at various stages the last. Being 4 rows sewn together and a few partially sewn before it was time to pack up and go home. I figured out how to turn it! It will be so interesting to see these completed. What happe...
