Fence Rail Quilt Blocks

July 20, 2007 By Wardeh 3 Comments

I am working on a quilt for a friend. She has had the fabric for years and hasn’t gotten to it. I said I would help, so I’ve been working on it on and off during this time that the kids have been gone. A couple hours a day. It has been easy, just strips. [...]

Naomi’s Quilt

June 27, 2007 By Wardeh 3 Comments

Naomi has been piecing together a quilt (that she began in the beginning of the year) in earnest last week and this week. These are squares that I bought from a thrift store, all cut up and ready, for $1. Yesterday the quilt was ready for tying, the method she chose. She worked on it [...]

My daughter Naomi (8) came up with this quilt idea herself. She wanted to make a quilt for her baby doll. I thought that was great. A baby doll quilt’s smaller size makes a quilt project very doable for an 8-year old. Including piecing the top together and machine-stitching the quilt herself, it took only [...]

Jill’s Birthday Quilt

April 26, 2007 By Wardeh 1 Comment

I haven’t shared this about Jeff’s mom and her sisters before. The 5 of them are called The Twits. That’s because they act “twitty” when they get together. I love them dearly, though and I have to state emphatically that their twittiness does not affect their craftiness. They are all so talented! Their latest crafting [...]

April 13, 2007 By Wardeh Leave a Comment

Constructing these blocks gave me a nice break from the other sewing challenges I’m facing lately. I will now wait eagerly for the blocks from the other ladies to trickle in. They’re not due until the end of June but our swap this year is so much easier than last year that I think maybe [...]
