Midweek Makers #368

Welcome to Midweek Makers, the place to share your quilts!


I've shifted a bit from January blues to quilting a rainbow of color, specifically, on my friend Denise's Rainbow strip Bargello quilt.


Though the quilting is hard to see, I used a variegated thread to further the rainbow idea on the front, and black on the back to go with the black Minky. So soft and pretty! 

And from last week's party, there were these pretties:

a very cute snowman made by Scrapbox Quilts,


a very patriotic finish from Bell Creek Quilts,


and an almost finished gorgeous hexie quilt from Den syende himmel.


Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Midweek Makers #367

Welcome to Midweek Makers!


I'm continuing my January Blues mood, mainly because the RSC2023 color choice from SoScrappy is bright and dark blues. And boy, am I eager to use up my blue scraps! I pulled out two stuffed gallon zip lock bags, sorting them into lights, brights, darks, and prints.


Then I started sewing them into units, using my Making Blocks from Crumbs tutorial, to grow them into bigger pieces. I think I've got enough blue scraps to make a lap quilt - it's amazing how far they'll go!

Since I'm on the subject of blocks, I'll feature some blocks seen at last week's party. From Making a Lather, these pretty snail trail blocks,


from Den syende himmel, a very pretty Chilhowie mystery block,


and from My Bijou Life, a bear paw block.


Now on to this week's party - come share what you're working on!

January Blues

The Christmas decorations are gone, and the house is now filled with January snowflakes. For me, the color blue, frosty white snowflakes, and January just seem to go together! I definitely had a smile on my face as I placed these three blue and white snowflake inspired pieces out for daily viewing. Keep reading for a special offer!

There's my Frosty Lace wall hanging, accented with beautiful quilting,

the Snowflake runner full of heart themed snowflakes - definitely a favorite -

and Let It Snow, my little snowman trying to catch some flakes!
