There lots of new techniques and terminology to learn, but the laundry list of supplies needed for quilting is a bit long and sometimes confusing.
Sharing a work that my aunt did, I loved the result. She was upset because her best friend thought the colors were ugly, but I told her it was perfect for me... 🫶 She will love seeing praise from the...

Quilts! Sewing! Books! Life!
I finally finished a quilt!!! Do you remember this quilt top? I finished the top about a year ago. This summer I finally got the back put together, and sent it off to the local quilter. A week ago, I got it back and immediately got to work on the binding (it's my favorite part, eek!). On Saturday, I took it to my moms house (she will be fostering the quilt for me), and we got some quick pictures outside before the rain came in. The weather has started to cool here, and the trees are changing color. This is my favorite time of year, and its the time of year that I get excited to play with fabric again. I took another quilt in to the quilter, and hopefully I'll have that back in the next month or so. Until then I will keep working on piecing my long list of UFOs. It feels great to finish something, and even though this quilt won't be living with me, it was still nice to snuggle with it for a while. Do you snuggle with your quilts when you finish them? I feel like it's not really a quilt until it has kept someone warm. I hope everyone is having a great week! Cristina The Quilted Mitten

Are you familiar with the quilting term leaders and enders? Maybe you’ve heard it before, but just weren’t sure what it meant. These terms refer to the use of a scrap piece of fabric that is placed under the foot of your machine to start (prior to chain piecing, sewing blocks or rows together, etc

Sheryl over at Temecula Quilt Co. is hosting this irresistible sew-along, calling this one Marvelous Mini Mondays. Any of you out there who are making these know how fun they are to make! This is the basked of scraps I'm working from. Today marks week 5, but I'm not quite caught up. Swing back later tonight or tomorrow, I should have posted a couple more blocks by then. Meanwhile, a while back I had the brilliant idea to make a braid quilt. I got the idea from Lori over at Humble Quilts, who made a really cool one a few years ago. I'd throw in a link if I could find the post .... anyway ~ about mid-way through mine, I decided it just looked like a royal mess. Later (much later) I deconstructed it into strips, then set about turning most of them into Triangle Squares, and sewed them into a Vet Quilt. Much better! Now to link up with Design Wall Monday love, Sandy
