This is Vivian's Black and White quilt and I love the pop of teal she added to the design. The name of the pattern is Radiant by Cozy Quilt Designs and she changed up the colour placement on her version. She asked for a simple panto design so I chose Bora Bora. The thread is white So Fine and the batting is a Pellon Cotton.

So you will find that the colours, stitching and design may slightly vary from pictures. Hand stitching throughout the quilts creates the kantha design. Kantha stitching is a loose hand stitch that is not generally knotted at each end; this may result in a few loose ends poking out throughout the quilt. (This is not a fault, it is in the nature and character of the design) Please note dye marks and Sporadic splotches may appear throughout the quilt varying slightly from piece to piece, these minor imperfections are what make each piece special and unique Meet the Artisans : A team of artisans named as Komal, Manju, Preeti, Suman, Mariam and Sima works on each kantha throw sold at ArtsyHomeIn. Each Sari Blanket sold benefits the men and women in one of the most disadvantaged areas of the world. We help create a better livelihood for both them and the families who rely on them.

Made for Project Quilting, Season 4, Challenge 2. Kim challenged me to complete this challenge this week. I dream up these challenges...I don't usually do them. So I was at the Wisconsin Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Conference on Monday and Tuesday and found myself doodling. I decided this was a quilt that needed to be made, so I came home and drew it bigger on a piece of freezer paper. After raiding my stash, I decided I needed more teal fabrics, particularly in medium and lighter shades, so I pulled out some of my green scraps and over-dyed them. I used paper piecing, straight and curved piecing and applique to complete the top then added free motion quilting. Finished size is 18" x 24". Made by Diane Lapacek in Poynette, WI.

Can you feel Spring in the air? The days are getting longer and the sunshine has some warmth to it! I know that winter isn’t over yet, but the additional light is so refreshing. This weekend is Daylight Savings Time in the US, and we’ll lose an hour as we spring forward in the wee hours of the morning. Damn, I hate Daylight Savings Time! Hmmm... Alfie wakes me up at 8:00 a.m. every morning. He comes and sits on my shoulder (I’m usually sleeping on my side) and either paws back the covers if they’re pulled up, or else he just gently puts his paw on my cheek. I wonder how or if he will adjust to DST. I guess we’ll be finding out! Alfie says to remember to set your clocks forward! Aquas and teals are perfect colors with which to greet spring, so I was happy to be sewing with these cheery scraps this week. I’m joining the Scrappy Saturday blog party where everyone is showing their blocks. This week I sewed 12 Twin Sisters blocks (6.5” unfinished), Eighteen string blocks (6.5” unfinished), and 15 half-hexie selvage blocks, plus the remaining selvages into strip sets. I sure had a lot more of these aqua (etc) scraps than I thought, so I will definitely be making an aqua fabric scrap bucket next week. I’ll also work on some scrappy Beachcomber blocks and a Scraptastic Star. Last year I sewed garlic knots most of the year and only have two colors left to make to wrap those up, but it won’t be this month. And since I don’t have any teal or aqua African fabrics, I won’t be making any new International Sisters blocks unless I find a fun American fabric just to sew one for my personal quilt. Instead, I hope to get a couple wall hangings of the International Sisters blocks (backed by an African mandala print) assembled this month. But that’s a couple weeks off, at least. I did manage to get four of these 12” star blocks sewn for my Seeing Stars Sewalong led by Diane Knott of Butterfly Threads Quilting. Aren’t they cute? Because I started out the sewalong by doing 8 of every block for the first 4 months (intending to make a quilt) I have more than enough blocks to finish out the wall hanging and table toppers that I decided to make instead. Here is the wall hanging pinned up on the design wall. Only a few of the seams are sewn. It will finish roughly 30x36”. I didn’t use the pinks in the wall hanging, but will use them with the other blocks to make two table toppers that will feature more of the pastel colors I used. I’m thinking spring and Easter. I’ll show all those as they all finish up, also hopefully this month. In my last post, I showed two kid panels that I need to turn into kid quilts for QFK. Here is the first completed top. In keeping it simple per our instructions, I only added a lime green border stripe. The backing is pieced and everything is ready to be basted. This second one is still a (limited) work in process. It’s been trimmed and the bottom blocks separated. I’ve added borders to two of the four blocks. There will be a narrow blue border then a wider orange ducky border. I plan to finish this one today and get both the donation quilts layered, quilted and bound this weekend. There are other quilty things going on, too, like the deconstruction of On Ringo Lake (my March OMG) and two more baby quilts to quilt for Quilts for Kids in the next couple weeks, but they aren’t picture-worthy. So, I’ll wrap it up and get this posted. Have a great weekend, friends!

Introducing my newest quilt, Starburst in Teal, created as my January (and first) project for Island Batik. I have had such fun working with these beautiful fabrics, especially as they're in my most favourite colour palette. The January challenge for Island Batik ambassadors was to create a 'Step by Step' quilt. It is a gradation style quilt using a beautiful bundle of fabrics. I decided to separate the fabrics into two families - blue and green. The design "Starburst" was a pattern I created a number of years ago for a magazine publication, but was only as a cushion size in that instance. It was fun to work the original pattern into a quilt size project. Normally, when making a quilt, it's easier to make all of the blocks first and then put them together at the end... but in this instance, I found it more efficient to create the quilt row by row, as I went. As soon as a row was finished, I pressed it and sewed it to the previous row... it was when I finally had made half the quilt top that I could see that it was going to work out just as I'd hoped (and imagined). Once the quilt top was complete, I sandwiched, basted then quilted in the ditch along the blocks to make four arrow shapes pointing towards the centre of the quilt. To finish, I decided that a little more big stitch hand quilting was necessary - I love adding a little bit of hand stitching to my projects. I chose three Aurifil 12wt thread colours to add lines of stitches to emphasise the "arrow" ditch quilting. I'm very pleased with this new quilt and will share my pattern at a later date (when I have time to write it up properly). The Tantalizing Teal fabric was provided to me by Island Batik. Find all of these beautiful Island Batik fabrics at your local quilt store. In creating this quilt, I used machine needles by Schmetz. The thread for piecing, machine quilting and hand quilting are all by Aurifil.
Exquisitely beautiful teal floral fabric with gold metallic accents. Squares were fussy cut and complimentary colors used on the quilt. Quilt would be beautiful on the back of a couch or on a bed.
Teal in a quilt can be calming or bold. In all cases, it's impactful and beautiful!
December 31st is when I typically look back at my goals from the previous January 1st to see how well I did at meeting them. This is how my 2023 Quilting Goals went: 1. Quilt for Fun Yes! Kings Crown Quilt – Yes, I made a tutorial for this. But not until after I had made the entire quilt without taking a single photo for a tutorial or thinking about writing one. Quiltville Mystery – I often pull together a post talking about the mystery project (of course without giving away the pattern!) and this year I DID NOT! I made a lovely purple and teal quilt for a 10-year-old’s birthday, and shared it on Instagram and Facebook along the way, but I didn’t write about it. Log Cabin Stars – I joined a quiltalong for a pattern from another quilter. No tutorials, just relaxing sewing. I’m really happy with how this one turned out! Interesting Colors Quilt – I never shared this one at all before now! 2. Clean Out the Scrap Box Well. I used scraps. But that scrap box is never going to be empty. My best scrap tutorial this year was the Scrappy 4-Patch. 3. Quilting Photography I didn’t do anything special for this, but have worked to make sure my backgrounds are great for quilt photography. Here are some of my best photos from this year. 4. Revisiting Old Patterns Yes! Farmhouse Plaid in new colors to show how changing the palette can drastically change the look of the block design. Changing the Size of the Blitz Quilt Pattern to use up some smaller scraps and exercise those math muscles. The Diamond Twist Quilt Pattern leads to leftover half square triangles and I made pillow cases. Hexie in a Hexie was my 2nd ever quilt pattern and it needed (and got!) an update with additional quilt sizes. This is the same fabric bundle in the Scrappy 4-Patch shared above and I still have a little bit left, but haven’t decided yet how to use it. An updated Sweet Pea with more quilt sizes will be out early next year, so while I haven’t been able to share it yet, as a work in progress, it meets this goal. 5. Learn Something New! I bought a book for fancy lettering. I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m having fun and doing something crafty outside of quilting. 6. Crafts That Aren’t Quilts I kept two dahlias alive for the whole summer this year! I’m not sure gardening is a craft, but I sure enjoyed it! I also had Purple Lanterns, Hot Lips, Rosemary, Johnny Jump Ups and others in my garden, but they’ve all done fine in past years so the successful dahlias were really the highlight of the summer gardening season. 7. Write More Quilt Patterns Hexie in a Hexie Obrigado Two quilt patterns is definitely not what I had in mind for this year, but I’ve already got three in the works for next year, so I hopefully I can increase my work on this goal in 2024. How did you do on meeting your own goals this year? Stop back by tomorrow for next year’s goals!
I really like this little quilt I made for the Vancouver MQG Mini Quilt Swap. I didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy it after I finished it, because that happened yesterday afternoon – …

Earlier this year I received and email from the QuiltDiva She said I have a bunch of Half Square blocks and I am no longer interested in them - would you like to play with them and I screamed YES!!! Since this month is Teal - I decided they had to be played with this month.... I thought - I love the offset bulls eye look - lets head in that direction... so this is what I got up on the wall..... then I had to stop to cook dinner.... and I kept looking at the wall and I thought - oh... what about TWO offset bullseyes..... and now - here is where I am. I am going to get these rows stitched together and then see what this particular piece tells me where to go.... so far... this has been so much fun!!! Its much more fun to play with others cast offs haha!! Linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!
