Stars for San Bruno #3 Progress

Stars for San Bruno #3
Stars for San Bruno #3

I worked all Sunday and a couple of hours on Monday afternoon on the Stars for San Bruno #3. I am too small, so I asked the Young Man to hold it up to me, which, as you can see, didn’t work out very well.

The way I asked him to hold it is actually sideways. The plan was to make a row quilt with vertical rows of stars. If I would actually measure on occasion, I would have known that it would come out weirdly wide. Looking at it like this gives me a chance to see whether it will look ok with horizontal rows.

It definitely needs some kind of spacer on the [current] sides. I want something to separate the pieced stars from the embroidered stars I plan to use for the border.

Progress on one of the 26 Projects? Yes.

Block-a-Long #28: Table

I must be in a furniture or house mode right now. Whenever I look at something lately I think of furniture. I would like to buy new furniture, but my checkbook says NO WAY!

Again the directions for cutting are pretty easy. Here is a rotary cutting worksheet for the Table Block

If you have made blocks or a quilt from these patterns, please post a link in the comments section of the relevant block or on the AQ Block-a-Long Flickr group. I would love to see what you have made.

Creative Prompt #128: Candy

bulk candy

Definition: Candy, specifically sugar candy, is a confection made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water, to which flavorings and colorants are added. Candies come in numerous colors and varieties and have a long history in popular culture.

The Middle English word “candy” began to be used in the late 13th century, coming into English from the Old French çucre candi, derived in turn from Persian Qand (=???) and Qandi (=????), “cane sugar”.[1] In North America, candy is a broad category that includes candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marshmallows, and more.[citation needed] Vegetables, fruit, or nuts which have been glazed and coated with sugar are said to be candied.

Block-a-Long #27: Headboard

Headboard #27
Headboard #27

I thought that with the last block I should quit, since you all could make a 5×5 quilt and I wouldn’t feel like I was leaving you hanging, but that is an awfully small quilt, so I decided to continue.

This could be made with only 3 fabrics, but it looks really good with 4 fabrics.

Take a look at the cutting sizes in the Headboard #27 Cutting Directions.

Creative Prompt #127: Ghost

Ghost Whisperer

back up and file recovery software

Ghost (movie with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore)

Definition: In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or wispy shapes, to realistic, life-like visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance.

Stars for San Bruno #3

Stars for San Bruno #3 Layout?
Stars for San Bruno #3 Layout?

I finally started the Stars for San Bruno #3 quilt. The picture is lame, I know. It looks like nothing and you can’s see the squares I put on point or squared up. I wanted those of you who participated to know I am not being completely lame.

Stars for San Bruno #2 is almost ready. #2 and #3 go to the same family, so I need to finish #3 before I can get #2 out of the house. I plan to work on it soon so you can see some real progress.

Block-a-Long #26: Window

Another easy block for your 25th block. You can now make a 5×5 block quilt. I thought it looked like a glance at a window with a valance and a curtain.

Window #26
Window #26

The quilt will be about 30″ along each side without sashing and I recommend just butting the blocks up together.

A-B-C Challenge Blocks

These are the blocks I have made so far for the BAMQG A-B-C (A-Z??) Challenge. I remade the Air Castle block (star, upper left) and am much happier with it. I didn’t think this project would be a learning experience, but it is. I think the Zoe Pearns dots need to be surrounded with a color, e.g. not white. I think they blend with the white white too much, especially since they are such small pieces.

I have to do the ‘E’. I thought I had decided on a block, but now I can’t remember what it was and quick look through my Around the Block books didn’t help. Stay tuned!

Creative Prompt #126: Pumpkin

Quote: I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
