In 2006, My sister-in-law, Lorraine, turned me on to quilting when we went shopping for fabric for a king-sized quilt she offered to make for our guest room. I’ve made several quilts since then and each time I try to incorporate new techniques or styles I haven’t used on previous projects. I’m now quite addicted…RSS Feed to Hobby Stash » Quilting
Square-Up Ruler
I have quite a few rulers with some used more often than others. This baby is used everytime I make half-square triangle blocks and it does a marvelous job of squaring up these blocks. Once I’ve sewn together 2 blocks and cut them apart on the diagonal, I use this ruler to square the block before I press it open…a real time saver! I line up the finished block size indicated on the ruler with the seam allowance and then cut away the excess on the two sides.

Eva Juliette – Hand Basted & Ready to Quilt
The final border has been added and I completed the hand basting this morning. The basting took a bit longer than I’d anticipated but was worth it. Against my better judgement (time constraint wise), I’ve decided to hand quilt it. I found a traditional loft polyester batting I really like. Usually I use the low loft polyester when hand quilting but I like this much better…definitely easier than a cotton batting.

Sudoku Quilt
I finally got around to doing a Sudoku quilt, which has been on my list for a couple of years. This will be a wall hanging with a finished size of 24 x 24. It is roughly based on McCall’s Quick Quilts version. I reduced the size, spiffed up the sashing, and increased the proportion of the border. Here you see it basted and marked with symbols for each of the squares. I plan to hand quilt.
