I finished piecing this quilt in September of last year (no I didn't remember this info, I just went back and saw my post on Instagram), an...

Rebecca Grace Shares her Creative Process for Sewing and Quilting, Combining Traditional Hand Stitching Techniques with Computer Technology

YOU GUYS!!! Today is August 20th, and I finished my first quilt of the year yesterday. I keep looking out my window for the parade but they must be stuck in traffic somewhere... Surely there will be fireworks, or at least I'll get a mention on the news tonight??? 😐. Seriously -- does anyone else feel a little anticlimactic about finally finishing a quilt, or is it just me? So much work and effort, and then it's just OVER. It feels so abrupt! My 66 x 66 Halo Quilt Finish, Pattern by Jen…

An Instagram sewalong prompted me to pull out my Halo quilt blocks and start again. Now I've got a scrappy, colorful, finished quilt top!

Happy Weekend, quilters! I have an itty bitty amount of progress on my new Halo quilt to share with you today. For those who missed my earlier post about this NewFO project, Halo is a Jen Kingwell pattern that can be found in her Jenny From One Block pattern booklet, available on Amazon here (this post contains affiliate links). Unsewn Halo Blocks On My Design Wall For the last couple of weeks, I've been working on cutting out shapes and rearranging them on my design wall without any sewing…

Fabrics and quilts... where do the ideas come from?

It feels like its been all Minnie, all the time around here lately so it was time to mix it up a bit (I would dearly love to see Minnie finished this year but I still want to like her when she is 😉!). In search of something else to pick up nothing much seemed to appeal - either I had to cut or lay out blocks. I just wanted something to sew. So I went and sat in front of my machine to ponder my options and found the answer staring me in the face. Halo! I cannot even begin to remember the…

I have been off work for eight weeks and wanted to record here what I was able to achieve in these strange times! So don't feel the need to comment as you've probably seen all this before. Besides lots of walking in the beautiful Autumn sunshine.... I made these for Eli and Aston... Finished two quilts... "Hindsight 2020" was made from start to finish in this time! And I got this one to flimsy stage, started this jumper... And I've only got half a sleeve to finish! And made these sawtooth…

Hey there, quilty peeps! In the ten days since I last posted about this project, I have completed exactly FOUR more Halo quilt blocks. Don't let my slow progress discourage you from attempting this pattern, though -- I've also quilted three pretty intense quilts for clients, prepared music and sang at a funeral, and drove up to the mountains to visit my son in the past 10 days. I am fitting these blocks in here and there when I have time, not at all chained to the sewing machine for hours at…
