Do I need to change my name to Joz makes simple quilts? I might need to based on the number I seem to be making lately! I think I mentioned it in another post but I recently bought some nice pencils and dotted paper and love coming up with new simple designs, often times when I’m in a listening meet

I sewed 5 more blocks and put 3 of them up on the design wall with the 15 I showed yesterday. Then I cleared them off the design wall so I could continue on the other project. I got 9 blocks of my Sunday only project assembled last night while watching 4 hours of TV. I think the name of this one should be "Out of Control". I'm just putting blocks on the wall as I make them, no layout decision yet. At this point I'm thinking it could be 15 placemats. I have lots more triangle strips left to…

I'm almost caught up on all my pre-Christmas sewing. I have one more quilt to share. I guess that means I need to get busy basting my quilt tops. This is a very simple quilt and came together pretty quickly. I wanted stripes and I wanted to use my solids. I love how it turned out. I've already given this one away, and forgot to measure anything, but I think the stripes are all 2 inches wide. I wanted to keep them all the same width for some uniformity, but it would probably look pretty cool…

Easy, beginner quilt in baby and twin sizes. Fat Quarter friendly. Includes tips on how to pick fabric for a quit.

It's been awhile since I've made an Ernie Quilt and it's one of my favorite patterns because I just love making quilts with 2.5" strips. I've had the Kaffe Fassett Shot Cotton and Woven Stripes strips die-cut and ready to sew since last year and finally had the opportunity to make this quilt since buying my new, sweet, very portable Juki HZL-70 HWA sewing machine which meant I am now able to sew in the kitchen while watching TV, a cause for much of my quilting downtime. I posted several…

Make Beautiful Things and Be Nice

One day last week, I saw this photo in the current issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. (design called Artfully Arranged by Amy Walsh) And the light bulb in my head went off. Last October I used a stack of Moda shibori fat quarters to make a giant nine-patch quilt top because I just couldn't cut into them. You can see it HERE. I didn't like it at all and almost immediately took it apart. The fabrics were set aside until a new approach made itself known. Once I saw that magazine photo, I…
