W.i.P.’s September
Here’s a peek at some W.i.P.’s (work in progress) that can be found in my sewing room.
I’m making progress (but still not caught up) on my Penny Sampler quilt which has consisted of a lot of applique so far. This is part of an online class I’m taking through Stitched in Color.
I couldn’t resist the Super-sized Sampler Block Along at Little Miss Shabby any longer. I’ve made the first 18 1/2″ block, and I’m hooked! Three more to go!
I finished a quilt and it only took me two years! Or has it been three? This is a signature quilt that I made (with the help of my sister) as a wedding gift for our niece.
The pattern came from a magazine, and I can’t remember which one! It was either American Patchwork & Quilting or McCall’s Quilting. You can barely see the signatures below, but they’re visible in person.
I finally broke down and had someone else quilt it for me. But it’s done! My sister just needs to add a label to the back. I found perfect backing fabric for the couple who loves to drink wine!
And I made this next quilt top in two days – the pattern is called Sidelights by Mountainpeek Creations and it’s a great way to use a panel. I love the pops of color and hopefully my daughter will too. It’s for her college apartment.
I’ll be back soon with my finished block for the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery BOM 2013.

Your Penny Sampler blocks look gorgeous. I really like the colour combinations.
Loved the signature quilt, made one like it for a 50th wedding anniversary and the recipients loved it. All guests at reception signed it,what a remembrance.
I love your quilt! I feel better knowing it took you two years to finish it. I am sure all of us have project that are waiting to be finished. Very inspiring to see something get done! – Cheers!

On your penny sampler quilt, I really like the block with the houses.
Just wanted to let you know that the signature quilt featured above was in Quilter’s World Magazine August 2011 on the cover. Actually I designed it.
Wow, Carolyn! No wonder I couldn’t find it! What a small world. Your design is quite lovely! Thanks for setting me straight.
Carolyn,
Where can I get a copy of the signature quilt pattern including the flowers and the leaves+vines. I tried the Quilter’s World website and cannot find the August 2011 issue. Can I buy a copy from your. Thank you, Ruth
Thank you Julie for making and displaying my pattern. What a wonderful surprise to see it on your blog. I hope your niece enjoys it. I gave mine to my son at his wedding. The table runner I made from the snipped corner triangles they use on their dinning room table. Happy Quilting
Woohoo!–Love your Morning Star quilt block!–it looks awesome in DS fabrics!
Okay, I usually hate panels, but that quilt is really cool! I really like it. Now I’m going to have to rethink my position on the panel issue. LOL
