Sewing Machine Gets Used!

Check out the Baby quilt. Yes, it's Kaffe and was a kit on Gloriouspatchwork.com's website. Of course, all those setting triangles along the sides of this quilt had to be re-cut because someone famous, who publishes great patterns and creates gorgeous fabrics, can't get his math right.



Jenome Gem and I had a long weekend together while Bob was playing golf last month. It's amazing how much faster the machine is but I still prefer hand piecing. Kaffe's shot cotton fabrics are not nearly as much fun to sew together as they are to applique.

Lollypop Trees


Obsessing over Kim McLean's choice of fussy cut Kaffe's is evident in this block.
That center of the flower bugs me, though. It may have to be picked out. Perhaps, after another few blocks are finished. The 'trunk' is one of Kaffe's shot cottons. It appliques like a dream.
