June 5, 2011

I hope everyone is enjoying all the heat we’re having in Georgia. I, for one, do not enjoy it. Give me colder temps anyday… without humidity, please.

WARM WISHES QUILT
This is another fast, easy quilt. Yardages are included for long full-size and twin.  Crib size is here:

LINUS CONNECTION
If you sew, knit or crochet, this site has a listing of all kinds of patterns for the Linus project. Of course, you don’t have to give them away.

JAPANESE X AND + SCRAPPY QUILT
This is one of the scrappiest quilts I have ever seen.

QUICK STRIPPIE QUILT
As this blog says, one novelty print and two coordinating fabrics is all you need. This makes a great charity quilt.

LOTS AND LOTS OF FREE PATTERNS
Oh my…. Where to start!!! 


FOR THE KIDS – OLD McDONALD PUPPETS
Sew cute! The song is now stuck in my head.

ENDING DOUBLE FOLD BINDING
This isn’t exactly how I do it, but similar. I’ll try this way soon.

FRENCH FLORAL FREE PATTERN
I love this one. This is a great table topper or wall hanging.

3 cups finely chopped rhubarb
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 drops red food coloring (optional)
 Mix the brown sugar, flour and oats in a bowl. Stir in the margarine. Press about 2/3 of the mixture over the bottom of an 8-inch baking pan. Spread the rhubarb in the prepared pan. Cook the sugar, cornstarch and water in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Add the vanilla and food coloring and pour over the rhubarb.

Enjoy your week!
Old quilters never die, they just go to pieces.
