Fat Eighth Flapjacks Quilt

 Looking for free patterns for my charity quilts I came over this one from Fat Quarter shop:
the Fat Eighth Flapjacks Quilt . It is originally designed for a Fat Eighth bundle, but it also works perfectly with scraps.

This resulted in a colorful quilt with lots of fun and interesting scrap pieces.


 The weather cooperated so that I could take an outdoor picture.

 


 The backing is a duvet cover, and the quilting is a simple crosshatch.
Finished size of the quilt is 55" x 65". 

This is my fifteenth charity quilt for the year 2021, and number 79 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

Snoopy Among the Cacti

This is my latest charity quilt; a fast make using a tutorial from Just Get it Done Quilts. A cute print with Snoopy among the cacti is the focal fabric for the quilt measuring 40" square. The backing is perfect for the quilt.

This is my fourteenth charity quilt for the year 2021, and number 78 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

Dumpling Pouch

 Last year I took up tatting again and made this cute little project "wreath" with my shuttle. I mounted it on a piece of Liberty fabric, and that was it. The project has been stored in my bins the whole time, with me wondering what to do with it.


 With the Wips-B-Gone 100 day challenge I finally decided what to do. Michelle at michellepatterns.com has the cutest Dumling Pouch patterns. This is the bigger version. Wonder clips for size comparison.


 The pouch is perfect for my tatting supplies, and I will never forget what's inside this pouch!

 

Happy Halloween!

Modern Plus in Fall

 

About one year ago I made a Modern Plus quilt . That was such a fun project that I had to make another one this year.


This year's quilt is more in fall colors than the last one. I used the tutorial by Jeni Baker of  'In Color Order'.

The finished quilt is 48" x 64". The design is a great way to use scraps and stash.

This is my thirteenth charity quilt for the year 2021, and number 77 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

Flying Geese Pouch

 


 I made a little pouch from scraps and stash. For me this was a new method of making these particular flying geese. I probably won't make them again, because there was quite a lot of waste in the process. But, one has to try things out, though.

Even the zipper is a recycled one, so this is totally a win-win project.

Blue/Green Charity Quilt

 Another charity quilt is made. This time I used fabrics from only one fabric line, that's pretty unusual for me. I made an "old-fashioned" patchwork quilt from 18 different fabrics from Birchtree Lane by Connecting Threads, a line from 2015 according to the selvedge.


 A simple patchwork layout looks great with the many different prints of birds, leaves and feathers together with blenders.


 The uprooted tree is always a trustworthy quilt holder.

Dimension of the finished quilt is 48" x 60". Quilted with wobbly lines using the walking foot.

 We have been blessed with fairly warm weather this October, so the forest is still green even though the leaves have fallen off the trees.

This is my twelfth charity quilt for the year 2021, and number 76 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!
