Midweek Makers #386

Welcome to Midweek Makers! 

I've had a busy Memorial Day weekend visiting family and friends (LOTS of driving!), leaving little time to quilt. I'll leave all the sharing goodness to those from last week!

Take a look at Karen's hexie quilt progress - impressive! I am always in awe of those quilters that spend the time to make these. They have more patience than I do!

Then there was this lovely top from Donnaleeq,

and also a striking heart quilt top from Bell Creek Quilts - nicely done all!

Now on to this week's party!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Here's another client quilt, a very pretty blue and yellow hexie themed top. This one is quilted with Glide's Buttercup yellow and the pantograph Pretty Paisley, which coordinates with some of the paisley fabric in the top. I just love it when a top comes in and goes home so pretty!

Speaking of pretty, did you see the quilts shared at last week's party? So many gorgeous quilts and so hard to choose which to feature - take a look at my favs!

Bell Creek Quilts showed off a pretty scrappy rainbow quilt,

Viridian's Blog shared her Flower Garden quilt top made from feedsack prints,

and Quiltpiecer is thrilled to have her RSC 2022 quilt top done. What a beauty!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Here's a simple, but elegant client quilt recently completed.

She wanted orange peels quilted through the 9-patches, which has given it a very soft hand. Now you may be thinking, it doesn't look finished. That's because this is a wedding quilt in which family members and friends will add quilting in the open spaces. What a great memento, don't you think?

And how about these pretties seen last week? From Gretchen's Little Corner, this very adorable corn themed table runner, 

from Scrapbox Quilts, a very happy summer calendar quilt,

and from Quilting Patchwork Applique, this very adorable Village de Provence.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

I'm now working on the back for my scrappy patriotic quilt. Still trying to use up bits and pieces to match with the front, though this has a way to go to get it to the right size. I've got large pieces for the edges, but they're not big enough. I'll need to add to the center pinwheel to fill in the gaps. Putting on my creative hat for this one!

Take a look at these projects from last week. Alycia Quilts shared her top created during a QOV sew day,

Bell Creek Quilts stitched together some orphan blocks while on a road trip to create this happy number,

and for all of you Star Wars fans, Ulrikes-smaating created this Death Star tribute.

Looking good everyone! And now on to this week's party!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Here's a fun share from an Etsy client - my Good Dog quilt block made scrappy!

Ultimately, these were paired with a paw block from another Etsy shop to make really adorable puppy quilts. Love it when quilters branch out and create!

Speaking of creating, take a look at these from last week:

from Rebecca Grace Quilting, these scrappy Halo blocks,

this great SAHRR 2023 finish from Scrapbox Quilts,

and Quilting Patch Applique shared this Grey as Well runner.

Now on to this week's party!

Friendship Bracelets for May Quilt Block Mania

Friendships, whether with a casual acquaintance or close buddy, living near or far, young or old, create a rich life. And many times, to display that strong bond, friends exchange Friendship Bracelets. That's what I'm offering today! 

Of course, bracelets are just one way to represent friendship. Take a look at how the other quilt block designers have interpreted the friendship theme for Quilt Block Mania.

Such great blocks for representing friendship! They would certainly make a wonderful quilt - visit everyone below to collect them for May.

For me, Friendship Bracelets are the first thing that jumps to mind for the theme. Maybe it's because my husband wears one, having several backups for when they wear out. His are quite simple, composed of five unwoven strands of yarn, but they certainly can be works of art!

Given the size that we're dealing with on this block, I went simple, choosing solid fabrics to represent the Friendship Bracelets. But a small geometric fabric print would work great to give that woven look - let yourself run free when creating them!

For one finished 12" x 12" block, fat quarters work best, though the bracelets can come from scraps. 

Note: So sorry! The free period is over for the Friendship Bracelets block - I'll let you know when it comes back!
