Cathedral Windows

From Indah Sewing (Gail’s pattern was from Indah Art)

This technique for Cathedral Windows was a bit different from how I would normally make them. Gail found the video online so we decided to make it at our afternoon sessions.

We made a plan to cut our fabrics so we’d be ready to sew when we got together. As it turned out we were watching a video showing the same technique but using different sizes of cut squares. Gail’s turned out much larger than mine (16″) but since I really didn’t have a plan for this I’m happy with the almost 12″ it turned out to be.

Frozen

Elizabeth asked me if I had any Frozen fabric left from the quilt I made for Taylor. She looks after a friend’s daughter from time to time and Oceana loves Frozen. I dug into my stash and found a few fabrics; next I had to find a pattern that would be simple to make and that would suit the pieces of fabric I found.

As I had larger quantities of some of the fabrics I thought I might manage a 3-Yard quilt. Although I didn’t have enough fabric to make the quilt as large as the pattern, it turned out to be a nice size for a little girl.

I’m not sure why I had the Olaf fabric but there was more than enough to cover the back.

Elizabeth sent me a photo of the recipient.

Congratulations Alex

Alex’s graduation ceremonies aren’t until June but he was looking to be fashionable for the big day so I contributed to his wardrobe. And doesn’t he look amazing?

Alex already has two scholarships and has been accepted into more than one university. No matter what he decides to do, or where he decides to go, I am very proud of his accomplishments.

Happy Birthday Dylan

There are only a few 6″ blocks left on my Block-a-Day calendar. The pattern was called Shamrocks but it used hearts rather than shamrocks so I switched out the appliqué. It’s been a long time since I made anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
