Image
As you know, I ♥ all things Basic Grey . I can't seem to get enough of them. I think I may have or be in the process of making a quilt in every line they've ever come out with. I love, Love, LOVE Basic Grey !!!! Above is an original pattern that I am working on using Basic Grey Curio line from Moda It will be 54" x 54" and has a working title of Knickknackery What do you heart? What can you not get enough of? What will you drive a 100 miles just to get? Please note the colors may be off as I took the photos at night. Until next time,

Quilt-Uber-Fest - Thoroughly Modern Monkey Wrench

Welcome!!!! Are you having fun making all the amazing blocks? I know I am. I love all the talent of this group and how we all see things so differently. If you have not had a chance check out Erin Singleton of Two More Seconds block please do so. It's cute to boot. Before I dive too much feather into this post I guess I had better tell you what Quilt-Uber-Fest is. My good friend Scott has all the info on his blog and you may find out more about it there. Since Scott has taken the time to re-invent the wheel for Quilt-Uber-Fest I will let you read all about it on his blog. No sense in me redoing it. The fabrics used in all the blocks are selections from Nel Whatmore's Sleeping Beauty line for Free Spirit Fabrics , Kaffe Fassett's Wovens , and a solid of our choice. I can't wait to see what Nel will think of my block since she and I have been trading e-mails back and forth. I'm calling my block Thoroughly Modern Monkey Wrench Click ...

Have you been having fun checking out all the great quilt blocks that everyone is making? I know I have. What a great bunch and talented group of designers Michele has chosen for the Christmas Quilt Along and Super Deals . I love seeing all the great blocks everyone has come up with using Christmas or Christmas like fabrics. I find it amazing how you can dig in your stash and pull out some fabrics that don't even remind you of Christmas, but when you place them together it makes you dream of sugar plum fairies or Santa and his eight reindeer. I would love to see the finished quilt that you make with any of the 36 blocks. If it just happens to include my block be sure to post it in my the Qubee Quilts I made it Flicker group . Without further ado I bring you my 12" block entitled " Happy Little Trees " " Happy Little Trees " PDF Don't forget to check out tomorrows featured designer Jennifer – of SewHooked where she is going ...

Men Quilt Too! The Quilt Show!!!

A great big welcome to everyone that is joining me here for the Men Quilt Too Quilt show. I am a quilter and pattern designer living in Kansas City, Missouri. I enjoy collecting all kinds of fabric, especially Fat Quarters and I design traditional quilts with a modern twist to make them uniquely my own. I also enjoy camping, hiking, and spending time outside when I’m not quilting. Qubee Quilts?  People always ask me how I came with my company's name.  I was looking for a name I could use online and just could not come up with one.  I asked a group of my friends who knew I quilted what name I could use and one of them joking said I could be called “Quilter Boy”.  No, I said that is a little over the top.  Then another said you could use the initials QB.  Again, I said no.  They would think of me as a quarter back.  Another said why not spell it out.  How would you do that?  I said.  Qubie he said and your company name could...
