Panda Please – a baby boy quilt

Posted on: September 29th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Introducing the Panda Please pattern! I made this one in blue so I think it feels like a baby boy quilt.   I really wanted to use some black and white prints to make this quilt. But did not have enough of any of those in my stash. So instead I improvised! The panda bears […]

Sunday Stash

Posted on: September 24th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

I did it again. More Fabric = More Quilts. Right? You’ve heard it before… “This year I have been working hard on using fabrics from stash for most of my projects.” And I am repeating this to justify the fact that I need to replenish my stash. Makes me feel a little less guilty!   Heather […]

Posted on: September 19th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

I’m so excited to be sharing my Crossroads Tablerunner! I’ve been sharing little progress posts along the way and today is my day on the Fat Quarter Shop blog hop.

Quilt Blogger Interview

Posted on: September 16th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

This post is not about a quilt finish. Or a new addition to my fabric stash. It’s not a post you will typically see here on my blog. But if you have ever wanted to get to know me a little better, read on….. I was recently contacted by Sherri of the Yorkshire Rose Quilters’ […]

Sunday Stash

Posted on: September 10th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

As I said last week…. This year I have been working hard on using fabrics from stash for most of my projects. But for some projects I have been ordering fabric just to suit a new pattern, such as the Mermaid quilt I shared in this post. However, we all know that at some point you need […]

Black Birds – {redo x3}

Posted on: September 8th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

Those crazy birds are at it again! This is the fourth time I have made the Black Birds baby quilt. I went back over my old posts to chose what I liked best from each one. For this one I chose a very light background. It’s kind of a smokey white with silver flecks. I […]

Tablerunner Bliss Quilt Along Blog Hop Begins!

Posted on: September 5th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

If you are anything like me – and I have a feeling we have a lot in common – there is something special about our time spent sitting in front of our sewing machines. That solitary time spent doing just what we enjoy most. You can feel the tension lift as soon as you enter […]

Texas – We Love You!

Posted on: September 4th, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

  Back a month or so ago, I mentioned that I am making my first ever trip to a quilting event. I have been accepted as a new exhibitor for Quilt Market and am going to Houston, Texas at the end of October. The whole idea of going is initially kinda scary. Texas is a […]

Rainbow Sunday Stash…. And Squirrels!

Posted on: September 3rd, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

This year I have been working hard on using fabrics from stash for most of my projects. However, we all know that at some point you need to replenish that stash. And today’s post is all about fabric additions. Rainbow style! These pieces are a bright delight!   Never having shopped from here before, I […]

Mermaid

Posted on: September 1st, 2017 by Lorna McMahon

This quilt makes me smile a mile! I love the whimsy of these swimming mermaids and think, “What little girl wouldn’t love this!” I have been working hard at using fabrics from my stash this year, so it was a treat to go shopping in preparation for making this quilt. I shared the details for […]
