The House That Scrappy Built

September 3, 2020 by Amy Cook

I’ve always been enamored of house quilts. Houses and quilts seem such a natural pairing, both speaking to the utmost in coziness and comfort. I’ve made a couple of them before now and those, I cherish. After my latest one though, I began to consider how I would go about designing my own house quilt.   … [Read more…]

Another Quilt Is Born – The Full-On Scrappy One

October 28, 2019 by Amy Cook Leave a Comment

In a recent post, A Quilt Is Born, I talked about one of my bucket-list quilts, the giant gingham. I mentioned the one I made is moderately scrappy and I quite like it, but I decided to make a full-on scrappy version and a totally non-scrappy one to compare and contrast. Today, I started my … [Read more…]

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Asian…

August 20, 2018 by amy Leave a Comment

… and also something blue. I am so super-stoked to have finished this quilt top today. It’s a UFO from waaaayyyyy back – about 2013 to be more specific. I started it when I lived in Peyton, Colorado. “Something Old” is most of it. The red/brown/cream daisy fabric was my original inspiration. I loved it … [Read more…]

Aloha, Y’all. I did a thing… I entered the Accuquilt Block Design Contest. Here’s my entry. If you sew with me, you know how much I love my Accuquilt Studio, right? So when I saw the contest, I was super-excited. There’s some stiff competition though. I would love it if you would take a moment … [Read more…]

My Cat…Asshole or Quilt Designer?

July 29, 2018 by amy 1 Comment

I’ve been working on this quilt for quite a while. I was going to call it “In the Stacks” because it reminded me of rows of library books. It was to be a gift for a friend who recently had a baby. My plan was set.   My cat had other ideas…   What an … [Read more…]

It’s About to Get Mod and Manly up in Here!

Aloha y’all. I just ordered the fabric for my masculine version of The Mod Squad and OMG… it’s going to be FABulous! 🙂 I’m so excited I can hardly stand it.

There will be three variations: Girlie Mod Mod and Manly Mod One, Mod All Here – obviously – is the beginnings of Girlie Mod. This adorable fabric – Chérie by designer Masha D’yans for Clothworks – is just about as girlie as … [Read more…]

It’s Binding Time

November 13, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Today, I machine-stitched the binding to the front of my Positively Scrappy quilt. All that remains is a few evenings of Netflix binging while hand-sewing it to the back and the quilt will be cuddle ready. I love this quilt for many reasons, even though it’s probably not the most beautiful one in the world.  … [Read more…]

To Baste or Not to Baste…

November 6, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

Can I hire someone to baste my quilts? Is that a thing? I want to do the quilting myself, but I do NOT love putting together that quilt sandwich. Today was the day to begin quilting Positively Scrappy, so I eagerly spread out my backing, batting and quilt top on my sitting room floor. I … [Read more…]

One Bite at a Time…

November 6, 2017 by amy Leave a Comment

The Chaos Continues I’m beginning to feel like this project will never end, so I have to remind myself of the question, “How do you eat an elephant?” The answer, of course, is, “One bite at a time.” Today I finished Section 12. I did Section 13 some months back, so I now have three … [Read more…]
