I’ve been reading the Denyse Schmidt Quilts book that Adria let me borrow and saw the heating pad project and just HAD to do it. I hardly make anything for myself, but it annoys me that I have my heating pad out in the middle of my living room [...]
My grandpa had given me a bunch of things that my granny (great grandmother) had left behind when she passed in 2002. I’ve been using some of her materials (embroidery thread, fabric, pins, etc.) to create some of the things I’ve been making. I’ve had 10 quilt blocks that I’ve been hoarding that she had [...]
I made this quilt out of two tops I had lying around for my niece for Christmas. I had planned a cuter quilt, but I didn’t have the money to get it professionally quilted, so I put two of my tops together and qulited this blanket with wavy stitching. The stitching is pink on one [...]
Finally finally finally finished my wonderland quilt (ie. the first quilt top I made ever).
I had it professionally quilted with a butterfly pattern in yellow thread. The back is pink.
I LOVE this fabric line. It’s sold out pretty much everywhere though.
Anyway, my camera died when I was taking photos, so here’s [...]
I blogged earlier today about the 2nd hardcore quilt top that I made.
Well, I took the plunge ladies and gentlemen. I officially quilted a full-size quilt.
I took photos of the process. One thing I learned — I desperately need a walking foot. I couldn’t find one for my machine (they were sold out [...]
A while back I made a “hardcore” quilt top out of a bunch of band t-shirts I had lying around. It was sort of practice for piecing since it was one of the first things I pieced.
Anywho, I only used half of the 50 blocks I’d created for it and shoved the [...]
I’ve been working on a string quilt for about a month or so now… annnnnd it’s pretty ugly.
Well, that started out being kind of the point. I wanted to make an ugly quilt for my sister to practice doing the string technique, but I realize now that I have invested so much time in [...]
I’ve just been posting quilt tops on my blog so far, but this is the first FULLY completed quilt. I posted the quilt tops for this one a while back.
I had given the top and the backing/binding to my good friend Adria to get it quilted since my machine [...]
I’ve been wanting to try my hand at paper piecing for a while (as I mentioned earlier today), so tonight, I did.
Here’s an X string block. This block is made from leftovers from a honey bun of Hello Betty from my friend Adria (which, by the way, I’m so sick of this fabric! I [...]
I posted a photo of one of these a while back, but here’s a couple of better photos. I think these do the tops better justice. I made these from 5 charm packs I bought from fatquartershop.com.
I’m scared to death to quilt these myself! I don’t want to ruin them. I want them quilted [...]
Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
