I didn’t get a chance to post this last week about sewing achievements, but I did actually achieve something. I think I mentioned that I had basted and pinned Mon Ami on Monday night and started the quilting. Well I didn’t finish it on Monday as anticipated I was just so tired when I got home from work, that sewing was not going to be part of my evening.
 Mon Ami Schnibble Quilt using Plume by Tula Pink for Moda Basted I did quite a lot of quilting on Tuesday night, but didn’t quite get to finishing it all. Wednesday night, I got it all quilted. I stitched around the stars, did a serpentine stitch on the inner background border , stitched around the peaks and valleys on the half square triangles and straight line stitched about 5/8th of an inch apart on the outer borders.
I then made some pretty pink binding using my 1inch Clover Bias maker and bound it by machine. I wasn’t up to doing it by hand and I could nearly taste the satisfaction of completing it. I attached the binding to the back first, then folded to the front and used a decorative stitch to attach to the front. I am admittedly not very good at this, but I will only get better the more I do it, so I am quite happy with it.
Some problems with my quilting.
- I still find my tension a bit strange and inconsistent at times and am not sure what to do about that
- my machine has a handy quilting guide attachment for equidistant straight line quilting, but it doesn’t attach when the walking foot is on, only the standard foot. So the straight line quilting kind of bunched a little at the end of the lines
So this is the second quilt top I got finished so far this month!

Posted by Q in Craftie Craft, Softies - sewing on March 7, 2011, at 1:30 pmI was going to post this last night, but I thought that the person who I made the pony for might see it and it would ruin the surprise, I realise now (since she isn’t at work today, so still doesn’t know) that it is highly unlikely that anyone who I know personally (as in see in real life) would be reading this anyway.
So other than the new Le Petite Project for this month (Endless Summer by Pam Buda from Heartspun Quilts), I am focussing on quilting and backing and binding, because evidently (yeah, I know it came as a complete shock to me?!) your quilt isn’t actually done until it has been quilted and bound.
I’m also licking my wounds (emotional ones) from becoming single (again) last week. One of ( or quite possibly all of ) my grandparents are probably doing the proverbial turning around thing now, with their oldest on one side and oldest girl on the other side still being unmarried and *gasp* childless 4 days before crossing over onto the wrong side of her mid 30s.
So Friday night, I completed quilting the 1800′s Vintage Doll Quilt that I (tried) to make. It was gifted to my mother, who thought that my hand quilting was rather well done stippling ?! And didn’t say anything about the bad angles and the general non-square-ness of this square quilt. Saturday morning I got up early-ish and made a pony.
She is from the Pippi Pattern from Melly and Me. A friend here at work has horses and one of hers hurt her foot a few weeks ago – look away now – and ripped one of her toe nails off her foot – you can look back now. So I decided she needs a horse that won’t hurt her foot. Pippi was bigger than I anticipated, but a fun, quick and easy pattern that I finished in a few hours. Great way to spend the early morning!
 Pippi from pattern by Melly and Me Pre-Stuffing I was so happy with her, I took her around the house for a photo shoot, here she is on top of niecey poo’s toy shelves. Looking out over the play pen.
 Pippi from Pattern by Melly and Me Play Pen Pose and then I took her outside to nibble on the undergrowth below one of my brother’s Bonsai trees.
 Pippi from pattern by Melly and Me grazing I also started finishing (started finishing?! – that sounds idiotic if you really think about it) my Mon Ami Schnibble – added the borders and basted it and started quilting. I believe I could finish the quilting and binding tonight. (A little optimism never hurt anyone did it?). I am also thinking up inventive ways to add more red to My Sweet Spot Schnibble and started blanket stitching around the sawtooth stars last night with red thread.
I was quite afraid of the finishing bits because I am petrified of quilting (well free motion anyway). The idea of spending all that time stitching and making a top I like and then stuffing it all up with the quilting, makes me feel ill. I have now realised it’s not so bad if my work is not stippled or beautifully free motion quilted. So I will do this and maybe have a go at the free motion stuff, every now and again, to see if I might improve.
I also need to finish my Dresden Plate Runner, which I am using as a wall hanging; and my Amy Butler Daisy Chain, High Flying Geese quilt. As well as make a pot holder later in the month for my swap. With this in mind, only little projects like Pippi, that I can start and finish in a morning are allowed to be commenced.
Well that’s the plan today anyway…
Posted by Q in Craftie Craft, Quilting, Tutorial on March 5, 2011, at 8:47 pm
Firstly I have no affiliation whatsoever to the maker of this ruler. There is a tutorial in the packaging of the ruler that is clear to follow and there is a video tutorial on the Open Gate Quilts website you can view here. The ruler is designed and produced by Monique Dilard of Open Gate Quilts. Monique has co-authored several block of the month quilts and has also authored the new book “Fat Quarter Winners” which is out this year, go and look at some of the stunning quilts in it over here.
I first heard about the ruler last month when I was about to start my Le Petite Project for February. It was the Schnibbles pattern called Sweet Spot, designed by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosies Quilt Co. Sherri at A Quilting Life mentioned that Carrie had mentioned on her blog and in her patterns what a great ruler this was and how wonderful it was for working with lots and lots of flying geese. As the pattern called for 100 flying geese units, I bought it along with the pattern.
I read comments from some people on Sherri’s blog about wanting a tutorial, so I am going to attempt to do the ruler justice and try to write one now.
I used the Mini Fit to Be Geese Ruler which is used to create flying geese units that Finish at (after trimming not sewing) between 1&1/4 by 2 inches and 2 by 3&1/2 inches. I’m a metric girl myself so please forgive formatting of those numbers.
There are 2 ways to trim with the Ruler, one is used for the biggest Flying geese unit you can use with the ruler, and the other for all the other sizes. In the Schnibble project mentioned above, I used it to get the largest flying geese units from the ruler. They are trimmed at 2 by 3&1/2 inches and finish in the quilt at 1&1/2 by 3inches.
I am not an experienced quilter and neither am I an experienced sewer, so getting points to meet is not something I have achieved (see my previous post for a very good example) in abundance, so believe me when I say, this is a great method and a very useful tool.
The basic idea of the ruler is working with pieces slightly bigger than required and trimming your geese to perfection. The instructions include the sizes that you need to cut your pieces for each size flying geese unit that you would like to make.
For Either Method These Steps need to be Completed First
Step 1 – Cut your pieces to the sizes given in the instructions
Step 2 – Chain piece one sky unit triangle piece to the geese triangle piece.
 Chain Piecing Part 1 for Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Step 3 Open up the units and press the seams flat (I pressed toward the Sky unit)
Step 4 Chain piece your other sky unit to the pressed geese and sky unit.
 Chain Piecing Part 2 for Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Step 5 Open up the units and press the seams flat (this time they just wanted to go the other side, so I let em)
Method One – For Biggest Flying Geese Unit (it’s probably actually method 2, but this is how I used the ruler for my first 100 flying geese!)
Step 1 Place the flying geese unit with the goose pointing up. Lay the ruler on top of the unit so that the triangle and the centre line on the ruler aligns with the top and centre of the goose.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Trim Right and Top Unlike my example, you are a better stitcher and your triangle will actually match to that on the ruler!
Step 2 Trim the excess from the top of and the right side of the ruler.
Step 3 Rotate your flying geese unit 180 degrees so that the goose is now flying down and lay the ruler the same way you did, now with the centre line going through the head of your goose.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Trim 2 Step 4 Trim the excess from the top and right side of the ruler. (I assume that if you are left handed this may be different, but I don’t know anyone who is to check with them right now, if you are and have used this ruler, let me know and I will add info for that) I found it easier here to put more pressure on the top of the ruler (because of the seam at the arrow or goose head) to stop sliding.
Et Voilas, your trimmed Flying Geese Unit!
 Trimmed Flying Geese Unit (Max Size) for Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler it only looks like a gap there ok? it’s the angle I took the shot at 
Method 2 For All Other Size Flying Geese Units
Step 1 Place the flying geese unit with the goose flying up and lay your ruler over the top of the unit so that the top of the triangle and the centre line matches up.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Placement 1 Step 2 Trim the top of the unit to 1/4inch from the apex of the triangle (the nose of the goose or the head of the arrow).
 Mini Fit to be Geese Trim 1 Step 3 Rotate your flying geese unit so that the goose is flying down. Lay the ruler on top of the unit with the bottom of the rectangle of the size of unit you are working with lined up with the bottom and the centre line going through the point. [If you think there is nothing to trim, you are using the wrong rectangle...]
 Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Placement 2 Step 4 Trim the top (technically the bottom) of the unit.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Trim 2 Step 5 Rotate your flying geese unit again now so that the goose is flying to your left. Lay the ruler over the unit, so that the red rectangle that matches the size of your unit is aligned with the sides (actually the top and bottom of your unit). Use the centre line of the red rectangle to ensure your unit is straight. [Again, if things don't look right, you are probably using the wrong lines]
Step 6 Trim the excess from above the ruler.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Placement and Trim 3 Step 7 Rotate your goosey again so that they are flying to your right. Lay your ruler on top again aligning the sides of the red rectangle that matches the size of your flying geese unit. This time in addition to using the centre line of the rectangle to ensure your goose is flying straight, the bottom of the rectangle should also align with the bottom of the unit.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Placement 4 Step 8 Again, trim the excess from the top of the ruler. It looks like there is nothing left to trim there, so I took a closer shot to show you.
 Mini Fit to be Geese Placement 4 for Trim 4 And again, even a gooby like me, who can barely sew straight, is able to produce uniform flying geese.
 Flying Geese Unit trimmed using Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler Any errors, or questions or anything, let me know so I can fix it!
I think it’s appropriate for me to mention that whilst writing this entry I have been munching on Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC to Australians but I know most Americans don’t say that, cos I was heard as saying Cave Sea when saying it!) Wicked Wings. Get it? Wings and Flying Geese… Hardy har har.
PS I am also not affiliated in any way with KFC

Here in Adelaide, and where I was born (and the rest of the Southern Hemisphere) it’s the start of Autumn. Here in Adelaide it means the Adelaide Festival, The Fringe Festival, the Adelaide Cup – conveniently a new public holiday for the Adelaide Cup, which is also conveniently very close to my birthday. St Patrick’s day and getting close to Easter.
So I like March? what about you?
Today I have a few things to talk about
- my parade (no not that parade… my parade)
- the Where the Wind Blows fat quarter pack giveaway at Vignette in Stitches
- I decided to make a list at the top of my post just in case I forgot something whilst writing, and I have already forgotten
The Parade, is the Le Petite Parade for February and can be viewed here on Sinta’s Blog and here on Sherri’s Blog – mine is on Sherri’s blog this time. Coming up we are making a pattern called Endless Summer by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts. After my little tragedy with the black and whites I think I may go back to pre-coordinated fabrics before improvising again.
Here is Sinta’s version of the pattern, isn’t it purty?
 Endless Summer pattern designed by Pam Buda Quilted and Pieced by Sinta Renee (Pic copyright Sinta Renee)
To celebrate the printing of Issue 2 of Vignette Leanne Beasley of Leanne’s House, has passed on a Fat Quarter Pack of Melanie Hurlston’s Where the Wind Blows Fabric Collection, which is used in a project in Issue 2, to Perri, the hostess extroadianaire at Vignette in Stitches Blog, so hurry on over before the 10th March (next Thursday) so you can get a chance to win too!

I’m not sure if I will be stitching any more today, I had one of those days at work where you get into the office, sit down and look up and its 5:30pm. I always explain to people that I turn into (more of (?)) a moron straight after work. It usually takes my brain a few hours to recover, especially after debugging, and I have been debugging this particular code for a while now… Recovery, however, seems a bit elusive today, so I may wander over to the television and numb my brain with something entertaining. You don’t want to know what I find entertaining… he he he
But I am looking forward to spending some quality time with some fresh cottons this week, and have no fear, you will be the first to ‘hear’ about it.
Oh yeah…

 If I Gave you Any More Details it wouldn't be very Sneaky now Would it?

This month, I got around to ordering my pattern for the Le Petite project for February (hosted by the lovely Sherri at A Quilting Life and the also lovely Sinta at Pink Pincushion I think on the 7th of Feb. I ordered it and the Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler (developed by Monica at Open Gate Quilts) from the Fat Quarter Shop. I am in Australia and delivery takes at least a week. Every month we make a teeny quilt. This month it was the Schnibble called Sweet Spot by Carrie of Miss Rosies Quilt Co.
 Sweet Spot Schnibble by Miss Rosies Quilt Co Version 1 Pic by Miss Rosies Quilt Co
I thought I had this brilliant idea to use black and white fabrics with just a hint of red to make it pop, sound’s fabulous right?! wrong 
Here are the pieces after I cut them all out, at this stage, I was still optimistic about the outcome.
 Fabric Selected and Cut for Sweet Spot Schnibble I could still be optimistic, that looks fine doesn’t it? to me there was no hint that this would not work at all. I knew I didn’t have much time (I think I cut on Wednesday night), the quilt top was due for the parade on Monday – and well I had to fit work and some down time in there too!
I started playing with the Mini Fit to be Geese Ruler (I am going to write a separate blog entry/tutorial type thing on this soon, so won’t go into detail here) and got started on the 100 flying geese in this quilt (36 of which are part of the sawtooth star blocks).
 Sweet Spot Progress - First Trimmed Flying Geese Unit  Sweet Spot Flying Geese Units Trimmed and Untrimmed Thursday I was tired when I got home and didn’t do anything. Last night I finished the first 36 flying geese and then got half way through the next 64. At this point, still optimistic about the colour scheme.
I made some sawtooth star blocks, which I thought looked great!
 Sore Tooth he he he Except this one, which I have renamed 
 Saw Tooth Star Blocks for Sweet Spot Schnibble I made some flying geese borders, which on their own also looked fine and I didn’t suspect a thing.
 Sweet Spot Flying Geese Borders and then I put them all together, to get this anticlimactic effort
 Finished Sweet Spot Quilt Top … I am a little disappointed with the lack of contrast in the centre stars and how it came together. Am going to add red blanket stitch around the saw tooth stars and appliqué red circles in the squares where the stars meet. Also adding a red border and then probably going to bind in black, with a red backing.
But hey… it’s Saturday afternoon and I got it done on time, and I’m slightly less frightened of flying geese units and slightly more experienced at piecing. How you doing?
Posted by Q in Craftie Craft, Quilting on February 9, 2011, at 7:50 am
This was extremely scary for me… No offense to Pam and Nicky Lintott… but as a newbie quilter I almost ran screaming.
I am commencing a quilt named High Flying Geese which is on page 30 of the book Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott. I’ve taken a photo of the completed quilt in the book, please do not distribute this, it is copyrighted by Pam and Nicky and I am just using it to illustrate what I am making and to discuss how I am doing with the process. [actually I am not keen on my pics being distributed either, so just be good!]
 High Flying Geese Completed Quilt using Heather Bailey Fabrics - copyright Pam and Nicky Lintott So as you can see, it’s a very pretty quilt. The blocks used are sometimes called a Dutchman’s puzzle according to the book. I recently attempted my first Schnibble quilt which had loads and loads of half square triangles in it, and after completing it, I thought, well maybe I can try the loads and loads of flying geese units I wanted to do with this quilt.
Wait… I also asked my mum for her Jelly Stash Templates which has a template in it for cutting flying geese units but I lost the instructions I wrote down at the quilt show, so wasn’t going to use that. Then I read about the Fit to be Geese ruler, which looks and sounds awesome to use , (hey?! if it’s good enough for Carrie from Miss Rosies Quilt Co, it’s good enough for everyone!) So I ordered that from the Fat Quarter Shop along with the Schnibbles pattern I am making for February (I think I’ll be rushing on that one!); but after reading a bit more I realised that the ruler I am getting (the mini fit to be geese ruler) is not the right size for the flying geese units in the book.
So you can read here about how I took the plunge and cut into my Amy Butler Daisy Chain stash. I also cut up all my background fabric pieces (it’s plain white and would not make an interesting blog post, now would it?)
The instructions seem simple enough, but nobody said that my squares would overlap did they? I thought this was wrong and that I had a) cut all my pieces the wrong size or b) the book said to cut all the pieces the wrong size. The next thing I discovered after googling the bulk flying geese method was that despite my drawing lines and trying to be super accurate, if I did not drastically reduce my seam allowance after I put the unit together, I would inadvertently chop of all the pointy bits which I guess are the geeses’ noses.
Also the book recommends to leave your strip fabric intact and to only cut away the excess background fabric (in my case – and theirs incidentally – plain white), but I don’t get how or why I should leave the strip fabric intact behind my white fabric, aside from the bulk, which is supposed to help keep the geese aligned, the strip pattern would be visible behind each background?! I didn’t get it.
I still don’t actually.
So I trimmed off both the strip fabric and the background fabric and am now totally aghast at the wastage and intend at some point to figure out how or what I can do with all those teeny triangles…
Anyway I forged on and believe after all my angst about what I was doing that the first four blocks worked out ok, and that if I stick to what I have been doing, the rest will to. The blocks are made in pairs, though you can switch the fabrics so that one block has a particular fabric in the centre and then the next one has it on the outside. I chose to make them both the same.
These are the fabrics for block 1 and 2. The first pair.

So, remember the Mon Ami Schnibble I was working on? – I finished the top (well sans borders) it has yet to be quilted, but was what I wanted to do during January because of the Le Petite or Year of Schnibbles Project Hosted by both Sinta on her blog Pink Pincushion and Sherri on her blog A Quilting Life
So on the 1st of the Month, everyone who participated project is paraded on each of their blogs and this month I am proud to be one of the parade!
Here is the post on Sinta’s Blog for the Mon Ami Schnibble Parade 1st Feb 2o11 (I’m in this one – about half way down the post yay!)
Here is the post on Sherri’s Blog – as you can see one pattern can have a life of its own.
As you know I am not the speediest of sewers/quilters, but I did get a start on Miss Perkins, but she is not quite ready for a parade just yet. I tried to attach her legs without a doll needle and was not happy with the results so will be getting that today. Miss Perkins also doesn’t have a mane, tail or eyes just yet. But with the Rosalie Quinlan Fabric Collection by Lecien Fabrics Grandmother’s Flower Garden, she is quite the Melly and Me child isn’t she?
 Partially Completed Mrs Perkins Giraffe from Pattern by Melly and Me -Note to self – Iron On Interfacing does not work well as a photo background he he he
I also got some stash additions yesterday, want to see?
 Three Yards of Pretty Bird Fabric Designed by Pillow and Maxfield for Michael Miller Fabric Whoop Whoop! This arrived yesterday from my mum’s latest Fat Quarter Shop purchase ( I snuck some stuff in there!) and will be use to make the wonderful Stella Handbag pattern by Patty Young!
 8 Fat Quarters from Playdate Collection Designed by Patty Young for Michael Miller Fabrics and speaking of Patty Young and Michael Miller Fabrics, I also added these 8 fat quarters to the stash! – They are not ear marked for anything just yet, but I can’t to have a ‘date’ with them.
And last but definitely not least, my local discount craft store Spotlight has a sale on that started yesterday so I grabbed two of these 25 X 2.5 inch strip rolls which equal one ‘jelly’ roll and are also not yet assigned to a project.

So… with a scant 8 days to spare (get it scant… oh hilarious Q ) I have finished my Mon Ami Quilt Top!
Actually I found out that my seams are probably not not that scant, but more about that later!
I finished the 25 main blocks for my quilt on Friday (21 Jan) and excitedly started laying them out to see what they would look like together. Then I noticed the 1st error, and then the second and then… Well I found 7 blocks that I had made mistakes on. Of the 7 though, 5 of the mistakes were exactly the same, so their must have been some flaw in my piecing production line!
In the pic below you can see 4 of the errors are the same. One block was totally wonky, I must have been half asleep piecing that one!
 Mon Ami Schnibbles Core Blocks Starting Layout but Spotting Errors So just for some added hilarity… I decided to hand stitch the fixing so sat on my bed watching telly and patiently unpicked the errors and started fixing them. I am busy fixing the first block looking at another for reference, and well… I only took the blocks with the errors into my room to work on and left the correct ones in my study/sewing room. So I fixed my block with another error!
Aaargh!! LOL. What a moron. After that I did ok I think.
 Mon Ami Schnibbles Core Blocks Final Layout after Fixing Errors (the ones I noticed!) Anyhoo, then I had all my blocks layed out in the order I thought would work well, by row 2 I had a made a mistake there too (woo hoo!) You see how the background fabric and the contrast fabric (the one that isn’t the star) flip from a vertical to horizontal position in the layout- I sewed the second row incorrectly so I had to move that row somewhere else. I didn’t panic too much about that one, no unpicking required!
 Mon Ami Schnibbles Core Blocks Stitched after Fixing Errors (the ones I noticed!) Anyway so here are the 25 core blocks after I stitched them together. Now smarties would see an error, but I didn’t I was too excited or something..
This centre square was supposed to end up measuring 23inches by 23inches, mine was 22.5 by 22.5 so my seams were less scant than required, but hey it was a square, which is better than I have done in previous projects!
After piecing the blocks, piecing the pieced border was a breeze but yes… you guessed it I made a mistake there too! One of my half square triangles had the wrong side of the fabric facing, so it’s slightly duller than it should be. And if you didnt’ spot the error, but now you have to know what it is, in the middle row in the pic below, the block to the right of the middle block is wrong
Here is my quilt top. I initially cut out outer borders that are the same as the background fabric, but am considering changing that so have not done the outer border just yet.

It took me a while, but I finally read the bit where Carrie explains the name for the Mon Ami Schnibbles Pattern that is being used for January in the quilt-along hosted by Sherri and Sinta. You see it’s a friendship block variation and it’s a Schnibbles so it’s small hence My Little Friend Mon Ami… I was a little daunted after my last piecing effort and convinced that it would be My Little Enemy, but I have started and so far so good!
I am using: a quick quarter II ruler (mad by Quilter’s Rule) to help me with my half square triangles and my newly purchased 6inch square rotating mat and rulers to square up the 2inch by 2inch half square triangles blocks before putting the block together. I also added a magnetic seam guide to my machine to help with my 1/4 inch seams so armed with all this additional assistance I am optimistic about lines potentially meeting where they should!
