Etsy restocking and listing tonight. I have gradually been moving over items from my Irish Etsy page to the new US one, AcorncornerquiltsUS. It is a bit of a process. A few fruit and veg masks by request and a lot of cards finally listed.

Square in a Square block for @beckyirons who is this month’s #fcmqghybridbee2020 queen. I went with a rainy theme on this weird day, we need some! Rain is far better than wildfire ash.

Sneak peak of my #frameworkquilt designed by @bloomingpoppies
I just finished the quilting and now ready for some binding. This was a fun one to test, I love improv. This pattern is great because it mixes improv with structure. Pattern comes out on Nov 4.

Only 10 days to go for Halloween. This is my youngest son’s favourite holiday, so we make a bit of an effort. I put my 2 #creepyeyesblock (designed by @amarar_creacions )in the web on the right side. This is a great free pattern from her website, I was lucky to test it. My vote sign (designed by me with fpp letters by @amarar_creacions ).

Working on spray basting my #summersampler2020 quilt. It is a 2 sided quilt, but the other side will be revealed soon. Masks come in handy for more than just pandemics and wildfire smoke. I prefer to do this outside, but the smoke is probably just as unhealthy today. Hoping the cooler weather tomorrow helps with the fire(s).

Happy to be using some of the batting which I won in a giveaway from @swimbikequilt who sponsored a prize during #iqguiltfest2020 with @amyscreativeside
It is the perfect size, thank you!

Lots of smoke from the fires today made for some strange lighting. I finished my #summersampler2020 top. It is going to be a two sided quilt , the other side is finished, and I am excited to start quilting it over the next few days. I added some paper pieced paper boats in the middle.

Many thanks to my @fortcollinsmqg hybrid bee mates. These are my early green and black (why am I craving chocolate now?!) bee blocks which are trimmed and ready. I love your green selections so far and all the lovely curves. This is one of my favourite layout options so far for these.

My oldest son said he is 10/5 stars! We love him, such a clever design and beautifully made. He is living on the mantle near my @johndunnautomata piece so he will feel at home.

I love a good #partyinthequiltback aka #quiltmullet. Joining in on the last day, here are my most recently finished quilt backs for @bloomingpoppies #journeyhomequilt. The first one is my mini quilt version (Irish version) and second is the cot sized (Journey to the States version). I used @carolynfriedlander fabrics for the 🇮🇪 one, and a mix of @janeteclare and @zenchicmoda fabrics for the States version. @aurifilthread used for both.

My Grandpa turns 99 today. He is still one of the kindest and peaceful people that I have even known. He was always ready to help anyone out, especially if something needed fixing. He was a master carpenter and and all around handy guy. I come from a long line of people who can ‘make and do.’ I am the most thankful for love and care he showed and taught us all. It is heartbreaking to not be able to see him in his birthday this year.

Spending some time quilting the #summersampleralum

Spending some time quilting the #summersampleralumniquilt which we hope to auction soon to benefit @sjsacademy. @mringer58 sashed the blocks, assembled the top, and found a beautiful fabric for the back. So many beautiful blocks in black and white were given by #summersampler alumni to make this quilt amazing. We will show the whole quilt after it is bound. So thankful for everyone creativity and skill, and to the #summersampler block designers who made their own quilt for auction which inspired the alumni quilt.

Thankful for being able to vote, and not by absent

Thankful for being able to vote, and not by absentee ballot. Thankful that Colorado is set up to vote easily for everyone. It is frustrating to see deliberate voter suppression and confusion in so many States. Research and vote. Think and vote. Make lists of candidates values that they actually represent. Do not vote to ‘toe the party line,’ despite the candidate. Vote with empathy, advocacy, and compassion for others. Do not vote for greed, hatred, spite, or to diminish other people’s basic rights.

Getting my National Quilt Museum BOM quilt ready t

Getting my National Quilt Museum BOM quilt ready to go to the @nationalquiltmuseum to be displayed for a few months starting in mid October. It is an incredible privilege to have my quilt chosen to be displayed amongst so many amazing quilts. I joined the BOM in January to get the #eraseinjustice block pattern offered by @sjsacademy and designed by @quirkygranolagirl (based on a Youth Artist block). It is such a powerful block, which I didn’t see as controversial at all. I was soon surprised by the opposition to this block. Who is opposed to erasing injustice?! Apparently a lot of people. Anyway, I made the block and decided to make a few more blocks. I learned a few new techniques, caught up, and carried on with the rest of the blocks. I ended up loving the blocks and finished my quilt. The erase injustice block led me to join in the #sjsabom which is ongoing and has become a real passion. I am very thankful the National Quilt Museum for their Block of the Month program and their quality of content in general.

One of my favourite patterns of this year is now out in @makemodernmagazine. I was lucky enough to test #starlikequilt designed by @amarar_creacions back in June, and I can finally show it. Another clever pattern from Catalina, Starlike has plenty of options to customise. I like how the star has a very organic feel to it. I made my version using @janeteclare Geometry prints and her Texture fabrics. Check out @amarar_creacions to see more colour ways.

Not much sewing being done today. Prepping for the massive temp drop and snow (it was 100 degrees yesterday). The garden is still going strong, so the beds are now covered. It looks more like my kids made crazy forts. We even brought the newly planted (very late planting) Garden Tower in. My lads are so helpful when it is important. Fingers crossed for plants and trees, but the forest fires are a lot more worrying. We have friends who live close and it has been many weeks of worry for them. From here it is just yellow fog that is snowing ash. Hoping the snow gets the fires under control quickly for so many people’s safety.

It speaks about the inequity of wealth distribution in the States. A tiny percent of Americans (1%) are getting most of the pie, which leaves a huge amount of people with a small slice.

I decided to make a centre or corners for my quilt using 4 of these blocks, but it ended up too bright to go with the rest (see last photo). Now they will be on the back in the centre. I am having a hard time choosing which layout I like best, any opinions welcome! So I started over and made a bluer version for the main quilt. Fun, quick pattern, thank you! Second photos is all of the main blocks so far.

Somethings that @verdelobosproject posted yesterda

Somethings that @verdelobosproject posted yesterday resonated with me. He is a brilliant writer and inspiring parent, and was talking about taking his boys to art galleries and the importance of ‘radical imagination.’ Words to live by and hopes for my boys too. I grew up in a family that lives these words. Creating is essential for feeding the soul, ‘Dream, create, build and repeat.’ He says it much better than me, so have a look at his post. His words inspired this mini quilt as a reminder. The middle pattern is from the most recent #summersampler2020 block, Glimpse, and the fabrics are all @carriebloomston

Quilting finished and fresh out of the wash, #flyingmywayquilt designed by @amarar_creacions. Thankful for the opportunity to test this new pattern for Catalina. She always has wonderful designs and well thought out patterns. @amarar_creacions has a discount on this one for a few more days. I enjoyed quilting this one on my domestic machine and trying some new free motion ideas along with some echo quilting.
Fabric is by Carolyn Friedlander (front) and Janet Clare (back). I rarely use a non pieced back, but Janet’s fabric reminded me of flight pattern maps, and I just love it.

Nice quick border to bring out the greens and let it stop spinning. Fabric is Geometry by @janeteclare
and a few of her Texture fabrics.

#moroccansunquilt top is finished and will be batted and backed very soon. Fun quilt with a few little twists. I love the secondary shapes that it makes. @deannaquilts will be releasing this pattern soon very soon.
I used @carriebloomston fabrics (Wish and Story lines) and Kona white, on my pattern testing version.

Taking a virtual holiday with this new origami paper airplane quilt by @amarar_creacions
I finished my version of #flyingmywayquilt this afternoon and put it out to fly in the breeze. It is always a delight to pattern test for Catalina, her patterns are precise, beautiful, and clever. She also writes each one in English, Spanish and Catalan, with 2 paper formats in English.
I used some favourite fabrics from @carolynfriedlander. I have been thinking of quilting ideas while piecing, looking forward to the next step.

@amarar_creacions has a new block out today to joi

@amarar_creacions has a new block out today to join in to the Quilt Block Mania blog hop. I was delighted to test her Origami Paper Plane pattern. @amarar_creacions has just released a quilt to go with this block which is amazing. I am working on it now and will share progress soon. Catalina has offered a special discount on the full pattern, see her site for details.
I used @carolynfriedlander fabrics for this block and in the full mini quilt (in progress). Her ledger fabric is one of my all time favourites and is perfect for paper airplanes, and just about everything else.

Equity in Education is the topic for the August block for #sjsabom
This block was designed by @benmillett who was inspired by Stephanie B, a SJSA youth activist/artist.
This block speaks about the desperate inequity in education for students of colour. 2nd photo explains more of the symbolism of the 6 lines and the 4 pencils.
The book Pushout by @monique.w.morris is a must read educators, parents, and everyone else. Eye-opening and wonderfully written!

My wonderful mum, Eileen Alexander, made the Brae block from the #summersampler2020 for the #summersampleralumniquilt. This block was designed by @missmake. My mum is not on social media but I wanted to share it, because I am proud of her and the block. Gorgeous block and I am so thankful for her desire to help.

@mringer58 and I requested black and white blocks made from the current or past Summer Samplers to honour the Black Lives Matter movement and to directly benefit the Social Justice Sewing Academy. We will be auctioning the finished quilt in the autumn. @sjsacademy enables youth activists to be seen and heard through the medium of fabric. So many brilliant blocks have already been made and shared.

I have spent the last two weeks learning about #atatianajefferson for a project with @sew4justice_sjsa

Atatiana (Tay) Jefferson was a 28 year old pre-med student, who was shot in her home on October 12, 2019, by UNANNOUNCED police. She was playing video games with her 8 year old nephew, when a neighbour called the non emergency police line because her door was open and wanted someone to check if she was ok. Senseless violence has no place in our world, especially against Black people doing things that white people take for granted (playing video games, bird watching, listening to music, sleeping...) Her mother said, ‘You were going to change the world. I believe you still will.’ Remember her! People need to wake up to this violence, change their thinking, and stop this brutality.
