http://www.joliemaxtin.com/2015/03/beach-house-mini-challenge.html
March 23, 2015. Beach House Mini Challenge. I belong to the Fort Worth Modern Quilt Guild and our challenge for February included mini-charm squares, generously provided by Moda {Thank you United Notions! We had a lot of latitude, make a mini quilt which doesn't exceed 24 x 24. Gah! It was so hard for me. Why? Yeah, mine is basic basic basic. How could sewing little squares together be so difficult? Well, I had to turn this into a positive. When I showed it at our meeting, it wasn't bound yet (call m...

Jolie Maxtin: May 2015
http://www.joliemaxtin.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
May 17, 2015. Great Pillow Fight Spring 2015. This round of the Great Pillow Fight was delightful! I received this beauty from Stephanie of Creative Reveries. It is perfect for me. Rainbow colors with text fabric. I love love love it! This is the pillow that I made for Kelleigh. From the sounds of her post, it was as much of a hit for her as what Stephanie made for me. I LOVE to swap and this round was absolutely perfect, on both sides! Links to this post. May 14, 2015. Sneak Peak at Sisterhood. That hur...

Made By Cola: December 2012
http://madebycola.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 2, 2012. My work in progress. That I shared yesterday turned into this:. I convinced my husband that instead of a big real tree this year, we have a smaller fake one. Our condo living room is quite small and the big tree takes up a ton of space (and blocks part of the TV). I also didn't feel like cleaning the pine needles out of my convertible that we use to bring it home in. :) This year I bought a super cute small pre-lit 4' tree. And needed a new skirt.

Made By Cola: Fireworks Block
http://madebycola.blogspot.com/2013/09/fireworks-block.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. I bought the Fireworks pattern. From Thimble Blossoms and i quickly jumped onto making this block. It took me many hours, and I don't have intentions for a full quilt using these fabrics, but I just really wanted to make it! I'm not sure what I'm going to turn it into. a pillow. a mini quilt. no idea! It's a 16" block, so if it went to a pillow I'd have to sash it to 20". I'm leaning towards a mini quilt as I type this. I need more decorations in my messy sewing room :). Now f...

Made By Cola: Work in Progress
http://madebycola.blogspot.com/2012/12/work-in-progress.html
Saturday, December 1, 2012. I had the urge to work with Christmas fabrics. so I started cutting and sewing these last weekend. The result was a pile of these triangles:. I'll share what this turns into soon! It's hard getting good pictures with limited daylight hours! December 1, 2012 at 9:26 AM. It looks like an octagonal orb in the making!

Jolie Maxtin: March 2015
http://www.joliemaxtin.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
March 24, 2015. I tested this for Diane of fromblankpages. And this pattern is the Cadillac version. One, it is available in 6", 12" 18" and 24". Yes, that 24" is a whopper and the size I tested. I wanted to also use this as a pillow cover, but am not sure if it will make the cut. I think my color choices were perhaps a bit off. Enough about color and back to the pattern! Let's talk about cutting templates. I usually think they are a waste and I don't need them. Links to this post. March 23, 2015. I belo...

Jolie Maxtin: Sneak Peak at Sisterhood
http://www.joliemaxtin.com/2015/05/sneak-peak-at-sisterhood.html
May 14, 2015. Sneak Peak at Sisterhood. I belong to a sewing circle with an absolute perfect group of ladies. We live all over the US (and Canada too) and get together once a year for a retreat in Amish Country. For 2015, we are doing a traveling quilt. Each person participating started their quilt with 4 blocks and a roadmap for what they envision. Every 45 days, the quilt gets passed along to the next person in line. Here are the two granny square blocks, along with my thoughts. What do you think?
