September 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on September 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogMy wild rose. These bloom every spring through the summer and are deer resistant, not like domesticated roses and have been very inspirational. This quilt was included in my book “A Thread Runs Through it….” published in 1999. I still have copies available at a special price, if you are interested. You can see more […]

August 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on August 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogThis month was an easy pick, I could only “pick” Violet! The aroma of violets is so lovely I have them growing in an old tin wash tub with Columbine on my upper deck. If I want flowers around here I have to grow them in pots out of reach of the deer and ground […]

Stash Busting Little Girl Dresses
Posted on July 18, 2017 by bdieges in BlogJust a quick note to share what I have been doing, besides appliqué. Our little granddaughter loves dresses. I have lots of patterns from the 1970s when I made dresses for my daughters, but I was looking for something simple. I found several sources with free patterns for A-line dresses. I thought I would make […]

July 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on July 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogFinally caught up with myself! This has been a month of distractions. As some of you might know but for those who don’t, we took a 10-day hiatus from home and computer. The train to San Antonio was our mode of transportation. We went for our oldest grand daughter’s graduation. We were thrilled to hear […]

June 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on June 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogThis month we have two blocks to get in thirteen for the year and not lap over into January. One is a familiar flower and the other is not, but it starts with S. I just loved the simplistic look of it. I decided to use blue, rather than lavender for my flowers. It may […]

Cat got the Canary
Posted on May 26, 2017 by bdieges in BlogWhat???? Just a quick note to let you know what I have been up to this month, besides appliquéing. Completed some MENDING!! What a concept for a quilter and worked on the following project too, which only took a couple hours. This was more to my liking. I really enjoy Laurel Burch designs, especially her […]

May 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on May 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogThe obvious flower choice for this month would have been the Rose, but as I was researching other flowers that begin with R, I came across this one. Most of us probably call it Hibiscus, but it is also known as Rose of Sharon. Since this is also the name of a popular quilt appliqué […]

April 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on April 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogI had a tough time deciding what I was going to do for Q since there are very few choices. At first I was thinking of Quercus for oak, but the flower would be very hard to appliqué, yes there are oak flowers; all pollen and not much more. So, Quince, it is! As I design […]

March 2017 Block of the Month
Posted on March 1, 2017 by bdieges in BlogGlad that I got this month’s block done early, almost done with April’s block! On top of the fact that the pansy flower is perfect for the letter “P”, it is perfect for this month, because with Spring here pansies are popping up in gardens everywhere, and now in quilts. Besides they are happy flowers, they […]

Woof! Woof!
Posted on February 16, 2017 by bdieges in BlogWaggly Tail is a fun popular pattern that I designed a number of years ago to counter my Nine Lives pattern. A few days ago, I received an email from Barb W. asking if the block could be enlarged, since she wanted to include it in a quilt she is making. I gave her a few […]
