Helen Helen’s Sugar Bowl is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 72 x 72 inches. This block is known as “Pin Cushion” but EQ7 calls a 2 x 2 version “Sugar Bowl.”

This design uses the either one of the Inklingo Orange Peel Collections. I provided cutting and printing information for the Orange Peel Deluxe Collection as that is the one I have. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.

Helen [McEvoy] Duthie is my maternal grandmother. She was born in 1909 in New Brunswick, Canada. She lived in and around the area known now as Miramichi. She married Lawrence Duthie in 1935. They had 5 children–my mom is the oldest. The house that my grandparents lived in had no central heating or indoor plumbing. I guess grandpa never thought it was important… There were chamber pots under all the beds and I think the water pump was in the kitchen or a back porch/mud room area. [I should ask my mom.] Grandma cooked on a wood burning stove. My grandma was a strong woman. When my grandmother passed away in 1979, my mom inherited a set of grandma’s dishes. My daughter-in-law has them today–including Helen’s sugar bowl.

Sewing Curves Without Pins

This is how I sew curves. (I dislike pinning!) I use a 3M Command Strip pasted along the side of my presser foot to help as a guide also. You need to be sure to use your 1/4″ presser foot if you are going to use a Command Strip as a guide. When I am done sewing curves, the Command Strip removes easily from my machine bed.
