Ellen’s Christmas Party is a 3-color, 3-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 81 x 81 inches. In case you are wondering about the quilt name, EQ7 calls what is commonly known as the 54/40 block “Garden Party” in their block library. That coupled with a Snowball block led me to name this quilt Christmas Party.
This design uses the Inklingo 9″ Storm at Sea and Half Square Triangle 00B Collections. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana and Stonehenge by Northcott.
Ellen (Burton) Pollitt is my 4th great grandmother. She was born in Lancashire, England about 1780. She is a fairly new name in my Williamson line. I was thrilled to find Ellen’s marriage record to James Pollitt early on in record searches because that gave me her maiden name. Sometimes a woman’s maiden name is elusive. Now to confirm who her parents were…

Quilting with Inklingo – Snowball Quilt Blocks
Inklingo Celtic Solstice Mystery with Bonnie Hunter
This is a video for Clue 1 of Bonnie Hunter’s Celtic Solstice Mystery but it has great information about printing and sewing the half diamonds and star points.

Catherine’s Crooked Path is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 90 x 90 inches. I used an on-point setting for this quilt to add more interest to the Cleopatra’s Puzzle block.
This design uses the Inklingo 4 inch Drunkards Path Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana and Stonehenge by Northcott.

This is another quilt to honor the brave and strong women of my Irish-Canadian roots.

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.

Bridget’s Storm is a 2-color, 3-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 75 x 75 inches. The Storm at Sea block opens itself up for many coloring variations that create secondary designs in the quilt. The quilt featured here is a simple coloring of the Storm at Sea block.
This design uses the Inklingo 9 inch Storm at Sea Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Stonehenge by Northcott.
There are a number of Bridgets and Catherines in my Irish-Canadian lines. A few my female Irish-Canadian ancestors crossed the ocean from Ireland to start new lives in New Brunswick, Canada and many more were born in New Brunswick. The few that crossed the ocean came with families or as single women. Today and tomorrow’s quilts are dedicated to all the women of my Irish-Canadian roots.
