THE ‘GO WITH GOD’ BAG

Over the Christmas Holidays

I began making A Place for Everything Bag.

BY Annie

The first time I saw it another Quilter had made it.

I said, " Oh my…I have to make that bag."

She replied "Go With God!"

That scared me but also intrigued me.

Sew I began gathering all the pieces and parts

to begin this challenge!

I knew I wanted to use some OOP Ghastlies Fabrics 

That didn’t have the characters on them.

I broke it down into sections that I knew I had the skill set to finish.

Like cutting and labeling the pieces

Lots of pieces and parts to this one.

I was taking it very slow.

I quilted everything that needed quilted.

Made the biased binding.

Some new skills for me, like zipper tape

And putting in the slides.

LOTS of sticky notes just trying to stay organized.

I went slow and didn’t sew on it every day.

It’s coming along, sorta!

I’ll stopped to work on other projects.

I'll get back to it…

GHASTLIES NATION

There's a flag that needs to fly high

over Ghastlies Manor, in Ghastlies Nation!

and I plan to make that idea

into a fun quilt with Ghastlies fabric!

I'll use the Stars and Stripes pattern

by Thimbleblossoms.

I just love all the Basketweaves that AH fabrics

have made to go along with all the wonderful

Ghastlies prints.

Just laying out the ideas

keeps me happy and well, quite Ghastlie!

This should be sewn as my first project,

next Kwilty Girls retreat in April, 2026!

WELCOME ENARA BLAIR!

JANUARY 29, 2026

Enara Blair Chatman

came into this world

as part of Clan Gordon.

I used a Lil'Red jelly roll for the fabric.

Sew of course, Lil Red Ridinghood books 

had to go with the quilt!

And truly the quilt was...

A few month later...

Look at those sweet cheeks.

The family lives in Washington DC area,

FLIPPIN A WONKY LOG

It always begins with a thought, an idea.

How can I make a traditional block, feel modern 

Or a bit wonky?

I pulled some scraps and decided yellow would be

The centered focus piece for the block.

I had lots of blues and low volumes to use as the logs.

I like to use letters to organize the sewing.

Then stack the pieces one atop the others.

Move to the sewing machine

making one block at a time. 

I wasn’t comfortable chain piecing.

I sewed a stack of 

12 Traditional Log Cabin blocks.

Onto the design wall, ready for the next move.

I had lots of solid yellow that became

 the wonky frames on the

traditionally sewn blocks.

Yep this is gonna work!

I quilted this one on my domestic machine.

I began by stitching in the ditch if all the log seams.

Then did a back and forth straight organic line 

In the yellow triangle sections.

9 blocks became wonky side of my quilt.

Three traditional blocks were set in a vertical line with a

small dot  print set on white background 

You can really see the fun wonky quilting on this side.

So here’s my Let’s Get Wonky bound with a

print that’s already in the quikt blocks. 

It’s a two-sided project I’ll use

in my upcoming trunk shows that captures

My Modern-Traditionalist style !

And my sweet hubby in his obligatory pose

with my finished quilt.
