First Hourglass Block by Mary Lou F

I was going to try and get the panel with all the double hour glass squares around it, but, ran out of time and mojo.

This one is "First Hourglass Block"

Plan B by Liz R

 I was making a Lovely table topper, and I got very ill. And we had weather power outages. So it isn't quite done.

PLAN B:

But, I made myself an HOURGLASS GLASSES CASE. It is done and being used.

I loved this challenge. I learned new skills. I had never made hourglasses before. I love them. I watched several tutorials.

I hope next time is better, and that I didn't miss the deadline.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had fun.

Hourglass Mini Placemat by Teri D

Hourglass Mini Placemat 

I originally thought about making a bunch of little hourglass blocks with bigger blocks for a border. Then I realized that was exactly the same as the quilt (Color Me Crazy) I started several months ago! I really didn't have any other ideas. I just kept thinking that I really just needed to make something for my desk at school. I tend to eat my lunch at my desk. They heat from my Lean Cuisines already messed up the finish in one spot. I've been just piling up a bunch of paper towels every day, so it doesn't make a new spot. I decided to make an Iowa State mini placemat, but I didn't like any of my "solid" fabrics. I found some fun prints in my stash for a red and yellow placemat, which is the Iowa State Colors. My third graders will love it!

Black Widow Pillow by Tracy R

Black Widow Pillow.

24 x 24 ish. Made in Madison WI. Printed image from movie promotions and traced on wax paper then copied to fusible. Could have done that in one step. Then had input from the Blue Bar Quilt late night sewing crew on hourglass scale. Quilted lite to keep images crisp.

Time After Time by Amanda R

PQ15. 4

3.5"x7.5"
'Time After Time'

I made this wrist cuff with denim and thin fleece in between. Gathered scraps of 'anything goes' kind of stuff.. lace/buttons etc.. Some odd earrings would be nice too!!

 

Even the triangles were cut off from something.. I found a pile of them! This was great fun to make plonking bits of wool and lace ect on... I then sewed some velcro on each end to close..

 

Then I wore it to my local pub last night!!

Sands of Time by Nancy H

Sands of Time
PQ 15.4 Hourglass

This week’s theme is Hourglass. I did hourglass blocks for water and sky. Had to put some flamingoes in the sand and a sun in the sky.

My quilt is 7”x5”. #ProjectQuilting #pqSeason15

This was created for an online challenge called Project Quilting. You get a week to complete a whole quilt based on a theme. Prizes will be given out by random drawing. Each week is a different theme. Here is the link to see all the entries: https://kimlapacek.com/2024/02/15-4-hourglass-challenge-4-of-project-quilting-season-15.html

I decided to make all 6 PQ challenges 7”x5” this year so I’ll have a set of postcards when I’m done. For the label, I’m writing on the back with a fabric marker.

Hourglass by Shirley C

PQ 15.4 Hourglass

Created by Shirley Campbell

Continuing my trend of making a useful item, I made a potholder/hot pad out of recycled denim. I left the edges raw hoping that it will fray nicely after being washed. It’s 9 1/2 inches square.

Hourglass by Jessica K

Here is my challenge quilt for the hour glass theme. I made a table runner this time. My personal challenge is to try new tools and techniques so this week I tried to design a pattern for the first time. I also learned a lot if trouble shooting techniques as my machine kept eating the thread. I figured it out though! Yay!

Linda's Star by Linda B

2 Challenges in 1! The Virginia Quilt Museum issued a mini-quit challenge of your favorite traditional quilt block due in early April. I had already picked out this pattern, Linda's Star, from Quilter's Cache, when PQ15.4 was posted. 

It was a no brainer to adjust the pattern to 15" square to meet the VQM requirements. I just made it a little bit sooner than anticipated.

Hourglass by Maren R

Still traveling, so when i read the headline: "make a whole Quilt in one week" i panicked a little bit and thought impossible with hand sewing for me ( had a bedsize Quilt in mind). Already searching for a machine trader where i might use a machine for a while....then i continued reading and calmed. o k. possible even with hand sewing, but nevertheless visited the trader. Machines could not be used but i found something interesting: Already Quilted fabric.

So i went Marcel Duchamp like and bought my ready made quilted fabric, nicely squared up, made a border all by hand and embroidered the hourglass structure.

when i finished i discovered i embroidered the backside. Oh my ! Alzheimer at 52 that's bad.....

My husband thinks it is just a sign that i made even the backside beautiful so that i did not discover it until i took the pictures. Well how kind.....

25*25cm

had a lot of fun but glad that i will have my machine for the next challenge.

Hourglass by Robyn W

PQ15.4 “HOURGLASS”
Robyn Wimmer


Hourglass…hmm.

Technically, I’m not much of a real quilter; I prefer calling myself a Fiber Arts artist.

In fact, I can only think of a few quilt patterns I’ve ever followed including two Five Patch quilts for my twin granddaughters. Maybe a few Bento Box lap quilts, a couple of Turning Twenties. But most of the time, it’s random blocks, usually for a Project Linus or Guild/Church donation.

When Trisha announced PQ15.4 “Hourglass” I wasn’t interested in doing the traditional block. Instead, I immediately thought of my life. Well, my husband’s and mine…

I created an hourglass along with question marks because we’re beginning to ask ourselves, “How much longer should we live at the lake? When should we sell? Where should we move? What are we going to do with all our stuff?

My hourglass is filled with a lot of love but we still have plenty of room for more although I doubt we’ll find another beautiful pine forest to surround us. It’ll most likely be in a city with services close by!

Hourglass by Carol P

My modern HOURGLASS mug rug auditions a block from a recently purchased pattern by the same name. (by Quilt and Dagger Design (#ad))

This color choice reminded me of the greens and gold of St Patty’s Day. The paper piecing assures a nice crisp finish.
