March was a great reading month for me, with three 5 star books and three that were over 4 stars! I can’t wait to share these books with you and hope that you might give them a try and enjoy them as much as I did. Five books were read in print, three were digital, […]
I am playing along with the Fat Quarter Shop’s Sewcialites 3 sew-along, but I can’t promise my version will end up looking anything like theirs. I am definitely doing my own thing here. The block above is my finished 18″ center medallion. I was heavily inspired by a woman who posts on the Sewcialites Facebook […]
I have generated some interest in French General fabrics with my latest post, so I thought I would show you some of the quilts I have made over the years using them. I have always loved their elegant fabric collections and have purchased a lot in my quilting history. I have also accumulated a very […]
We’ve been talking about French General fabrics, and I got to thinking…. Dangerous, I know! Fat Quarter Shop has their annual Sewcialites sew-along going on, and I know I said I wasn’t going to do it, but… I hate their setting, but I have been wanting to do a medallion-style quilt for a while. There […]
I got busy this weekend and sorted out the backings for a couple of quilts that I have been meaning to send off to my quilters. The Red Pineapple quilt has been done for ages, but because of all the bias edges, I wanted to add a narrow outside border to keep things from stretching […]
I brought out some colorful quilts yesterday. Spring is here, and I want to celebrate! These quilts were all made a few years back, but still bring a smile to my face. Don’t you just love the cheer that some color adds to the mix? Let me tell you about the quilts. The quilt above […]
In other news, I just got this quilt back from my quilter! It is Sewcialites 2, a sew-along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop a couple of years ago. It was fun to make, with various designers contributing quilt block patterns each week. I loved everything about the sew-along, except for the setting. So I came […]
Another one bites the dustAnother one bites the dustAnd another one gone, and another one goneAnother one bites the dust One of my favorite old songs by Queen is on my lips today. Can you guess why? Because I finished my Applesauce quilt! Cute as it is, I can’t say I am a fan of […]
I had a serious talk with myself this past weekend. I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the number of projects I have going on, the number of unfinished projects that I have set aside, and the number of quilts piling up that need to be quilted. I feel that I am being irresponsible by starting […]
Oh my goodness, this week has turned out to be so busy! The weather has been nice, and I have taken advantage of it to start sorting out our garage, where things seem to get out of hand fairly regularly. That is a job that can’t be done in a day, but I do try […]
