My To Do list is a mile long, but it is so nice outside and I have so many books to read…I am doing my best to cram it all in, that’s for sure. I have been working on my Plow and Harvest blocks. The block construction goes quickly when you have all the units […]
This past weekend, I continued to work on the Designer Mystery 2025 BOM blocks. I am really pleased with how well this one came out. It was precision piecing, for sure, to make sure all those intersecting points came out the way they should. I have never made a block quite like this one and […]
I got another Christmas at Granny’s block done. It is the little candy cane one on the lower right. These blocks are fun, but they have a lot of pieces, and many of them are practically microscopic. The block ends up at 14 1/2″ unfinished, but those little center motifs are itty bitty. I had […]
I don’t usually get too controversial on this blog, but have you heard what’s going on at Moda? They are launching the BlockHeads 7 Sew Along, starting Oct. 7. They have advertised on Instagram (click link) and Facebook a photo lineup of the 30 designers contributing to this year’s BlockHeads. All 30 of them are […]
I haven’t done one of these Favorites posts in a while, so I thought I would share a few things that I am really loving right now. Click on the product name in bold and you will go to the link for price info. Mostly clothes and makeup here, but fall is a good time […]
These blocks are from the Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery Block of the Month series for 2025. I really must stop subscribing to these sew-alongs. I certainly have enjoyed some of them in the past, but the whole “mystery” aspect is starting to put me off. The patterns are without fail always good, and the […]
This weekend I enjoyed a few relaxing hours in my sewing room. I dove into the new Fig Tree Plough and Harvest pattern to see just how difficult those blocks were. It turns out they couldn’t be much easier. If you were hesitating about making this quilt, let me see if I can convince you […]
I got two quilts back from my quilter yesterday and I am so pleased with the results! Would you believe I cannot for the life of me recall what this pattern is? If any of you remember, help me out so I can promote it. I think it is so perfect for this time of […]
Have you seen the latest Fig Tree & Co fabric collection, “Butternut and Sage”?. When I saw it, I knew I had to get some, since those fall colors are my favorites. Fig Tree is well-known for its Halloween and Christmas collections. They usually can be counted on to come out with something summery once […]
I didn’t sew much over the weekend (are you tired of hearing me say that?), but I did finish the third and fourth blocks for the Poinsettia Stars project. This is a pattern booklet written by Sherri McConnell featuring her Christmas fabric collection, Poinsettia and Pear. I made Blocks C and D, and to catch […]
