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 […]

This pattern is by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. The pattern instructions are very good, but Sherri has a YouTube channel where she gives tips for […]
Borders are boring, borders are boring, borders are boring. Ok, I got that out of my system. As you can see in the photo above, I did get the 5th border on the Border of the Month Quilt sew-along that Corey Yoder is hosting. If I hate borders so much, you may ask, Why did […]
Finally, a new project up on the design wall. This one is called Christmas at Granny’s, a sew-along that Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life hosted a year or so ago. I set it aside for some reason and have just now brought it out again. The quilt has nine blocks total, and as […]
Don’t you just love a long weekend for getting things done? I focused on getting several projects either caught up or completely done and I am happy to say I did all right. This is Halloween Figs, and it now has all its borders and is ready to be sent out for quilting. I also […]
See, I can get some sewing done if I put my mind to it. I got all caught up with the A Quiltitng Life BOM, just in time for the September block to be released next week. I am so glad I switched gears with this sew-along and am using up my stash of Old […]
Photo from Skinnytaste While many of you are still experiencing super hot weather, ours has cooled down dramatically. So much, in fact, that I decided soup weather has arrived. I’ve been following Weight Watchers for the past couple of months because I wanted to lose 10 pounds that I had gained due to inattentive eating […]
