Category: Block of the Month
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 […]
I did not get as much done over the weekend as I had hoped to, but I am just so pleased with these five revised A Quilting Life BOM blocks! I made the first one on the upper left as intended, but the second block in the center, I changed up just a bit. The […]
I’ve been sewing along with A Quilting Life’s 2026 free Block of the Month. Sherry always does nice sew-alongs, and this year’s quilt theme is star blocks. I thought that was appropriate for America’s 250th anniversary. However, the original fabric I chose isn’t patriotic, and after making a few blocks, I decided not to continue […]
I think I am coming along pretty well with my Border of the Month project. Here she is, all but the bottom border. The blocks are all made; I just need to sew them together and attach the border to the bottom of the quilt top. You can get a great idea of what the […]
We’ve had such a busy week! If you have been wondering where the heck I’ve been, all is well, it’s just been a lot going on. Sunday we attended a wine and food pairing Ryan was hosting at the winery where he is Associate Winemaker, and Monday was Eva’s birthday. Fun times, but no time […]
The Border of the Month project is coming along. This is the sew-along Corey Yoder is hosting. She has a blog, Coriander Quilts, and a YouTube channel where she talks about the fabric lines she designs for Moda, as well as her ongoing projects and tutorials. I really enjoy following her. Anyway, we started with a simple checkerboard center […]
I finished the last Riley Blake Challenge 2026 block this week. Woo hoo! I am not sure how I will set these 16 blocks, but will come up with something eventually. Right now,they are going to take a rest. These are all the blocks and I am so pleased, both with their complexity and attractiveness. […]
I’ve been finishing up the week with lots of fun sewing. I am not actually sewing on my new 570QE, but rather sewing next to it. lol. It is plugged in and I have played with it, but I am waiting for the table insert to arrive before I start using it regularly. I have […]
How cute is this third block in the Strawberry 26 block-of-the-month sew-along that Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life is hosting? I think this little cake stand is adorable, and honestly, it wasn’t that much of an ordeal to make it in spite of the tiny pieces. The tiny pieces were outweighed by the […]
Loads of catch-up sewing got done this past weekend! I mean LOADS. The two blocks above are the April and May blocks from Sherri McConnell’s A Quilting Life block of the month. The May block on the right was kind of simple for me, so you know what I did? For the center of it, […]
