Category: Block of the Month
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, […]
This block may have taken a while, but the results are sure worth it. I had to use the seam ripper a few times, but in the end, it all came together. This is the second block of the Strawberry 2026 Sew Along, hosted by Heather over at My Sew Quilty Life. I have to […]
I was all set to make the second block in the A Quilting Life BOM, and I got sick! This was unexpected and quite annoying, as I had plans. Dennis is away having his infusions and I can sew all day and not have to cook. My time is really my own. It just was […]
Remember this? It is the Riley Blake Design Challenge 2025, the sew-along I was not going to participate in. That being declared, I did make most of the blocks. I went at my own pace, and substituted a block here and there when I didn't care for the monthly offering. The Riley Blake Designer challenges […]
I made a few more blocks for the Designer Mystery 2024 quilt. I may eliminate that block on the lower left. I think it's too red, and also the house pattern is placed weirdly. I like the block however, and may re-do it with aqua as the center color and just a touch of red […]
I wasn't going to do it. I waited until the last minute. In fact, I waited until all the BOM subscriptions were sold out. Then they released a few more, and I caved in and signed up. This is the Fat Quarter Shop's Designer Mystery Block of the Month for 2025. The featured fabric is […]
This is the Cali and Co block of the month #6. It is so colorful and fun, I have to say. This quilt sure does use a lot of half square triangles! This is a sew along Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts is doing. Of course it isn't too late to join in, and the […]
This is block 2 of the Cali & Co sew along that Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts is hosting. I am using several collections of fabric for this sew along: some from Coriander Quilts and some scraps from some Sherri & Chelsi projects. They are all bright clear colors that will work great together in […]
