Category: Block of the Month
I did it! I got all the blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022/23 project finished! Now, I have to say, those bold log cabin alternate blocks absolutely make the quilt, don't you think? I am quite pleased with how it all came together. I'll start sewing the blocks together in rows today. My gorgeous border […]
Good progress is being made with the Log Cabin alternate blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022/23 project. These are actually fun to make and are going together quickly and accurately. It helps me pass the time while sewing to listen to a good audiobook, and I've listened to a couple of them lately, which will […]
I am calling this my Americana Sew Along Sampler Quilt. I made it as a block of the month saga during COVID. It was a sew-along sponsored by Debbie at Piecing the Past Quilts. I forget the name of the sew-along, Comfort and Joy, Peace and Happiness? I forget. It is my Americana Circus Tent. […]

I mentioned a couple of new projects that I had happened upon (or perhaps they happened upon me). One is a block of the month hosted by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. Corey's project is called "Sunny Patches", and that is pretty much how this fabric line feels to me. I am using a very […]
Yesterday I got started making one of the alternate setting blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022 Sew Along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop. The setting for this quilt is gorgeous, featuring alternate blocks such as the Ohio Star above, and some darker Log Cabin blocks. This quilt will be a stunner when it's done. This […]
I am one happy quilter today. Look what came in the mail! A week or so ago I posted that I was sorry I hadn't signed up for the Designer Mystery Block of the Month program back in 2015 because it was the best one Fatquarter Shop ever did. Linda E. contacted me and said […]
Because I need another project to work on right? This is the Designer Mystery BOM sponsored by Fatquartershop.com. The fabrics are Nantucket Summer by Camille Roskelley for Moda. The colors are fabulous, aren't they? Shades of blue and green and a wonderful cream background. This BOM and the fabric for it are so popular, much […]
What a nice week this has been to get caught up on my several sewing projects. The two blocks in the photo above are for the Midnight Moon sew-along. Nothing like a Halloween quilt to pick up one's spirits. Isn't that apple green color divine? It is the perfect accent to a quilt with black […]
