I’m all caught up with the A Quilting Life Sew Along for 2026. The blocks above are January through June. Look at me, right on schedule. The BOM is hosted by Sherri McConnell (one of the nicest people ever), who offers a new completely free BOM each year. This year the blocks all have a […]
I only finished two more of the 4th of July at Granny’s blocks, but that’s ok. I need to be easier on myself. I got my nails done, shopped for the makings of Italian Sausage/Mushroom Soup, and read my book. All in all, it’s been a great day. Oh, I also walked with my friend […]
Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. Dennis and I have had so many errands this week, and we have ventured out together to take care of a lot of boring things. Today may be more of the same, but I hope to get some sewing in. The last Riley Blake Challenge block is […]
These are blocks 12 and 14 in the Riley Blake Challenge 2026 sew-along. In this sew-along, we get a new block every week, so it will be wrapping up pretty quickly compared to some of the other BOMs I am participating in. The block on the right is a block I substituted for the actual […]
I pulled myself away from the French General fabrics and decided to try to get caught up on the blocks for the Riley Blake Challenge. The bottom two blocks are blocks 9 and 10. They were fairly challenging, both of them. I am undecided if they really blend in well with the other blocks I […]
I made another flower block with the Old Glory leftovers and I think they will make a pretty, summery quilt. I enjoy making quilts that all have the same block, but with different fabrics in each one. The variety in choosing three different prints for each block is fun. There are a few things I […]
What have I been up to? A bit of this and a bit of that. Over the weekend, I got the notion to take a look at the Old Glory fabric collection I had been using for a sew-along last year. I had abandoned the sew-along halfway through because I was unhappy with how the […]
Monday started out well. I had clean sheets on my bed and slept like a baby, my coffee was good in the morning, and I had a day that was wide open for whatever adventures I chose to embark upon. It turns out that my adventures consisted of sewing for a bit, taking the dog […]
I had a great weekend sewing! I made good progress on the Bliss blocks, which are at the bottom of the photograph. There are 12 blocks in total, and the setting is very interesting, with lots of red flying geese and some red center stars. This is a quilt where the setting really makes the […]
I have the book, my fabric is all starched and pressed, and I want to work on a new project. The Celebrate America 250 Years sew-along is supposed to start “sometime in February”. But I don’t know when, and I am itching to get going. I’ve seen the schedule and can see that we are […]
