These are the first 12 blocks I've made in the Sewcialites 2 sew-along. I think I swapped out one block I didn't like with a different 9-inch quilt block pattern. Middle row, last on the right I think. I am using the Flower Pot collection by Lella Boutique for Moda. The navy blue colorway in […]
I don't have much to share this week, sadly. My work assignments have been taking up all my time, so there hasn't been much sewing. I did finish a Designer Mystery block, but that is all I've managed. I am listening to an excellent audiobook. Dominicana by Angie Cruz is a backlist title from 2019 […]
Does anyone remember this UFO? It is a pattern called Take It Easy by Primitive Gatherings that uses one or two jelly rolls. I don't know if you can still get the pattern. I checked on their website and couldn't find it. I chose it for my January UFO Challenge. I decided I couldn't be […]
I buckled down and finished making those darn square in a square blocks for the Family Reunion quilt. I then cut out the 7/8" wide lattice strips that separate them. I made good progress with those and hope to get this darn project done and off the design wall this week. Are you interested in […]
Rain? We've got rain. Wind? We've got wind. Flooding? So many roads in our area are closed. Power? Luckily yes. Internet? Finally back on. Rain hitting sewing room window. Whew, my area of California is sure getting hit with some weather. We had no internet all of yesterday and many neighbors did not have power […]
During the past couple of weeks, I have had an opportunity to putter around in my sewing room and take a look at the many projects I have started over the past couple of years and have not finished. Sharing the care of my father was a privilege, but it definitely prevented me from keeping […]
I am having so much fun with these little village blocks from the Fat Quarter Shop 2015 Designer Mystery kit. This is the Schoolhouse if you couldn't tell. Love the little flag and bell tower. Fast forward seven years to the 2022 Designer Mystery project for block #6 designed by April Rosenthal. That plaid was […]
This is the most recent block in the free Sewcialites 2 sew-along Fatquartershop is hosting. I can't remember the name of the block, but it is 6th in the sew-along and was designed by Camille Roskelley. I am using the Flower Pot fabric collection by Lella Boutique and making the 9-inch blocks. I had so […]
I am so enjoying my house this holiday season. As I write this post, I have the entire place to myself and I am relishing the quiet and peace. That is my little reading nook in the photo above. I spent some time in that chair finishing "Hester", the book I described in yesterday's post. […]
It's a Quilt Shop! How cute is that? The Designer Mystery 2015 Block 6 is a quilt shop. What a perfect addition to our village. It's coming along, my little village. My tiny star blocks are progressing too, but gosh, they are slow going. Very fussy to make those little 2 1/2" center stars. My […]
