Sewcialites is finally off the design wall! Woo hoo! All the rows are sewn together and the borders attached. I have to say, those blocks all came together pretty perfectly. No fudging was required when sewing them together, which is unusual. I credit careful cutting, a strict 1/4" seam allowance, pressing seams open, and starching […]
Aren't these little Churn Dash blocks adorable? They are 4 1/2 inches square. They are the next step in the Flea Market Sew Along I am doing with Lori Holt. A cool thing about these little blocks is that they are made in an unexpected way. There are no half square triangles involved! Lori has […]
This is the re-do of my Sewcialites quilt and I am so much happier with it. Before I tell you why, here is a photo of the previous version, which fell short for me: So, here's what I did to change it up. I had accidently used a background fabric that was too light on […]
I had to remake a few of my Sewcialites blocks. The bottom two had to be redone because I had used that too light background fabric. Thanks to Julie for pointing one of them out, and then I noticed another one. The block at the top had to be redone because my new gazillion-dollar Rowenta […]
I feel as if I've been on vacation for two weeks. Today is the day I get back on a schedule though. I plan to make the most of any free time I have during the week and not lose momentum with my projects. The red and white blocks above are week nine of Lori […]
I am actually completely thrilled with this photo. I have finished all 12 blocks for the Fat Quarter Shop 2011 Designer Mystery Quilt! Can you imagine? These blocks were just scraps of fabric that languished in a tub for 11 years. Well, no more languishing. They are going to become a quilt. But there was […]
Another productive sewing day for me yesterday. This has been quite the week for getting my mojo back. I finished the fourth and fifth blocks in my 2011 Designer Mystery BOM. The setting is going to be so cute. I will be making little stem units so it appears that each block is a flower. […]
The New Year has gotten off to a great start for me. My goal is to tackle my large number of UFOs and either finish them or let them go. It's probably not surprising that I was drawn right back into the Lori Holt Red Sampler quilt. I had completed only six weeks of the […]
Another table topper back from my quilter. I used Sandy Gervais fabrics for this one. I loved it when she designed for Moda. Her colors are so rich and saturated. I know she is still designing, but I am not sure for whom. Does anyone know? I miss her collections. I don't think I used […]
I set a goal to finish the last row of the Serendipity Sew Along Quilt this week and I did it! I still have to sew the rows together and attach the borders, but that is a goal for another week. I really love the colors in this quilt and know I will enjoy putting […]
