I thought I'd share some tips on working with teeny tiny pieces with you. The block above is the October pumpkin block I made for the Calendar Quilt I have been working on. The pumpkin block is by Lori Holt from one of her Farm Girl Vintage books. And it has a gazillion itty bitty […]
Sorry for the lack of recent posts. Typepad (my blog host) has been down for the longest time. Had me worried there that it might not come back. But, here I am, minus the hair I pulled out in frustration. I have been so busy, honestly. I have finished all the blocks for the calendar […]
Meet Miss July, the next block in the Calendar Quilt. Yippee, I am more than halfway through the year! This block is one of Lori Holt's from her first Farm Girl Vintage book. It is called "Old Glory". If you are new here, this quilt I am making was inspired by Sherri McConnell's (of A […]
I swear each block I make for this calendar quilt is cuter than the last one. I don't remember when I have had so much fun making quilt blocks. The block above is for May, "May Flowers". The tulips block pattern is from one of the Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage books. Next we have, […]
I've been a bit under the weather this past weekend so not much sewing happened. I did make up for my lack of activity yesterday, however, and finished two more of my monthly blocks for my Calendar Log Cabin quilt. The January block, as you can see, is a cute little mitten. April is an […]
"Whaaat? Another project, you say? And a Block of the Month? Seriously, Nicole, I thought you swore off these things for 2025?" No, no, no. The project I have in mind is technically a Block of the Month hosted by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. But I don't have a year to get it […]
Lot's of sewing went on this week. Nothing actually finished, but I do have a lot of irons in the fire right now. The photo above is my Strawberry Garden project. I finished up three blocks with flying geese and six little pinwheel blocks. I love these fabrics and colors. These are blocks for the […]
Well, I've got a sore wrist and feel like my life consists of nothing but trimming half-square triangles. 144 half-square triangles if I recall correctly. That is a lot, and I am thoroughly sick of it and haven't even finished half of them yet. These half-square triangles are for the Frivols 8 "Brio" table runner […]
I made a couple more blocks for the Riley Blake Challenge 2025 project. This quilt is evolving into a red yellow and green quilt! I think I like it. I am only using scraps from my Lori Holt bin and am determined not to buy a thing for this project. I don't know how I […]
This is Block 6 in the 2025 Riley Blake Challenge, Starburst, designed by Amber Elliott. I've been fooling around with this sew-along, not fully committed to seeing it through. There have been six blocks so far and I've done four. It is a gorgeous block, but the way the pattern instructions directed, I thought there […]
