This cool block is number eight in the Strawberry Garden book. My friend Thelma (Cupcakes n' Daisies) made this quilt and said on Instgram that it was her favorite block in the book. It had a lot of pieces and is actually four blocks sewn together. It is called Ring Around the Rosie and finishes […]
I am still working on taking apart my setting for Moda BlockHeads 3. These are all the 8-inch blocks. I decided to make several quilts out of the 80-some odd blocks I made for that quilt-along. I really cannot believe I made over 80 blocks in four different sizes and thought I could put them […]
So, here's a good thing. I have kept up with the Cali & Co sew-along, hosted by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. The blocks are all composed of squares and half-square triangles. They are easy, colorful, and fun. What else do you need for a summer sew-along? Just look at how cheerful those blocks are […]
I've got Neutral Granny up on the design wall, and as you see, it is All But Borders. I do hope to get those attached this weekend and send it off for quilting next week. What do you think, does that block on the far right stand out too much? Should I replace it with […]
I got back to working on my Brio/Frivols table runner and am super pleased with how the block turned out. I will probably make five of these blocks for the runner. Maybe more, we shall see. These fabrics are an older American Jane collection which I find so cheerful and fun. I am certainly leaning […]
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 […]
