Category: Blocks
Oh my gosh, look what I found yesterday. Way up high on a closet shelf there was a project box labeled "Granny Blocks". When I pulled it down I was blown away to discover these quilt blocks made from a Pam Kitty Morning collection for LakeHouse Fabrics. I must have made these seven years ago. […]
This is positively, absolutely, definitely, the very last Moda Blockheads 3 block. I think there are 98 total blocks, more if I count the ones I remade or made and then decided not to use. Good grief I have been working on this project forever. I know it is boring, but I really need to […]
These pretty red blocks are some that I made for the Sewcialites Sew Along, sponsored by Fatquartershop.com. I also have a group of black/cream blocks and a group of gold/cream blocks. I think this is going to be a striking quilt when it is put together. And it won't be long until the finish now! […]
I am so proud of myself for keeping up with the Sewcialites blocks every week. This one is #28 Hope by April Rosenthal. It definitely is not my favorite in this sew-along. I wish I had thought of a way to make it more interesting because to me, it just isn't. Used over and over […]
Yesterday I got cracking on the third row of the Serendipity Quilt sew-along. You can bet I double-checked to be sure I hadn't made these blocks already. Ha ha. These blocks use the Courthouse Steps foundation papers from Fatquartershop.com. The papers are an option, you can also make the blocks the traditional way. I really […]
It's been a couple of weeks since I worked on the Serendipity Sew Along. I had a couple of hours yesterday afternoon, so I thought I would put Kimberly on my iPad and stitch along with her on what they are calling "Release Two", which is the second row of the quilt. (Remind me to […]
Here is last Friday's Sewcialites block "Earnest" designed by Vanessa Christensen of V & Co. I wasn't loving the tone of my gold blocks, so I had a rummage through my stash and pulled out a few more pieces that leaned more gold than tan. So you see my pull from stash below. All starched […]
I don't have much sewing to show for my time, but I did finish last week's Sewcialite block. "Courage" by Joanna Figueroa, #26 in the sew-along. It was pretty easy. I do like the crispness of the cream against the red. The red fabric was a small scrap of some Minick and Simpson collection I […]
I went back to work on my Album blocks yesterday. And realized I had made the first four of them wrong. The second and sixth rows are supposed to be made with 3 1/2" long strips of colored fabric, and I had used strips that were 2 1/2". Arghhh. I sure did not want to […]
What a busy day we had yesterday! Eva had her swim class at 11 to 12 and I had my second COVID shot at 1. I felt like I was in a big rush to get places only to have to wait once I arrived. At least I got to read my book while Eva […]
