I am all caught up with my Sewcialites blocks. This one is #32 "Bright Block" by Chelsi Stratton. It features four usually very tricky units called "cat's cradle" units. They involve small triangles and often come out wonky and with points cut off. That wasn't going to happen to me, because I have the Creative […]
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 […]
