I had a productive weekend, spending most of it with my dad and no sewing machine. The two of us had a pleasant time together, and I stayed to make him a nice Easter breakfast. My sisters planned to see him for dinner and make it as festive as possible. He kept asking all week […]
Ah, what a treat it is to be able to just stay home and sew. I am making the most of this week, that is for sure. I had purchased a honey bun of At Home by Bonnie and Camille that I wanted to make use of. I needed to find a pattern that used […]
Isn't this pull of fabric happy? It is a combination of Lori Holt's "Prim" and "Flea Market", Corey Yoder's "Spring Brook", and Lily Ashbury's "Fancy". I think Lily Ashbury was ahead of her time with those fun bright-hued fabrics. They are hugely popular now with designers such as Lori Holt and April Rosenthal putting out […]
I can't seem to stop myself. This Moda BlockHeads 3 quilt is never going to be done. I keep thinking I need to add more "cute" blocks to it. You have to admit, that fat blue bee is pretty darn adorable. So naturally I had to give him a house. Isn't that little bee skep […]
Woo hoo, more progress has been made on the Little Village quilt. I got all the middle of the quilt lattices on. This Sunday when I get home from my father's I will put on the top, bottom and sides. Next comes a solid red containment border and finally an outer border of a cream […]
I revisited my Little Village house blocks yesterday. I had finished 12 of the 16 blocks and decided I needed a kick in the pants to finish up those last four blocks and get this done. None of the blocks was difficult, even the pinwheel one on the upper right. I think I will re-do […]
I had to share two more cute blocks with you. The Dahlia and the Beehive blocks are from Lori Holt's Farmhouse Vintage 2 book. I love the whimsical element that they add to the quilt top. They add to the heart/love theme of the quilt and tell a story about the things that make me […]
Cherries. How cute is this quilt block? I got it out of the Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage 1 book. It is a 6-inch block, so the pieces are pretty tiny, but it wasn't too bad to make. It took some time, but wasn't difficult. I think it is adorable. I have been plugging along […]
For the setting I have in mind for the Moda Blockheads 3 sew-along, I have found that I need to make some additional blocks in the 12-inch and 6-inch sizes. I am actually having fun going through various sources looking for blocks in those sizes. This 12-inch block is from a Moda Bake Shop sew […]
I grabbed a couple of hours yesterday and got caught up with my Sewcialites blocks. The most recent ones are the two on the bottom. #20 "Honor" by Lisa Bongean is the tan block on the bottom right. Super easy block (which is a surprise from Lisa!), but I still managed to sew the strips […]
