How cute is this block? It is the 18th block in the Sewcialites Sew Along hosted by Fatquartershop. This one was designed by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. I had no issues with this block, even though it was classified as for an "experienced" sewer. Well, I guess I am, but mainly it was trouble-free […]
Woo hoo! My first seven blocks are finished! I tell you I am having so much fun making these blocks, I do not want to stop. I kept stealing upstairs to play with fabric or stitch for a bit yesterday. Eva must have thought I had some sort of digestive upset. I kept saying "I'll […]
All I can say is THIS IS REALLY FUN! Oh sorry, I was shouting. But seriously, this Little Blocks 365 is a blast. I was pretty busy with homeschooling yesterday but managed to squeeze in the time to make the first two blocks. I was in no hurry and completely took my time. I probably […]
One of the things I'd like to get better at in 2021 is paper piecing. Recently while scrolling through Instagram, I came across some people who are participating in a paper piecing sew along hosted by Sentimental Stitches. This sew-along is called Little Blocks 365. These creative people shared photos of their blocks and I […]
I think I mentioned in a previous post that my son gave me a large quantity of beautiful French General fabrics in dark pinks and faded reds. As it happens, the most recent issue of American Patchwork and Quilting has featured a gorgeous basket quilt made with French General fabrics. I was so inspired, I […]
We find ourselves coming up on week 17 of the Sewcialites Sew Along hosted by Fatquarter Shop and Kimberly Jolly. These are the two most recent blocks I have made, week 15 "Genuine", designed by Lori Holt, and week 16 "Friendship", designed by Carrie Nelson. I tell you, that block 16 had me reaching for […]
I have made 15 Sewcialites blocks since I switched fabrics/colors a month or two ago. I do like this combination of reds, blacks, and tans. I have to say that I am really enjoying the sew along and also the Friday YouTube videos Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop puts out each week. They are […]
I had a lot of leftovers from my recent Red Pineapple finish. Normally, I am not one to fret about using up leftover fabric, but I had an idea for what to do with them. I have had foundation paper piecing on my mind lately and purchased a couple of the 6" Log Cabin paper […]
I enjoy starting out the new year with a blue and white project. Typically they are small table toppers. For some reason, I always associate blue and white with the month of January. This year Moda Fabrics is kicking off the first weekend in the new year with a Log Cabin sew-along. There is a […]
Happy New Year friends! I hope you all started the year off healthy and full of hope for a great 2021. My husband and I managed to stay up, or should I say wake up at midnight to give each other a smooch and a Happy New Year wish. There was lots of banging and […]
