This beautiful block is Block #37, "Fixer Upper", of the Moda BlockHeads 3 Sew Along. You can check the Moda website/blog for a complete archive of the blocks so far released in this sew-along. There are some wonderful free patterns in four different block sizes, so you would be wise to at least download them […]
Oh my, I am in love with this! These blocks are made with Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Cupcake Mix Foundation Papers #1. What you see above is 16 blocks made with the papers and a charm pack of "Late Bloomers" by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I have loved the experience of paper piecing, and working […]
After prepping my honey bun over the weekend, I was all set to try out my new It's Sew Emma Log Cabin Foundation Paper. I used the 6-inch size with my honey bun of Squirrelly Girl. The papers were straight forward enough, and I got up to speed by watching a YouTube video first. Here […]
Hello friends. I hope you all are having a good week. I've been busy with homeschooling, so not much sewing action is going on. I did get into the sewing room for a couple of hours, though. Pre-cuts have been on my mind from our discussion earlier this week. I am itching to get into […]
On Sunday, I put together nine or so of the American Pie blocks I've been working on hit or miss this summer. I found myself vaguely dissatisfied with them and can't put my finger on why. Do you think I should add another color or two into the mix? I've got red, rust, green, brown, […]
This post is a quickie, not the block. This block is Moda BlockHeads 3 block #33. And it was a doozy for sure. I am not afraid of curved piecing, and in fact, rather enjoy it. This block, however, was a challenge. It was designed by Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chic and is called Walking […]
I put in a few hours of sewing over the weekend, and the Maple Leaves blocks are finished and being sewn together. The batik fabrics are so pretty. It is like I am working with little jewels. What I am really enjoying is the lighter background. Many of my fall table toppers and runners are […]
Eva and I had a busy day with homeschool Monday. She is doing assessment tests in reading and math, which are super hard and take a very long time. She's been a trooper though and we got through about half of the reading test. We will finish up on Tuesday then go on to math. […]
Remember this project? It is a one-block quilt called American Pie, an older pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company that lends itself beautifully to scrap busting. I picked it up at the beginning of the pandemic, thinking it would be a fun project to occupy me for a few weeks while we sheltered in place. […]
What is your name for this quilt block? I call it "Square in a Square", but many quilters refer to it as "Economy Block". Whatever you call it, it can be a tricky one. You start with a center square and surround it with two rounds of corner triangles. The edges of the corner triangles […]
