Here is a UFO from the vaults for sure. This is my Red Pineapple Quilt, begun in 2012. Seriously. Every year I drag out the project box and re-visit these blocks and make one or two more. As you see, I have enough blocks to make a decent sized quilt. As shown the top would […]
I've gotten a bit behind in my Moda BlockHeads sew along and wanted to get caught up this week. The one above, #34, I had been putting off for obvious reasons. Lisa Bongean designed this one. I opted for the 12" block for this pattern. I know, what a coward, right? Gosh, it's hard to […]
The Internet has been all a-buzz about jelly rolls in the past couple of weeks, so of course, I had to do something with them too. Primitive Gatherings has just come out with a really pretty new collection called "Redwork Gatherings," as well as a pattern, especially for jelly rolls. This quilt is so easy. […]
This is the first block in the new "Sewcialites" sew-along I couldn't resist joining. The block is called Harmony and was designed by Lissa Alexander. Fatquartershop.com is sponsoring the completely free sew-along, and a lot of well-known designers are participating with block designs. The sew-along goes through next June. Block sizes are 3", 6", and […]
See what I mean? I made the block on the left as part of the Moda BlockHeads 3 Sew-Along. Block #37 "Broken Dishes" by Laurie Simpson. My first effort did not have much contrast. It's ok but look at the difference in the block on the right. Greater contrast in the color tones makes the […]
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, […]
