Well, this would be a one block quilt that I started over a year ago, packed up into a project box and put away in the closet. As you see, I had made a bunch of blocks. I certainly had cut out a lot of strips. But where were the instructions? Was the block from […]
It may not be 296 days of self-isolation, but it sure feels like it. I had a live video phone call with one of my sisters yesterday and I was embarrassed to have dirty hair, no makeup and sweats on. She looked much better than I did, I assure you. It was nice to at […]
I am not quite finished sewing my Laundry Basket Mystery rows together, but hope to tackle that today. Only about five seams to sew. I took a break from that project and worked on something where I could just sit and stitch and watch Netflix. I pulled out my Star Studded Event projects and made […]
Well, that was intense! 100 blocks in fifteen days. Whew. I got it done though, and am glad I can sew the blocks together and call this a finish. I did end up changing out some of the fabrics in the last blocks. As we got closer to the center of the quilt, the colors […]
Is that not the most beautiful pull of fabric? It is what I am planning to use for the Comfort and Joy quilt-along hosted by Piecing the Past. I had it all in my stash, and only ordered a few more backgrounds. I love Civil War reproduction fabrics as you know, but I am especially […]
Filling time, or doing time? We are getting by either way. Today along with our homeschooling, we made a chocolate cake. It starts with a cake mix, but tastes a lot fancier. It is a Pioneer Woman recipe called Top Secret Chocolate Cake. It was so good, as tasted and reviewed by Chef Eva. We […]
Happy April Fools Day! It is also my sister Andrea's birthday, so Happy Birthday too. She posts super pretty pictures on Instagram, you should check her out. She'd love it if you said hi. She has a unique and beautiful style and sticks with it. Eva and I did a little seasonal decorating yesterday. We […]
This Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt will be finished before I know it. Only 20 more blocks to go, and since we make 4 to 8 blocks a day, this will wrap up pretty quickly. The blocks above are 8, 9, 10, and 11. I forget which is which, but the most recent one I did […]
This is a big announcement for me. So often kind people who are interested in reading my blog ask me how they can follow me and receive notifications when I post. Duh. I am not very tech-savvy, and I have never known how to make that happen. "I don't know, just check-in every weekday?" is […]
These are the five days of blocks I have made for the Laundry Basket Mystery Sew Along. 36 blocks in five days. This sew along is intense, I tell you. Honestly, I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with eight new blocks a day. And that is ok. I am […]
