I probably have no business starting up another Moda Blockheads project, since I never finished putting my blocks together for the first Moda Blockheads sew along in 2017/18. I do have all my lovely blocks from that one, and need to figure out a setting for them. I used Kansas Troubles fabric for that sew […]
It's been a minute since I have done in sewing, but after a few days without power, I thought I should be more grateful for my electricity and actually use it. I got up to the sewing room yesterday and brought out an unlabeled project that I started back in May. Five months ago. When […]
Can you even? Is this not the cutest little Halloween block ever? Actually, it is two blocks from the Night Flight pattern by Basic Grey. The fabric is Hallo Harvest by Basic Grey. This was a $130 purchase I do not regret whatsoever. I am thinking I may not make the entire quilt, but make […]
I have been snagging an hour or so every now and then to work on some blocks I started a few months back. I am trimming off my triangles, but not tossing them. Oh no, this time I am being frugal and turning them into half square triangles. I used to scoff at friends who […]
I've got a couple dozen of these blocks done so far, and am pleased with the ease at which they can be turned out. I have put my iron right next to my sewing machine so I can avoid getting up to the pressing station, which saves time and steps. I have been cutting out […]
Didn't we have great comments yesterday to my complaints of not feeling inspired to sew lately? My gosh, so many of you weighed in with ideas for projects that were exciting to you. The enthusiasm just leapt off the page. If that wasn't a shot in the arm, I don't know what would be! I […]
My latest distraction from reorganizing my sewing room is this little mini quilt in the Corn and Beans block. I got my little pieces all cut out and sorted with my Alphabitties. If you don't have Alphabitties, you might want to consider adding some to your collection of sewing notions. They are double sided plastic […]
I couldn't help myself. I just had to make week 2 and week 3 blocks for the Aunt Addie Mystery Sew Along. The blocks are fun, and I am enjoying my teal and brown fabrics from my stash. Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 I keep worrying that I won't like the quilt when the […]
Thank you all so much for all your suggestions on how to be more successful with making this block. There are so many ways to get to a good result: make half square triangles instead of sewing triangles to the square, hand piece the block, paper piece the block and more. For me though, it […]
Six more blocks are done, and this is my progress so far. Not too many more to go. Not much to report this week. I have been reading a really good book, "Daisy Jones and The Six", a story loosely based on the rock band Fleetwood Mac. It is really engrossing, and if you grew […]
