The Moda BlockHeads first sew along (2018) was so much fun. I found it challenging and interesting and am very pleased with my blocks on the whole. I am still fooling around with the various blocks-rearranging them, remaking some of them, etc. But this is basically what my final layout will be. I plan to […]
When I realized I needed more six inch blocks for the setting I have in mind for my BlockHeads1 sampler quilt, I started searching for block resources. The Summer Moon Block of the Month was quite popular last year, and a book has been published to go along with the sew along. The blocks in […]
First Flake is finished! I am happy to have had the experience of making this fun and easy strip-pieced quilt. The pattern was purchased by me as a pdf download from an Etsy seller. I was inspired by Thelma's red and white version and will be excited to add this to my January/Winter decor. It […]
I am so darned excited about this sew along, only two weeks into it. I like the block designs that have been posted, but I especially love my fabric choice. I have cracked into my fat eighth bundle of 3 Sisters Holly Berry collection, but I have other coordinating collections on hand that I can […]
Lots of stitching going on, and I actually have something to show for it. I completed my little red stars table runner and love how it turned out. I just made a whole bunch of 3 1/2" stars and sewed them together diagonally with a 2 inch border. It will be nice for all sorts […]
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 […]
