I admit it, I have been stalled on the Moda Blockheads Sew Along because I couldn't figure out how I would sew the blocks together in a cohesive manner. I knew I wanted to use an alternate block, and I liked the idea of a single Irish chain, but it took me awhile to get […]
I am almost finished with these Courthouse Steps blocks. I have completed 74 and need a total of 81. Honestly, I have probably made more than 74, because I keep remaking some of the books that have colors I don't like so much. When I first started making the blocks, I used a bright orange/rust […]
Over the weekend I started a little tessellating table runner for my coffee table. I've had the pattern for ages, it's an old Teri Atkinson called Pinwheel Puzzle. I do not think it is currently available, but you may have it in your stash and not even realize it, just like i did. Anyway, […]
This week I have been focusing on my S'Mores quilt. S'Mores is a design by Jo Morton, which I first saw on Instagram. I am switching up my version however. I am making 4 inch finished square in a square blocks, and will separate them with a tan lattice. My blocks are all red and […]
Admittedly, I did not accomplish as much as I had hoped with this little project yesterday. I had an appointment to get my hair cut in town and my husband tagged along with me, in the hope he could persuade my stylist to give him a trim at the same time. She did, and with […]
I have really enjoyed the two sew alongs in which I participated in 2017. Triangle Gatherings by Lisa Bongean and Moda BlockHeads by Moda. The nature of both these sew alongs is that one would make one block a week for the BlockHeads, and one or more blocks per week for Triangle Gatherings. My […]
Still working on Courthouse Steps blocks here. I have made 49 out of 80, so I am more than half way there. I am enjoying the mix of fabrics and the interplay of the lights and darks. And since it really is a quilt made from leftovers, there are lots of memories to revisit from […]
I did the random number generator thing and Pat Seidle is the winner of the three Jo Morton/Kim Diehl books. I am sure she will be able to keep track of them better than I was! Enjoy them Pat, and happy sewing. Now that my design wall is all cleared off, I have brought out […]
Here is sweet little Barn Stars, a Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots offering from a couple of years ago. I had subscribed to the bi monthly kits, but quit the club when I realized the kits were piling up and I wasn't making them. I have recently dipped back into that bin of kits and have […]
This scrappy nine patch quilt was inspired by a plastic bag full of 2 inch squares left over from another project, and the pattern "Loose Change" by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. The pattern is in a book called Miss Rosie's Quilt Collection. The Miss Rosie quilt is made from 2 1/4" strip sets. Since I […]
