In my last post I proudly showed you my present block, which was block #2 in the Christmas at Granny's sew along. Oops. I totally cut it out wrong. How come nobody told me? No worries, there is more fabric where that came from. I remade the block and cut it properly this time, on […]
I am happy to say I was able to do a bit of sewing over the weekend. I started the Christmas at Granny's Quilt Along hosted by My Sew Quilty Life, and really like the first block. My fabrics are mostly reds and greens and backgrounds from Lori Holt's Hometown Holiday collection. There is a […]
I thought it was time to get back to my August Piece and Quilt blocks while it is still August. I am quite happy with these two blocks. The red one is Maple Leaf and the blue and grey one is Texas Puzzle. I've laid the blocks out as they will be positioned in the […]
Isn't she cute? This is the first block in the Spooky and Sweet Halloween Mystery sew along Fat Quarter Shop did a month or so ago. I like to know how my mystery projects end up before I plunge in and I thought this was a pretty fun Halloween project. I have to tell you […]
Hey there, remember this adorable table runner kit from Riley Blake? It is called Let's Pop Some Corn and was designed by Sandy Gervais. The kit features one of her fabric lines called Awesome Autumn. I have loved Sandy's fabric collections for years and nothing puts me in a late summer, early fall mood better […]
Every time I make a new block I feel as if I have a new favorite. This cutie is Star Flower, designed by Christine Weld of thequarterinch.blogspot.com for the Moda Bakeshop Summer in the Country sew along of a few years back. Construction was pretty simple, but I do recommend going slowly and making sure […]
I have a confession to make. I've been holding out on you in regard to yet another sew-along I find myself unable to resist. Have you heard of the Piece and Quilt sew-along hosted by Moda Fabrics? It is based on the Celebrate with Quilts book by Lissa Alexander and Susan Ache, two designers who […]
Here we are with Block 14 in the Summer in the Country sew-along. Not much more to go! This Summer Kites block was an easy one designed by Lisa Jo Girodat. I changed up the instructions a bit and used my Creative Grids Cat's Cradle ruler to make the two units with the large floral […]
"Blue Ribbon", designed by Anne Wiens, wins the prize for the cutest block in the Summer in the Country sew-along in my opinion! I adore this block. It wasn't hard to piece, but I do have a tip or two for you. We need to make some hourglass units for this block. The instructions say […]
This is probably the easiest block in the Summer in the Country sew-along. Block 10 is Firefly, designed by Michele Kuhns of Crayon Box Studio. This block took me less than 30 minutes to make, including cutting. The fact that it was 102 degrees and I did not want to spend one extra minute up […]
