I was playing around in the sewing room on Saturday, and decided to add another appliqué block to my Moda Blockheads collection. For the setting I am thinking of, I may need some extra blocks. I have been having so much fun with the appliqué blocks, I thought one more might be just the thing. […]
This is Moda Blockheads block #28, designed by Jan Patek. It looks better from a distance, but all in all, I think it is pretty cute. I added a little birdie for extra interest. I haven't gotten much sewing done this week, alas. I was out of town having medical appointments early in the […]
I am making good progress with my Triangle Gatherings blocks. I think I will do two and a half more rows and this top will be done. So that is 14 more blocks. I pretty much love everything about this project. I switched gears 30 some blocks into the sew along. I had started out […]
Who doesn't love a little nine patch block? These are 3 1/2 inches unfinished and will surround an appliqué block. I got the idea from a new book I purchased with some of that birthday bounty that came my way. Simple Friendships, a collaboration by Kim Diehl and Jo Morton. Now, you sure can't go […]
If you have't yet gotten in the mood for 4th of July, making this little block ought to do the trick! It is the 16th block in the ModaBlockheads Sew Along, designed by Jan Patek. I knew I had some patriotic fabric stashed away somewhere, and after a good amount of rummaging, I located it. […]
This was week number 16 in the ModaBlockheads Sew Along. The block of the week was an appliqué block by Jan Patek featuring two tiny American flags. The block called for a red and white striped fabric for the flags, which I did not have, to my surprise. I rummaged around in my 150 degree […]
We got home from 36 degree temperatures and snow to a heat wave! Temperatures at home are expected to be in the triple digits through next week. What a crazy world we live in. Despite the chilly weather, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves on our little get away. It is always nice to take […]
I made another Feathers block, and fixed the first one I had put together incorrectly. Hopefully by the time I make a half dozen or so of these little blocks I will have the hang of it and not have to do so much un-sewing! Not much sewing for me this past weekend, as my […]
When I saw this Feathers pattern by The Pattern Basket, I knew I had to make it. Eva loves birds and these scrappy little cutie pies will be adorable on a quilt in her bedroom. This is not going to be a weekend project, I can tell you that right up front. I think each […]
I made a couple more triangle blocks for the 2017 Triangle Gatherings sew along. Isn't it fun how the star points frame and highlight the different 4 1/2" center squares? The blocks were fun on their own, but the cohesiveness the star surrounds give them really elevates the look. Someone asked me if I […]
