It was one of those days. I would think I was doing great, and then….Ooops. My seam ripper and I were very close on Thursday. I fixed it, but it kind set the tone for the morning. The 2017 Triangle Gatherings block actually gave me no trouble, unless one of you sees a unit turned […]
I have not been spending a ton of time in my sewing room, but have gotten a couple of things done. The block above is Block #2 from the Moda Block Head Sew Along. This one was designed by Betsy Chutchian, whose fabric lines I have enjoyed. This Sew Along will provide free patterns for […]
This week I have been in the mood to just make blocks. I finished blocks 18 and 19 of the 2017 Triangle Gatherings project, hosted by Lisa Bongean. I am enjoying seeing those blocks on my small design wall, but am afraid I will soon be out of space to display them all. She just […]
It was a beautiful warm early Spring day today, just perfect for starching a fat quarter bundle prior to beginning a new project! I am so happy that the weather is warming up and becoming a bit more sunny. So tired of all the rain we have been getting (I know we need it, blah […]
This Penny Pincher quilt is enormous! I have more or less got it up on the design wall, 11 blocks across and 11 rows down. The blocks on the right end are held up by blue painters tape because I am out of design wall to stick them on, and the bottom two rows are […]

These Courthouse Steps blocks are so addicting, I am not sure I can stop! I have made a dozen and could happily keep going indefinitely. I have been raiding my stash of browns, blacks, rusts, golds and now some greens. Some of these fabrics have made appearances in other favorite quilts I have made, and […]
Well hello Penny Pincher. These blocks just about took my breath away when I put them up on the design wall. Don't the yellow blocks look like they have some kind of internal light source? I had just over 100 blocks and decided it was time to slap them up on the design wall. I […]
I am having so much fun experimenting with making Courthouse Steps blocks! I wanted five fabrics total in each block, and wanted the blocks to be between 6 1/2 and 8 inches finished. After a bit of trial and error, my best effort was a block with a two inch unfinished center square, and strips […]
