You all know that I work on multiple projects at a time. I love the variety of having all sorts of different things going on, and I sure never get bored. The following projects are those that I am actively working on each week. I also have projects in line to finish: mainly with borders […]
Eva and I wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day. We had fun decorating some cookies which she will share with her girlfriends at school today. Of course, she had to taste one, and said they are A-OK. After my big Flea Market finish, I wasn't in the mood to tackle anything huge, so […]
The Flea Market posy blocks are coming along. Very slowly. I am completing one in about 20 minutes, which is faster than I was when I first started making them. You can really drag out the time it takes to make a block when you press seams open and trim your units constantly. They are […]
Yesterday I got caught up on the Moda Blockheads blocks. We are up to the fifth block in this second session of block offerings. Last week's block, Morning Star by Barbara Groves is on the left, and Glimmer by Janet Clare is on the right. These are both in the 6 inch size. I know […]
These two blocks are from the current Moda Blockheads 5 block of the week sew-along. The one on the left was designed by April Rosenthal and is the block featured this week. The block on the right was a previous block submitted for this sew-along and was designed by Joanna Figueroa. They are essentially the […]
I've made a good start on the log cabin alternate blocks for the Hourglass quilt. 12 are finished, 13 to go. They come together quickly and easily. This quilt top is going to be finished before I know it! My homemade cranberry reilsh is done. It has oranges and Grand Marnier in it and is […]
I went to my father's house on Sunday to have dinner with the family. We hope to finish emptying out the house soon and letting the realtors spruce things up a bit to prepare it for selling this spring. The sun was shining when I woke up there Monday morning and I went outside to […]
Going into the weekend I thought I would share with you a few things I worked on this week and a couple of great books I am enjoying. This quilt block is the 9th in the Moda Blockheads5 sew-along. It is called Candy Stripe Holly Star or some such thing, but I call it Day […]
I actually had a fairly productive day yesterday. Still blowing my nose a lot, but I feel like I have some energy again. I did some easy sewing. I made 14 more square in a square units for the border of my Apple Sauce quilt. I've got a good-sized pile completed so far. I must […]
I've had a cold/virus this week, and have not had much pep. In my life, for certain I have had colds worse than this one, but it's been enough to curtail my activities. I did cut out most of the alternate blocks for the Apple Sauce quilt top, and I have started making the 80 […]
