I got back to working on my Brio/Frivols table runner and am super pleased with how the block turned out. I will probably make five of these blocks for the runner. Maybe more, we shall see. These fabrics are an older American Jane collection which I find so cheerful and fun. I am certainly leaning […]
Well, I've got a sore wrist and feel like my life consists of nothing but trimming half-square triangles. 144 half-square triangles if I recall correctly. That is a lot, and I am thoroughly sick of it and haven't even finished half of them yet. These half-square triangles are for the Frivols 8 "Brio" table runner […]
Do you remember back in 2016 Moda Fabrics did something called Frivols? Each month they came out with an adorable little tin that had a current fabric line and pattern from one of their designers. Finishing kits were available as well. The program was quite pricey, but I collected 11 out of the 12 tins […]
The winner of my little contest this week to see if anybody was reading my posts is Claire! I swear I did the random number generator thing, but I have to admit she left me the kindest message: "I am a relatively new subscriber and was so thrilled to discover your blog a couple of […]
I am one happy quilter today. Look what came in the mail! A week or so ago I posted that I was sorry I hadn't signed up for the Designer Mystery Block of the Month program back in 2015 because it was the best one Fatquarter Shop ever did. Linda E. contacted me and said […]
I will be slipping just under the wire with my April mug rugs. I gifted my daughter and three friends with the "Mug Rug of the Month" at Christmas. I have actually given them October through March so far. I thought these little baskets would be cute for Easter month. They could also work for […]
I am actually completely thrilled with this photo. I have finished all 12 blocks for the Fat Quarter Shop 2011 Designer Mystery Quilt! Can you imagine? These blocks were just scraps of fabric that languished in a tub for 11 years. Well, no more languishing. They are going to become a quilt. But there was […]
Thank you all so so much for all your encouragement and kind words yesterday regarding my father's vision issues. We saw the specialist, who was a total rock star (evidently he is extremely well regarded in his area of specialization). The procedure was a bit of an ordeal, particularly as my dad is 94 and […]
I am excited to share that Gail S. is the winner of the Lori Holt book "Farm Girl Vintage". The random number generator thing was used, and her comment was the number that came up. I hope she will enjoy the book, as I highly recommend it for the variety of patterns and remarkably clear […]
I hope you all had a nice weekend. Our weather turned cold and rainy, so I spent a lot of time inside reading my books. I zoomed through a couple of them, so at the end of the month, I should have a decent number to review for you. My husband had a hankering for […]
