One of my new summer projects is going to be this pattern by Carried Away, called Window Garden. I have always loved the Cat's Cradle block and this will really show off a pretty fabric collection I plan to use. Years ago I bought this Moda kit using a Lella Boutique collection called Farmer's Daughter. […]
I got back up in the sewing room and let me tell you: I have plans. Mercantile blocks need to be trimmed and sewn together. That project is on hold until I receive the additional backing fabric required for my setting triangles. So I decided to work on the first of my three summery projects, […]
This cute block is called Patchwork Star and is one of the last five blocks in the Mercantile sew-along, hosted by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. I am enjoying making the blocks and think the quilt is going to be lovely, but to be honest, I am looking forward to having the sew-along […]
I have not shared much about this block-of-the-month program, because I haven't been working on it. I signed up a year ago and the 11th month just arrived yesterday. The box where I was storing the monthly packages was getting full, so I opened it up yesterday and decided it was time to start in […]

I've got something cute for you today. A new mug rug pattern that would be an adorable Christmas gift. I think I may make a batch of them and give them to some of my besties for Fall/Halloween season. Who wouldn't love a seasonal mug rug? The pattern is "Centerpiece Tablemats" designed by Terri Staats […]
Look at this adorable pattern using Corey Yoder's Spring Brook fabrics. The pattern is free on Fatquatershop.com, and I plan to make it with two charm packs and a bit of extra yardage. The quilt is a mini, at about 30 inches square. How cute would this be on an Easter dining table? Or any […]
I am getting quite excited about sewing this new project. It is Summer in Kansas by Carrie Nelson. I want to make this quilt exactly like she did because I can't imagine it being any more perfect. She used two different collections, Canning Day by Corry Yoder in the photo above, and Summer Sweet by […]
Sometimes you see a quilt and you just have to make it exactly as shown. Typically I will change up a pattern or fabric to suit myself, but sometimes…I just want what the other person made. This photo from the Moda website is Summer in Kansas, a Cake Mix quilt pattern by Carrie Nelson. She […]
You have to admit this is the most perfect mug rug ever. I am just so pleased with this and want to make one for every woman in my life. If you need a cute, last-minute gift for someone, this might do the trick for you too. The pattern is a block from one of […]
