Isn't she cute? This is the first block in the Spooky and Sweet Halloween Mystery sew along Fat Quarter Shop did a month or so ago. I like to know how my mystery projects end up before I plunge in and I thought this was a pretty fun Halloween project. I have to tell you […]
I have a confession to make. I've been holding out on you in regard to yet another sew-along I find myself unable to resist. Have you heard of the Piece and Quilt sew-along hosted by Moda Fabrics? It is based on the Celebrate with Quilts book by Lissa Alexander and Susan Ache, two designers who […]
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 […]

Beginners and more experienced qulters: this quilt will be right up your alley. Corey publishes detailed instructions on her website Coriander Quilts, […]
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 […]
