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 […]
I finished the first Neutral Granny block and am quite pleased with how it turned out. When I purchased these fabrics from the 3 Sisters Cascade collection, I had in mind to make an entire quilt with it. The idea of a neutral table runner is really appealing to me, however. Can't you imagine it […]
My sewing was a bit hit or miss this past weekend, but I did get the borders on Base Camp. I think this is a fun quick project for a fall table runner. The pattern is called Base Camp and is by Sweetwater. The pattern is for a quilt, but I adapted it for the […]
Today's post is a mish mash of various things I have been fiddling with lately. I did get my Base Camp blocks together for this fun fall table runner. I do think I need to add a narrow border of the background all around to make it look more finished. No problem, if I can […]
Oh dear. I seem to be suffering from another quilting-related injury. This has happened to me before, and I've been suffering with it for over a week. I am having trouble with that fat pad right under my right thumb. I think it is a soft tissue injury due to all the rotary cutting trimming […]
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 am happy to report that my Petit Four quilt is a finish. I won't lie, I sure did use my seam ripper a lot on this one. I must have sewn those Snail Trail blocks every possible orientation until I got them right. If you think I got any of them turned wrong, just […]
I'm making great progress on Petit Four. I had only three more Snail Trail blocks to make, so I dove in yesterday morning to make one before I went off to visit my sister in El Dorado. And guess what? I made it wrong. It is the Snail Trail block on the lower left. You […]
Another good day of sewing, I am happy to report. I decided to just get Star of Wonder done and send it off to the quilter since I had to go to the post office anyway. And it's off to Florida! I think it turned out darned cute. The project was pretty easy overall. The […]
Hello there. This would be Star of Wonder, block one. It didn't take long to make, which was good because I had a busy Monday. I got together with my family in the Bay Area on Sunday and spent the night at my sister Kate's. We had not gotten together in ages. I had not […]
