Mini Donuts table runner is finally bound and on my dining table while it is still officially summer! This Mini Donuts pattern is one by The Pattern Basket. The pattern is for a bigger quilt, but I just made a table runner with the blocks. It was fun to make with various Lori Holt fabric […]
I am so excited to have finished this little table runner. I'd give the pattern a grade of C-, but with the help of my internet friend Carol, I zipped through it with no frustration. Her time-saving tips were priceless. This is going to be so darn cute on my dining table. I did shorten […]
I finished those darn ears of corn blocks and have moved on to the star blocks, which will go much more quickly. I don't think I am going to make this runner as long as the pattern directs. It will be more useful to me if it is a couple of block shorter. I've been […]
I had the most delightful weekend. No deadlines, just lots of free time to spend just how I wanted. I had the nicest email chat with Carol of One Stitch at a Time blog. She had made this Let's Pop Some Corn runner a while ago and had some great tips for me. Check it […]
Hey there, remember this adorable table runner kit from Riley Blake? It is called Let's Pop Some Corn and was designed by Sandy Gervais. The kit features one of her fabric lines called Awesome Autumn. I have loved Sandy's fabric collections for years and nothing puts me in a late summer, early fall mood better […]
I just love working on a seasonal project in keeping with whatever season I am in. I started this Fatquartershop free sew-along a week or so ago and am nearly finished with it. It is called Bats and Boos. All the free patterns are on the FQS website. I just need to make the center […]
It seems as if there are an awful lot of food references in quilting, don't you agree? The whole layer cake, honey bun, jelly roll thing, and so many patterns and fabric collections have food names. I wonder why we are so food-obsessed? At any rate, I finished my 8 Courthouse Steps paper pieced blocks […]
Since my Blueberry Delight fabric arrived, I wasted no time in starching it and assembling my paper piecing supplies. I am very gung ho to get started on this Petit Four project. Supplies: What you need is a glue stick of some kind (I am using a Sewline glue stick, but a kid's school glue […]
I am really having a ball this week with plenty of free time on my hands. I put away the St. Patrick's decorations and realized that many of my older table toppers are looking shabby and not up to "snuff" anymore. That made me think I should eliminate them and make room for newer seasonal […]
I have needed a new mat for my laptop computer for the longest time. I've made do with doilies or old table mats, but I got the notion to make myself something cute this weekend. I've been watching some of Lori Holt's YouTube videos on scrap busting and that led to me browsing through a […]
