I hope you all had a nice, long weekend, which we did here in the US. It was Martin Luther King Day on Monday, and I celebrated by having coffee with a friend, then spending the afternoon in my sewing room playing around. I am so happy to have something different on my small design […]
Debbie guessed the new sew-along from my post yesterday. The block with the gazillion pieces is the first one in Heather Briggs’ The Year of Strawberries 2026 sew-along. It turned out so darn cute, but wow, that was a heck of a lot of pieces and seam matching. I was hopping up and down from […]
Archie may not be quite ready to forgive us for not taking him to Lake Tahoe with us. He had a great time with our house/pet sitter, but from the look of him with his dagger, he may be harboring some hard feelings about being left behind. Our sitter reported that he was a good […]
This quilt is a kit that I bought online a while ago. You can still find the kits, and they are priced right at just over $100. It is called Spooks and Spells, designed by Stacy Iest Hsu, using her fabric line Home Sweet Haunt. The quilt makes use of an adorable panel, which I […]
I had a lovely bundle of Autumn fabric by Lori Holt on the shelf and it has been calling to me. I wanted to make another mini quilt for late summer/early fall, and those colors are just perfect. I am not sure where I got the notion, but I thought I might make a small […]
I've got my fabric all lined up for the BlockHeads 6 project, which will start later this month. It is Pumpkin Spice Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings. It combines the reproduction style I love, as well as the brighter colors I've been craving lately. There are loads of background prints, which I think add interest. The […]
I swear each block I make for this calendar quilt is cuter than the last one. I don't remember when I have had so much fun making quilt blocks. The block above is for May, "May Flowers". The tulips block pattern is from one of the Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage books. Next we have, […]
Imagine my surprise and glee when I discovered I had a stash of American Jane fabric that I could add to my Frivol #8, "Brio"! Actually, I needed a bit more fabric because I was a bit short after starching the fabric that came with the kit. I started this quilt pattern "Houses" a few […]
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 […]
These are the two latest bags I finished and I am pretty pleased with both. I find that I prefer the boxy style and have mastered getting the corners to turn out properly. By "properly", I mean the same. The first ones I made were a little wonky. Both pouch sizes are handy. The smaller […]
