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, […]
I am still is production mode with these striped cushions. I warned you I'd be at it for a while. I have a few more to go, but the end is in sight. I am getting better and better at it. I can get one done in about 20 minutes at this point. And look […]
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 […]
A year or so ago the Fatquarter Shop did a Halloween Mystery Quilt sew-along they called Bats and Boos. The pattern is completely free on their website. I didn't get a chance to make it at the time the sew-along took place, but I have kept it in the back of my mind as a […]
When it is a known fact that one can sew, one often gets requests to make alterations or DIY home projects involving fabric. About 35 years ago, my husband and I bought a wrought iron patio set consisting of a loveseat, chair, and coffee table. We enjoyed it for years and I must have recovered […]
Woo hoo, a new project and it isn't a sew-along. These are the Apple Sauce quilt blocks I've made so far. I had so much BasicGrey fabric leftover from the Sampler Spree project that I decided to try to use it up by making a "companion" quilt to Sampler Spree. I love this pattern, but […]
I mentioned a couple of new projects that I had happened upon (or perhaps they happened upon me). One is a block of the month hosted by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. Corey's project is called "Sunny Patches", and that is pretty much how this fabric line feels to me. I am using a very […]
I have a couple of new projects to share with you this week. It recently came to my attention that a year-long sew-along started a couple of years ago called Etoiles Rouges. The block-of-the-week program offered 49 blocks, all Ohio Star variations. The program ended but was so popular, it has been offered again. For […]
You all are going to think I've lost my mind, but I have joined another sew-along. Moda Fabrics is hosting a sew-along called Midnight Moon, based on Carrie Nelson's book/sew-along "Summer Moon". I have always, always wanted to make that quilt, but never have. Mainly because the quilt calls for a tremendous amount of fabric […]
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 […]
