Category: New Projects
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 […]
I snagged an hour yesterday and scooted up to the sewing room and got my fabric cut out for the Buffalo Check Halloween Table Topper by Carried Away. Easy to follow instructions and I had a sense of accomplishment that I even achieved that much! I completed the first four checkerboard rows. The difference in […]
Just look at this adorable table topper by Carried Away. It is two patterns in one, and I want to make both of them. The first one I plan to tackle is the Halloween/Pumpkin version. I have all the fabrics on hand, which are mostly scrap-sized. When I bought the pattern, I noticed that the […]
I worked on the Spring Broom Mini Charity Quilt yesterday. I only got four yellow flowers done, but that's ok. The picture above is from Coriander Quilts website. It is a free pattern you can print out here. My fabric choices will be similar, but I have a grey solid and a green solid that […]
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 […]
