Several people have asked about the details regarding the Fig Tree pattern I shared the other day. It is called Thistles, and finishes at 75 x 75". It is fat quarter friendly, but I think you could absolutely make it from scraps. Don't you love that black flying geese lattice? I think it is stunning. […]
Archie loves his porch time, especially if we are all out there together. He isn't that impressed with my 4th of July decorations, but I have had fun putting things out for us to enjoy this year. That flag quilt on the rocker is a Minick and Simpson pattern I made called Liberty Road. I […]
Are you looking for an easy pattern for a colorful quilt? I love Cozy Cabin by Modernly Morgan. I think a bright colorful mix of prints would be amazing for this quilt. Such as the limited edition Lori Holt bundle I recently ordered from Fat Quarter Shop. However, if you go to Instagram and put […]
Blueberry Delight is back from the quilter and I love how it works on my January tablescape. I love to have some blue and white in my decor during the period after Christmas. I enjoy the crisp coolness of that palette after the hectic red and green of the holidays. This pattern is free from […]
Today I'd like to tell you about a new sew-along that Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet is doing. It is called Mercantile and features a new fabric line of Lori's as well as a gazillion of her products and notions. There will be two blocks a week, with tutorials on her blog site. […]
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 […]
I have a ton of BasicGrey fabric leftover from my Sampler Spree project and wanted a pattern that would use some more of it up. I have a pattern in mind, created by BasicGrey, called Apple Sauce.I think the block that is featured is really unusual and wanted to test it out before I launch […]
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 […]
A couple of you asked me about how I store my patterns in binders. It all started with the first Sewcialites Sew Along. Fat Quarter Shop offered a Sewcialites binder for storing all the printed free patterns for the project. I loved the idea and bought it. I've been storing recipes that I print off […]
We are making some changes in my father's domestic arrangements that we hope will make things more comfortable and accessible for him. We have set up a television in his bedroom for one thing. Along with a comfortable armchair. One of my sisters ordered a smaller "adjustable bed" for him. He can raise the head […]
