Category: Quilts in Progress
My Christmas shopping is just about complete, so I found time to get up to the sewing room to work on the Winter Village project. It would be nice to finish all the blocks before the holidays. The layout is pretty simple, so, with any luck (and no procrastination), I could even get the whole […]
Winter Village now has a housing development! I managed to put my books down and get up into the sewing room and make the first five houses for my quilt top. They were so easy to do, I am ashamed that I can’t seem to spend more time sewing lately. I have been so busy […]
I am happy to say that I have moved on to a new Halloween UFO project! I pulled out my Fig Tree monthly sew-along that I’ve been working on for at least two years. This one is called Halloween Figs. Some of the blocks do involve applique and as you see, I have my units […]
I’ve been working on assembling the Pumpkin Spice quilt. This was a sew-along hosted by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. The sew-along was a quick one, lasting eight weeks this summer. Every week, we had an assignment to make a certain number of blocks that we would later assemble into the whole quilt top. You […]
Remember these fabulous blocks from last year? The fabric is Hey Boo by Lella Boutique and the pattern is Moonlight from the Halloween Memories book by Susan Ache. I was working on it last summer when Dennis got ill and my world unraveled. I was super organized with the block preparation, so it didn't take […]
After all the sewing I did over the weekend, my other responsibilities are catching up with me. This week doesn't look as if it will be as productive. I did work on the patchwork border for the Strawberry Garden quilt. All the units are made. I need to connect them and attach them to the […]
Remember this? It is the Riley Blake Design Challenge 2025, the sew-along I was not going to participate in. That being declared, I did make most of the blocks. I went at my own pace, and substituted a block here and there when I didn't care for the monthly offering. The Riley Blake Designer challenges […]
I thought I share an update on the projects I am currently focusing on. It is true that I love working on multiple things at one time, which can be overwhelming. I do enjoy the variety, and I definitely never get bored. I am concentrating on a couple of newish projects, but also finishing up […]
I gave up early on with last year's Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery project because I didn't care for the setting. As the sew-along went on, I found that I also wasn't crazy about a number of the blocks. I put the fabric and patterns away, thinking at some point I would drag it all […]
The end is in sight for the Strawberry Garden quilt. And I am not going to lie, I will be so glad to get this one done. This has to be one of the most labor-intensive quilts I have ever made. Have any of you made this? Did you think so too? My gosh, what […]
