I must confess, yesterday was mostly spent doing errands and washing the bedding on my bed, but I did get a couple of sewing-related things done. The block above is Block 6 in the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery 2015 Block of the Month. I got stalled on this project because I did not care […]
Well, I don’t have ten things to show you today, but I did finish my Bliss Quilt top! That pieced border took longer than I thought, plus I had to piece a backing for the top. I have decided to use up the fabric I have sitting around, which is a lot, and found a […]
I have been so organized the past couple of days. I think my lackadaisical summer schedule is done for. Do you remember back in January of 2024 I posted on the Pomordoro technique? Go back and take a look at that post where I explain how it works. It is a time management method where […]
It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you focus and set aside a set amount of time to work on a project. I told Dennis to turn up the air conditioner upstairs because I wanted to work in my sewing room for an hour and a half yesterday afternoon. I set my little timer and […]
Just a quick post today to show that I wasn’t a complete lazy bones over the weekend. I got all caught up with my Riley Blake Challenge blocks, 1-11. These blocks have indeed been challenging and great fun to see come together. This is Block 11, Pinwheel Pop, designed by Amanda Niederhauser for Riley Blake. […]
Monday started out well. I had clean sheets on my bed and slept like a baby, my coffee was good in the morning, and I had a day that was wide open for whatever adventures I chose to embark upon. It turns out that my adventures consisted of sewing for a bit, taking the dog […]
This weekend was a mixed bag. You know the old expression “You win some, you lose some”? That definitely played a part in my life over the past few days. I will start with my wins. The house cleaners came on Friday and my house looks fabulous. I put away the Valentine’s decor and brought […]
This is my latest Bliss block, #8. I like it. I’ve always been a fan of that donut kind of shape in the center of a block. The half-square triangles feature a diagonal stripe fabric, prevalent in the Stitched fabric collection (by Fig Tree for Moda) I am using. It comes in every color in […]
For my Bliss quilting project, I needed 32 flying geese in an odd size: 1 3/4″ x 3″ unfinished. I have several Flying Geese trim tools that I love, the BlocLoc ones in particular, but didn’t have one in that size. My preferred method for making flying geese is the 4 at a time method, […]
I don’t have much to share today, just 44 flying geese. These particular geese are meant for the setting of the Bliss Quilt. I have 48 more to make for the border and a ton more for the center medallion. The ones for the center are for a very odd size. 1 3/4 x 3″. […]
