Category: Quilts in Progress
I haven’t done too much sewing this week because I’ve had to travel to the Bay Area for my eye injections and was gone for a couple of days. This weekend looks busy as well because we will be having a house guest. I probably won’t post Friday either due to my schedule. Eva is […]
Over the weekend, I made a few more pumpkin log cabin blocks. Are these not the cutest things you’ve ever seen? I have 12 blocks made and think I will make 4 more for a total of 16 blocks. I will do a lattice in between the blocks, with cornerstones. This quilt should finish at […]
I am absolutely delighted with how splendidly these blocks are turning out! I plan to make sixteen of them, and know I will finish these in no time. This Creative Grids 12″ Log Cabin Trim Tool has made the biggest difference in the speed and execution of these blocks! You won’t believe how fast they […]
I got another Christmas at Granny’s block done. It is the little candy cane one on the lower right. These blocks are fun, but they have a lot of pieces, and many of them are practically microscopic. The block ends up at 14 1/2″ unfinished, but those little center motifs are itty bitty. I had […]
These blocks are from the Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery Block of the Month series for 2025. I really must stop subscribing to these sew-alongs. I certainly have enjoyed some of them in the past, but the whole “mystery” aspect is starting to put me off. The patterns are without fail always good, and the […]
I didn’t sew much over the weekend (are you tired of hearing me say that?), but I did finish the third and fourth blocks for the Poinsettia Stars project. This is a pattern booklet written by Sherri McConnell featuring her Christmas fabric collection, Poinsettia and Pear. I made Blocks C and D, and to catch […]
No sewing happened yesterday, but I spent quite a bit of time prepping the units for the third and fourth blocks in the Poinsettia and Pear Christmas quilt. This pattern is by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. The pattern instructions are very good, but Sherri has a YouTube channel where she gives tips for […]
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 […]
