I am up to my eyeballs in geese. Flying Geese that is. I have eight more to make and I will be finished with construction, but as you see, my little pile needs to be trimmed. Ha! I am tempted to take them to work with me today, along with my tiny cutting mat and […]
For those of you who couldn't see my post from yesterday or leave comments, it was due to a major Typepad issue. Again. They were down all day long. Ever since they were hacked last month it has been one thing after another. I had better type this and get it posted before it goes […]
Despite an attack of Spring Fever, which is causing me to want to sit on the porch sipping iced tea all day long, I have gotten a bit of work done on my pear blocks. If you recall, I had stacks of little bitty squares and rectangles labled from A to M that were to […]
The sewing room is pretty much of a disaster right now because I am experimenting with the Kaleidoscope blocks. I have sure made a number of blocks wrong! I keep trimming off the corners that I am supposed to attach the corner squares to. I want my 12 piece blocks with the corner squares to […]
I've been happy as can be working away on my happy blocks. Debbie suggested that I rename the quilt "Maison Joyeuse", which I thought was an excellent idea. Several of you have inquired as to the size of the blocks, and they are a perfect 8 1/2 inches. Love that size block. I want […]
Hey there. Hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good, with great springtime weather, some family time, and some sewing thrown in for good measure. I got the center section of Victory Stars all sewn together, and am going to set that project aside for a bit. I will be adding a […]
Mom's taking a little break, but will resume soon. The death of my cousin has hit all of us quite hard. Still, we wanted to have a little content for you. If you are long time followers of my mother's blog then you might be familiar with me. Four years ago, my then husband […]
My project du jour is Victory Stars, a pattern and kit designed by Paula Barnes for Red Crinoline Quilts. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of making the center blocks, done in shades of navy and a golden tan background color. The blocks each have a center square in a contrasting color, which I think […]
I didn't finish my Half Square Triangle Exercise quilt top by my self-imposed deadline, but I am nearly there. I have one more block to make! I need to make this quilt as large as possible, so I am going with a diagonal set and alternate plain blocks. I can see I will be doing […]
Woo hoo, I finally snagged an afternoon where I could spend a few hours sewing, and I was able to make a few more of my half square triangle blocks. I have been having so much fun with this project, inspired by Thelma and Carrie's Christmas Vacation Sew Along, where they made quilts using half […]
