Hope those of you in the US had a Happy 4th of July! I can't believe the year is half over. Do check out the Reeding Between the Lines YouTube video or podcast for Sara and me doing our mid-year book check-in. It was a fun episode. Slowly but surely, my design wall is filling […]
I am still working on taking apart my setting for Moda BlockHeads 3. These are all the 8-inch blocks. I decided to make several quilts out of the 80-some odd blocks I made for that quilt-along. I really cannot believe I made over 80 blocks in four different sizes and thought I could put them […]
These cheerful blocks are part of the Riley Blake Designs 2025 Challenge. They release a new block pattern each week, and I am using some of them. The other blocks are from the Riley Blake archives of past Challenges. It is a great resource for 10 1/2" block patterns. I am not really following along […]
Meet Miss July, the next block in the Calendar Quilt. Yippee, I am more than halfway through the year! This block is one of Lori Holt's from her first Farm Girl Vintage book. It is called "Old Glory". If you are new here, this quilt I am making was inspired by Sherri McConnell's (of A […]
I swear each block I make for this calendar quilt is cuter than the last one. I don't remember when I have had so much fun making quilt blocks. The block above is for May, "May Flowers". The tulips block pattern is from one of the Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage books. Next we have, […]
Imagine my surprise and glee when I discovered I had a stash of American Jane fabric that I could add to my Frivol #8, "Brio"! Actually, I needed a bit more fabric because I was a bit short after starching the fabric that came with the kit. I started this quilt pattern "Houses" a few […]
This has been a great week as far as sewing goes. I managed to get in some sewing time just about every day. The blocks above are the first two granny square blocks for my sister Andrea's neutral table runner. I love how it's coming together. I'll have to confer with her about the length. […]
This sweet little block is #4 in the Christmas at Granny's sew-along. It did have a lot of fussy tiny pieces. I ended up making that star section twice because the first one came out wonky. I have a fantastic update regarding my husband's recovery! Yesterday he was able to stand up from sitting in […]
How cute is this little stocking? This is block 3 in the Christmas at Granny's quilt-along. This block didn't give me too many issues, as the piecing of the stocking was pretty simple. The next block features an ornament with a teensy little star in the center, which I expect will be more challenging. Next, […]
My sewing was a bit hit or miss this past weekend, but I did get the borders on Base Camp. I think this is a fun quick project for a fall table runner. The pattern is called Base Camp and is by Sweetwater. The pattern is for a quilt, but I adapted it for the […]
