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 […]
Today's post is a mish mash of various things I have been fiddling with lately. I did get my Base Camp blocks together for this fun fall table runner. I do think I need to add a narrow border of the background all around to make it look more finished. No problem, if I can […]
I've been having fun this week making these easy house and tree blocks. This project is enjoyable and fast and I can't wait to get the blocks together for a seasonal table runner for late summer and early fall. I have a hall table that will be the perfect spot for this directional runner. The […]
Thanks for all your suggestions on what I should do with my Piece and Quilt blocks. I am pretty discouraged with that project and do not feel the excitement and joy I did when I started it. I have decided to put it away for now. I will do something with some of those blocks […]
AFTER I didn't do a lot of sewing over the weekend. I was reading some really engrossing books and found that all I wanted to do was sit outside on the back porch and read. I can't wait to tell you about them! Last Friday, I returned to the Piece and Quilt project, because I […]
