This is really coming along. It is Piecing the Past's "Comfort and Blessing" summer quilt along. The patterns are available for purchase on their website. I think I have been referring to this project as "Comfort and Joy" but that wasn't right. I must have Christmas in July on my brain. Anyway, sorry for any […]
Well, this is a mess. My sewing room has so many projects going on, it doesn't know what hit it. I have three block of the week projects in process, and enjoy seeing my completed blocks on display, so there you are. A big mess. Thank you all so much for your kind comments and […]
Greetings fellow shut-ins. Hope you all had a good weekend. We cleaned the house from top to bottom, spent a lot of time on the front porch, planted some summer annuals, and got in a wee bit of sewing. I tidied the sewing room as part of the cleaning effort, and somehow the project box […]
I had to take a break and go outside today. The weather still isn't very nice, but my pansies seem quite happy with the rain, grey skies and cool temperatures. I am longing for warmer days spent out on the porch. I see myself surrounded by hanging flower baskets, wearing my white jeans…Oh wait, they […]
Well, this would be a one block quilt that I started over a year ago, packed up into a project box and put away in the closet. As you see, I had made a bunch of blocks. I certainly had cut out a lot of strips. But where were the instructions? Was the block from […]
I did not set foot outside my house for the past three days, and got a lot of sewing done! My husband being glued to the tv watching various football games also helped my productivity level. What have I been working on? Well, a couple of things. My main sewing project is First Flake in […]
I think I will be hand sewing bindings on for the next little while. I was so provoked that I did not have enough of the dark green border fabric for the binding on the Corn and Beans quilt. It was a little kit, and you would think they would have included that fabric in […]
Oh boy. This quilt has been a process I tell you. I started it one, maybe two years ago and it has had me scratching my head from the get go. The instructions are fine. It is just me being super confused about the diagonal layout and frustrated by my choices of fabrics. It is […]
I am making a lot of flying geese. A lot. You see 140 of them in the photo above, and I have at least that many more to make. I absolutely love this setting, which makes the quilt as far as I am concerned. It ties all the different blocks together cohesively in a beautifully […]
I was running out of room on my design wall, so I decided to start sewing my Aurora stars together so I could fit more on the wall. I cannot tell you how much I am in love with this quilt. The stars are precious, and exactly the right size. It is completely worth the […]
