I am happy to say I have kept up with the Pumpkin Gatherings sew-along hosted by Lisa Bongean. A new block assignment has been released each week during July and August. Up until this latest block (shown above), the weekly tasks have been quite easy. This one was a challenge, I won't lie! These are […]
Clue 5 of the Pumpkin Spice Gatherings sew-along was an easy basic star block. How did I not notice that big black thread on the top block when I took the picture? I haven't had a chance to work on Clue 6 yet, but I will get to it sometime this week. I don't want […]
I wasn't going to do it. I waited until the last minute. In fact, I waited until all the BOM subscriptions were sold out. Then they released a few more, and I caved in and signed up. This is the Fat Quarter Shop's Designer Mystery Block of the Month for 2025. The featured fabric is […]
My departure from the Primitive Gatherings Pumpkin Gatherings Sew Along is to not go with the brown fabrics for the churn dash blocks. I have green fabrics from previous PG collections (Garden Gatherings, Yuletide Gatherings, Flower Garden Gatherings) and pulled them out of my stash. I didn't want to dip too much into the Pumpkin […]
I hope you all had a splendid weekend. I will tell you about mine and then share the best thing about it: Salad with Grilled Tuna. It was 100 degrees where I live on Friday. And Saturday and Sunday. Our air conditioning system failed Thursday, and we had to have it replaced. We spent scads […]
There is a new sew-along starting up, hosted by Primitive Gatherings. Each week for only eight weeks, clues will be published by Lisa Bongean and her team at Primitive Gatherings. This sew-along features her new fabric collection, Pumpkin Spice Gatherings. Not all the colors will be used in this mystery sew-along; we will leave out […]
Ok, this was a pretty straightforward block. Four little Bow Ties for the Strawberry Garden quilt. I'd forgotten what a quick and easy block this is. I once made a Bow Tie quilt out of Civil War reproduction scraps and enjoyed the experience. It was also a good feeling to use up so many of […]
I haven't been so excited about a sewing project in some time! Well, that's a lie, I am excited about all the sewing projects, but this one is special. Can you believe it? I got TWO quilts out of Moda BlockHeads 3! In my opinion, that sew-along went way too long, an entire year, which […]
So, here's a good thing. I have kept up with the Cali & Co sew-along, hosted by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. The blocks are all composed of squares and half-square triangles. They are easy, colorful, and fun. What else do you need for a summer sew-along? Just look at how cheerful those blocks are […]
Have you ever participated in one of the Moda BlockHeads Sew-Alongs? They are typically great fun. What is it? It is a sew-along hosted by Moda Fabrics that provides a free quilt block each week, which is created by one of Moda's talented fabric designers. Lisa Bonjean, Lissa Alexander, Joanna Figueroa, Lynn Hagmeier, and Brenda […]
