I managed to get up into the sewing room and sew one block in the Cali & Co sew along Corey Yoder is hosting. This is block 10. I also need to make block 9, but 10 looked easier, so I made that one first. I’m super overwhelmed right now with “stuff”, so I took […]
This Pumpkin Spice Gatherings quilt top is a monster. I have it spread out in two rooms while I am sewing the rows together. I organized the 15 rows into 5 sections of three rows each. I started at the top, as one does, and am working my way down. What you see in the […]
I admit, I have allowed myself to be distracted by some new and shiny projects: Pumpkin Spice Gatherings and Autumn Nights to name two. Cali & Co has fallen by the wayside and I am two months behind. I made up for lost time yesterday and whipped together Block 8 in the Cali & Co […]
The first blocks in the Fat Quarter Shop Autumn Nights sew-along are these Wonky Stars. Fast and easy, and quite forgiving, since there is plenty of room for the points. I am a bit behind with this project due to losing a couple of weeks in my Great Blog Migration drama. I picked up my […]
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 […]
