I’m all caught up with the A Quilting Life Sew Along for 2026. The blocks above are January through June. Look at me, right on schedule. The BOM is hosted by Sherri McConnell (one of the nicest people ever), who offers a new completely free BOM each year. This year the blocks all have a […]
It may not have been the most productive weekend, but it was adequately productive, if you know what I mean. I have a lot of projects to work on, but for now I think I am going to *try* to focus on one primary project. The photo above is my six weeks of progress on […]
Something happened yesterday that caused me to revisit the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery 2025 project. I had made two blocks in the sew-along and ran out of steam and interest when I realized that I did not care for the setting at all. Those sew-alongs are expensive, although they are a good value fabric-wise. […]
I only finished two more of the 4th of July at Granny’s blocks, but that’s ok. I need to be easier on myself. I got my nails done, shopped for the makings of Italian Sausage/Mushroom Soup, and read my book. All in all, it’s been a great day. Oh, I also walked with my friend […]
Hi friends. Hope you are having a good start to your week. This was a three-day weekend for us in the US. Memorial Day. I always find it strange when I hear people say “Happy Memorial Day”. Um, well, it isn’t really a happy holiday, as we are memorializing those who lost their lives in […]
I did some productive sewing over the weekend. I completed the four remaining blocks for Week 4 of the 4th of July at Granny’s sew-along, hosted by Heather Briggs. These blocks are the same as the two blue plaid ones I made first. However, the red fabric was a lot less of a hassle to […]
This is my revised second block for the Strawberry 2026 sew-along. I’ve been dragging my heels on this sew-along and let me explain why. Do you ever start a project and feel that it “just isn’t you”? I love My Sew Quilty Life Heather Briggs’ designs, both her fabrics and her sew-along projects. However, I […]
I put my nose to the grindstone this weekend and finished up Week 2 of the 4th of July at Granny’s sew along. Just in time for the release of Week 3’s blocks today! These blocks are a cinch: I’ll get them done! Here are all my blocks so far. I believe I need to […]
I got a bit of sewing done over the weekend. My goal was to get caught up on a couple of BOMs I am doing. The blocks above are for the Riley Blake Challenge 2026, a reliably fun sew-along. This one is a block of the week project, with block designs being provided for free […]
I tackled the remaining four blocks for week one in the 4th of July at Granny’s sew-along and they all came out just great. I think I could see things a bit better yesterday, as a matter of fact! Things were still blurry, but a bit more in focus. I got through making the sixteen […]
