I just received a new pattern from Corey Yoder’s Coriander Quilts. It is called Droplets and can be made with a fat eighth bundle! You know you have one sitting on your shelf. This would be so cute in a gazillion different fabric collections. I can just imagine it in a bright and cheery color […]
I’ve been so bad about sewing so far this summer that I decided I have to actually schedule the time to do it! So, I have been trying to get in a couple of hours or more every morning before it gets too hot upstairs. We have air conditioning, but Dennis keeps his eye on […]
I got tired of wasting time and got back up into my sewing room and finished all the blocks for the 4th at Granny’s sew-along! I am pleased with how the quilt turned out, although, in real life, the center red center star is more pronounced. I don’t know why it looks so dark in […]
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 […]
