Category: Sew Along
This week I am focusing on putting a quilt top together. This quilt is "Peace and Healing" by Piecing the Past Quilts. The sew-along started this spring and each week I received the patterns for three or four blocks. The patterns were free at the time, but you can purchase all of them now for […]
Yesterday I did get caught up in the Midnight Moon sew-along. I knew I had weeks 10 and 11 to do, but discovered I had somehow skipped week 7, All good now, all done. That star block in the middle of the upper row? I did that three times. I just could not get the […]
When you have multiple sew-alongs going on, it is easy to fall behind. And that is what is happening to me at the moment. Not too badly, but enough so that I plan to spend today catching up on several of the sew-alongs I am participating in. First up is Midnight Moon, a sew-along based […]
I picked up this recently published book, Rollin' Along by Moda Bake Shop that features quilts made from Jelly Rolls. Then I found out Moda Bake Shop is going to do a sew-along for one of the quilts in the book. The quilt is called Family Reunion and showcases one of my favorite blocks, the […]
Summer has arrived and that means some sewing, some reading, and some Eva time. This is a block for the Peace and Healing BOW I have been working on. Love this block. Eva is really into making smoothies these days. And they are a delightful treat on a warm afternoon. This one was strawberries, bananas, […]
I have to say the blocks for the Piecing the Past "Peace and Healing" sew along are getting more interesting. And more complicated! I was worried at first at how simple some of the blocks were, but things are picking up nicely in terms of difficulty. I've made 17 blocks so far and have a […]
Peace and Healing is the name of a free sew-along, not my present state of mind. Although, who couldn't use a little peace and healing most days? Piecing the Past Quilts almost always has one or more free sew-alongs going on. I have done a few of them and really enjoyed them. Since they are […]
These are the latest two blocks in the Moda Block Heads 4 sew along. Both were designed by Lisa Bongean. The block on the left was supposed to have a nine patch center. I made it originally for the block on the right, but decided it was too much navy for one block. So I […]
The school year is winding down with a bang rather than a whimper. Eva was in a school play over the weekend, which was jolly good fun. "The Enchanted Bookshop". She had two roles, Little Red Riding Hood and The Lady in Red. You can see her singing her little heart out on the right […]
These are the two latest blocks in the Midnight Moon Quilt Along. Bear's Tracks on the left and Buzzard's Roost on the right. Patterns are from the Summer Moon book by Carrie Nelson. An excellent book with over 30 quilt block patterns in three sizes. A great reference tool even if you aren't making the […]
