Category: Sew Along
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 […]
I can't quite believe it, but I have finished all the blocks for the Christmas Among the Stars Again quilt!! It is a quilt-along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop and has been going on for 8 months. My Month 8 package of fabric is in the mail and will contain what I need for the […]
Yesterday Moda Blockheads 4 released their 6th block in the sew-along. This one is called Spinning Into Spring designed by Linzee McCray. It is the yellow and grey block on the left. A darker less busy grey print would show up the "spin" factor better, but I kind of like the subtle colors. Last week's […]
