Category: Sew Along
I decided to forge ahead with my Flea Market quilt. There isn't much point in waiting for the next step in the sew-along, since not much is being posted about it. I have completed my basket blocks for April and May. I suppose I will keep going with them and perhaps wrap up this project […]
These are my Week 3 blocks for the Midnight Moon sew-along. They are called Hidden Star, made with Fat Quarter Shop's 3" Square in a Square foundation papers, and Pinwheel Geese made with my BlocLoc trim tool. For some reason, I could not find my 1 x 2" Flying Geese ruler and thought I had […]
You all are going to think I've lost my mind, but I have joined another sew-along. Moda Fabrics is hosting a sew-along called Midnight Moon, based on Carrie Nelson's book/sew-along "Summer Moon". I have always, always wanted to make that quilt, but never have. Mainly because the quilt calls for a tremendous amount of fabric […]
Flea Market, the quilt-along that isn't. There don't seem to be too many of us working on this quilt-along, but I am almost caught up for April. I finished my center medallion and have finished two out of three basket blocks. The sponsors have kind of dropped the ball on this project, but there are […]
The first Moda Blockheads 4 block was a winner! Lynne Hagemeier of Kansas Troubles designed this 9" block. I made it up using Fig Tree & Company's Pumpkin Blossoms fabrics, which are going to be great for this project. This collection has a high number of background fabrics with small and subtle color additions that […]
Month 5 of the Christmas Among the Stars Again sew-along. I did finish that second block, and I also got my fabric starched for the Moda BlockHeads 4 sew-along, which is starting today. Since it is a smaller project and the sew-along only lasts 6 months, I think I will see how it goes. One […]
Sew for an hour a day. Well, it's a great idea, and I am trying. The weekends are tricky because I care for my father. Sewing just isn't in the cards. That being said, whatever time I spend working on something is worth it in the end, even if it's just a few hours each […]
All the little Churn Dash blocks for the Flea Market quilt along are finished. I can now start on the next round, which is made up of basket blocks. I do love a basket block. These will go a bit slower I imagine. I think just three are assigned in a month. I have to […]
I've been feeling like I might be the only person sewing in this sew-along! I saw the announcement about it on the Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Jabber blog back on Dec. 7, 2021. At that time they also released the sewing schedule in their image above. If you look closely you can see the month […]
Sewcialites is finally off the design wall! Woo hoo! All the rows are sewn together and the borders attached. I have to say, those blocks all came together pretty perfectly. No fudging was required when sewing them together, which is unusual. I credit careful cutting, a strict 1/4" seam allowance, pressing seams open, and starching […]
