The New Year has gotten off to a great start for me. My goal is to tackle my large number of UFOs and either finish them or let them go. It's probably not surprising that I was drawn right back into the Lori Holt Red Sampler quilt. I had completed only six weeks of the […]
I took this picture of Ozzie, thinking he looked like a sleeping rabbit, with his ears sticking up. Poor fellow, he had been to the dog groomer, and it took all the starch out of him. He has lost his hearing in the past year or so, and it makes me wonder if he perks […]
I set a goal to finish the last row of the Serendipity Sew Along Quilt this week and I did it! I still have to sew the rows together and attach the borders, but that is a goal for another week. I really love the colors in this quilt and know I will enjoy putting […]
All my block units are finished and ready to sew into blocks. Row Seven of the Serendipity Sew Along is nearly a done deal. With luck, I will finish the six blocks today. In other news, this is my tree in the backyard that I share every year. The leaves start to change color and […]

You can get the patterns if you go to fatquartershop.com and search for "Serendipity Quilt Along". My fabrics are Apricot and Ash by Cory Yoder of Coriander Quilts. In case you were wondering, […]
I had some free time come up unexpectedly last week and did some early morning sewing before it got too warm to be upstairs. In the photo above you can see I added some variety to my light blue fabric blocks. I got brave and added in some orange for a bit of visual interest. […]
I haven't been doing much sewing for a couple of reasons. One, it has been super duper hot where I live. It seems as if it gets up over 100 every day lately. My sewing room is upstairs and we have been trying to conserve energy by not using the air conditioner up there. I've […]
It has been like pulling teeth, but I managed to finish the Week Six Red Sampler blocks. Aren't the two six-inch blocks adorable? I especially low the one that looks like 4 Xs. I had fun making both the smaller blocks on Sunday afternoon when I got home from my dad's. Here's a closer look […]
Oooeee, this block was trickier than I first thought. I love the look of the half-square rectangle units. You hardly ever see those in quilt blocks. The challenge of course was to get all the points to line up. I think it is a cool block. It is from Susan Ache's book "Sampler Spree". It […]
I had some time last week to catch up on the Serendipity Sew Along. You may notice that I didn't play by the rules and substituted different blocks for two of the rows. What on earth gets into me sometimes?… There is just one last row of blocks to make for this quilt. My motivation […]
