I am almost through Week 6 of the Little Blocks 365 challenge. This Friday the blocks for Week 10 will come out, so clearly I have some catching up to do. At this point, I think I have made 39 or 40 blocks. Maybe less. I had some issues with a couple of them… I […]
This is the first block in another sew-along hosted by Gay Bomers at Sentimental Stitches. This one is called Heartfelt and is a block of the week program. The cost is $30, and since the program lasts for 30 weeks, it breaks down to $1 per block/week, which seems like a great deal when you […]
How cute is this block? It is the 18th block in the Sewcialites Sew Along hosted by Fatquartershop. This one was designed by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. I had no issues with this block, even though it was classified as for an "experienced" sewer. Well, I guess I am, but mainly it was trouble-free […]
Woo hoo! My first seven blocks are finished! I tell you I am having so much fun making these blocks, I do not want to stop. I kept stealing upstairs to play with fabric or stitch for a bit yesterday. Eva must have thought I had some sort of digestive upset. I kept saying "I'll […]
All I can say is THIS IS REALLY FUN! Oh sorry, I was shouting. But seriously, this Little Blocks 365 is a blast. I was pretty busy with homeschooling yesterday but managed to squeeze in the time to make the first two blocks. I was in no hurry and completely took my time. I probably […]
One of the things I'd like to get better at in 2021 is paper piecing. Recently while scrolling through Instagram, I came across some people who are participating in a paper piecing sew along hosted by Sentimental Stitches. This sew-along is called Little Blocks 365. These creative people shared photos of their blocks and I […]
We find ourselves coming up on week 17 of the Sewcialites Sew Along hosted by Fatquarter Shop and Kimberly Jolly. These are the two most recent blocks I have made, week 15 "Genuine", designed by Lori Holt, and week 16 "Friendship", designed by Carrie Nelson. I tell you, that block 16 had me reaching for […]
I have made 15 Sewcialites blocks since I switched fabrics/colors a month or two ago. I do like this combination of reds, blacks, and tans. I have to say that I am really enjoying the sew along and also the Friday YouTube videos Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop puts out each week. They are […]
Isn't this stack of fabrics luscious? It is Apricot and Ash by Corey Yoder, a Moda designer. There is a sew-along coming up called Serendipity that I want to do. Click here for fabric requirements. It is a row quilt, you know, the kind where you make multiples of some blocks and arrange them in […]
I had a talk with myself over the weekend and had to admit that I was not loving my Sewcialites Sew-Along quilt blocks. I was using fabric that just wasn't floating my boat. I think I'd like the Betsy Chutchian fabrics I had chosen in smaller bits, but not in the big 9" blocks I […]
