It may not be 296 days of self-isolation, but it sure feels like it. I had a live video phone call with one of my sisters yesterday and I was embarrassed to have dirty hair, no makeup and sweats on. She looked much better than I did, I assure you. It was nice to at […]
Well, that was intense! 100 blocks in fifteen days. Whew. I got it done though, and am glad I can sew the blocks together and call this a finish. I did end up changing out some of the fabrics in the last blocks. As we got closer to the center of the quilt, the colors […]
This is a big announcement for me. So often kind people who are interested in reading my blog ask me how they can follow me and receive notifications when I post. Duh. I am not very tech-savvy, and I have never known how to make that happen. "I don't know, just check-in every weekday?" is […]
This post is going to be full of information. I will provide lots of links to a plethora of fantastic sew alongs that you could stitch happily along with while you are "sheltering in place". If we are all stuck at home, we could at least have something to show for it at the end, […]
These are the five days of blocks I have made for the Laundry Basket Mystery Sew Along. 36 blocks in five days. This sew along is intense, I tell you. Honestly, I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with eight new blocks a day. And that is ok. I am […]
Edyta of Laundry Basket Quilts is doing a really fun mystery sew along. I am usually leary of mystery quilts, but decided to give this one a go. I am really pleased with the blocks so far, and what I especially like is that she shows you the block layout with each addition. Now, this […]
2020 is turning into The Year of the Sew Along for me. In our current lockdown situation, so many designers, quilt shops, and groups are hosting the most fun sew alongs. If we are stuck in the house, surrounded by our fabric stashes, why not make the most of it! I have an all-time high […]
Oh gosh, I am almost finished with my Moda BlockHeads 1 sew-along quilt and I am sorry to see it come to an end. As you see, I have completed the central appliqued block and have about two-thirds of the rows sewn together with lattices. I am thinking the quilt needs a border, and am […]
It is a long weekend here in the US, which means that I get extra time to play in the sewing room. I made another 12 inch block for the current Moda BlockHeads sew along. This block is Barrister's Puzzle. I don't have that many 12 inch blocks to make for the layout I am […]
I am so darned excited about this sew along, only two weeks into it. I like the block designs that have been posted, but I especially love my fabric choice. I have cracked into my fat eighth bundle of 3 Sisters Holly Berry collection, but I have other coordinating collections on hand that I can […]
