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 […]
It's been a minute since I have done in sewing, but after a few days without power, I thought I should be more grateful for my electricity and actually use it. I got up to the sewing room yesterday and brought out an unlabeled project that I started back in May. Five months ago. When […]
I've got a couple dozen of these blocks done so far, and am pleased with the ease at which they can be turned out. I have put my iron right next to my sewing machine so I can avoid getting up to the pressing station, which saves time and steps. I have been cutting out […]
I am so happy to share this Sweet Escape quilt with you all. It has been on my design wall for ages, just waiting for me to sew the rows together. It wasn't such a hard task after all, and it feels great to have it done. The Sweet Escape Sew Along was hosted by […]
I couldn't help myself. I just had to make week 2 and week 3 blocks for the Aunt Addie Mystery Sew Along. The blocks are fun, and I am enjoying my teal and brown fabrics from my stash. Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 I keep worrying that I won't like the quilt when the […]
