I was playing around in the sewing room on Saturday, and decided to add another appliqué block to my Moda Blockheads collection. For the setting I am thinking of, I may need some extra blocks. I have been having so much fun with the appliqué blocks, I thought one more might be just the thing. […]
I spent my days off this week trying to get caught up with my Moda BlockHeads sew along blocks. I am still short two blocks, but with any luck will crank them out this weekend. These blocks are all so different. I am having a hard time envisioning them in a setting that makes sense. […]
You all know that I have been enjoying the 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along. This sew along is hosted by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings and features a couple of blocks each week that are each made up of 16 half square triangles arranged in various ways to create different looking blocks. I had actually made […]
This is my version of the latest installment in the Moda BlockHeads Sew Along. Week 10, and Jan Patek is up again with an appliqué block. Her previous offering was a beehive appliqué, which was pretty cute. I made alterations to my version of the beehive block as well, to make it more symmetrical, which is […]
I don't have a lot to show for my time this week. Lots of reading and fooling around on the internet, but not a heck of a lot of sewing. The blocks above are Block 33 and 34 of the 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along. I particularly like the block on the right, with its […]
I am having a ridiculous amount of fun with the sew alongs in which I have been participating. The block above is week number eight of the ModaBlockHeads Sew Along. This sew along has actually challenged me, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have been "forced" to do a bit of machine appliqué, which it […]
I have mixed feelings about the Moda BlockHeads block #7. I love the end look of the block, but I did not care for the construction method. I actually ended up remaking the block. Lynn Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles is promoting a "layered piecing" technique for her blocks, and I find it to be not […]
Last Wednesday's Moda BlockHeads block was a super cute design by Carrie Nelson. It even had a bit of appliqué, so I am happy that I am on board with that. It's a little sunflower. Adorable addition to the other blocks. I got all caught up with my 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along, finishing blocks 27, […]
This is Jan Patek's block number 4 for the Moda BlockHeads Sew Along. I had decided I didn't want to do it because it is appliqué, and made an alternate pieced block instead. You all know I have been playing around with a new machine appliqué project on my Bernina 740. After making some stars […]
It was Lisa Bongean's turn to design a block for the Moda BlockHeads Sew Along. She loves her teensy pieces, that girl does. She has an excellent tutorial on her blog, with tons of photos, demonstrating her method for making the block, every step of the way, including pressing photos. She gets very precise results, […]
