In my last post I proudly showed you my present block, which was block #2 in the Christmas at Granny's sew along. Oops. I totally cut it out wrong. How come nobody told me? No worries, there is more fabric where that came from. I remade the block and cut it properly this time, on […]
I am happy to say I was able to do a bit of sewing over the weekend. I started the Christmas at Granny's Quilt Along hosted by My Sew Quilty Life, and really like the first block. My fabrics are mostly reds and greens and backgrounds from Lori Holt's Hometown Holiday collection. There is a […]
I've been a bit distracted lately, so I missed the start-up information on this fun holiday sew-along that Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life is doing. You can read all about it on Heather's blog. The basic block is a traditional Granny block, with an adorable center-pieced unit that has a Christmas theme. As […]
I thought it was time to get back to my August Piece and Quilt blocks while it is still August. I am quite happy with these two blocks. The red one is Maple Leaf and the blue and grey one is Texas Puzzle. I've laid the blocks out as they will be positioned in the […]
Well, I don't know what I was thinking. I have a lot of works in progress and UFOs at the moment, so starting in on a complicated new project doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I even had to purchase a bunch of fabric for this one, which is even more impulsive. But, here […]
My next Finish It project is the Designer Mystery 2023 block of the month sew-along. At first, I wasn't sure I loved the dark blue background in the setting, but I have to admit, now I think it is pretty spectacular. The setting really sets off those blocks and is so different from what you […]
I am so excited to have finished this little table runner. I'd give the pattern a grade of C-, but with the help of my internet friend Carol, I zipped through it with no frustration. Her time-saving tips were priceless. This is going to be so darn cute on my dining table. I did shorten […]
Our final block for the Summer in the Country sew-along is Farmhouse Star, designed by Susan Vaughan. What a beautiful block to conclude our sewing together! The block may look complicated, but we are going to take it step by step and you will love the results. I didn't follow the pattern instructions much for […]
Every time I make a new block I feel as if I have a new favorite. This cutie is Star Flower, designed by Christine Weld of thequarterinch.blogspot.com for the Moda Bakeshop Summer in the Country sew along of a few years back. Construction was pretty simple, but I do recommend going slowly and making sure […]
I have a confession to make. I've been holding out on you in regard to yet another sew-along I find myself unable to resist. Have you heard of the Piece and Quilt sew-along hosted by Moda Fabrics? It is based on the Celebrate with Quilts book by Lissa Alexander and Susan Ache, two designers who […]
