This was going to be an update on all the sew-alongs I am currently working on, but since the only one I have made any progress on is Mercantile, it is now a Mercantile Sew-Along Update. I have finished 14 blocks an am really happy with all of them except the Maple Leaf block. That […]
I mentioned that I am participating in a sew-along called Etoile Rouge, hosted by Kathryn Kerr. You do have to pay to join it, and it started at the beginning of January. She isn't taking any more signups for now but runs the same sew-along every year starting in January. So, if you like the […]
You all know that I work on multiple projects at a time. I love the variety of having all sorts of different things going on, and I sure never get bored. The following projects are those that I am actively working on each week. I also have projects in line to finish: mainly with borders […]
I am all caught up with this week's Mercantile Sew-Along blocks. The top one is Spool and Bobbins block, and the lower one is Soda Pop Star. Both were fun to make. I am using my own fabrics for the blocks and sometimes am switching up the background fabric from what Lori is using. I […]
Yesterday I got caught up on the Moda Blockheads blocks. We are up to the fifth block in this second session of block offerings. Last week's block, Morning Star by Barbara Groves is on the left, and Glimmer by Janet Clare is on the right. These are both in the 6 inch size. I know […]
Today I'd like to tell you about a new sew-along that Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet is doing. It is called Mercantile and features a new fabric line of Lori's as well as a gazillion of her products and notions. There will be two blocks a week, with tutorials on her blog site. […]
Week 7 of Moda Blockheads 5 was designed by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life, and I love it. This is a great block and I will definitely be making it again for other projects. I am making a little change to my color palette for this project. I was originally using some brighter oranges […]
My 100 Sampler Spree blocks are all done. I actually have probably made 120 blocks, but not all of them made the cut. I put the ones I like best on the design wall, but they will need to be arranged somewhat more. Those two lightning bolt/zig zag blocks on the bottom two rows are […]
Monday was productive in the sewing room. I finished my fifteen light blue blocks. Then I finished my dark orange blocks! Now, I have been working on this project for a couple of years and had many of the blocks already made. For most of my colorways, I only needed to make less than six […]
This Saturday I finished all the brown blocks for the Sampler Spree Quilt Along. Going forward, I am going to work on finishing up the blocks for each color one at a time. That way I can be sure not to duplicate fabrics too much, or leave out anything good. It's fun to see them […]
