I am calling this my Americana Sew Along Sampler Quilt. I made it as a block of the month saga during COVID. It was a sew-along sponsored by Debbie at Piecing the Past Quilts. I forget the name of the sew-along, Comfort and Joy, Peace and Happiness? I forget. It is my Americana Circus Tent. […]
This is the third block in the Halloween Figs sew along, hosted by The Quilt Spot. I tell you, this block took a minute. The half-square triangles measured 2 5/8", so using triangle papers wasn't an option. I made them a bit bigger and trimmed them down to size, and everything came together beautifully. As […]
If you would like to make a quick, colorful, fun, free, and easy quilt this summer, I highly recommend you check out the Sunny Patches sew-along hosted by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. Beginners and more experienced qulters: this quilt will be right up your alley. Corey publishes detailed instructions on her website Coriander Quilts, […]
Wooooooooo, it's a great feeling to get this spooky little wall hanging done! The project was sponsored by Fat Quarter Company, and the block patterns are completely free. It was an easy and fun project to work on. I hope I can get it out to be quilted (and back!) in time to use it […]
This is a mystery sew-along, so I am not sure exactly where we are going, but this layout looks like a possibility. I finished Week 3's block, the haunted house. Which is a stretch. It kinda looks like a haunted castle, but that's ok. And the cat is huge in proportion. It's ok, the sew-along […]
We got busy with some home organization projects at the end of last week and over the weekend, so not much sewing happened. I did finish block #10 of the 2022 Designer Mystery sew-along. It's the block on the bottom with the large navy square design. I think that is a cool block, and I […]
This kitty is the second block in Fat Quarter Shops' Haunted Halloween sew-along. That tail is just not working for me. Watch for my next post, I will re-do it so it looks like it is curving instead of being broken off in two places. I think a couple of well-placed half square triangles will […]
I think the stars must be in alignment for me this week. Now that my sewing room is all tidied, everything I work on is coming out great. I had another terrific day in the sewing room yesterday. I finished another Summer Memories block, which means I only have three more to go. Today I […]
Opening Day, an older Miss Rosie pattern is now finished. You can find the pattern in Carrie Nelson's book "Miss Rosie's Farmhouse Favorites". I am so glad to get this off the design wall and move on to something else! It has been a UFO for over 12 years. Not sure what I'll do with […]
Time to switch gears and look at something different. Fat Quarter Shop is hosting a free Halloween sew-along, which they have done for a couple of years now. This is called the Haunted Halloween Mystery sew-along, and the first free blocks came out this week, along with a YouTube video tutorial led by Kimberley. Check […]
