Thank you to all of you who have sent me such helpful suggestions on how I might make my corner triangles align more accurately in my Metro Hoops project, using the Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful.  My blocks are flat, they are squaring up to a perfect 8 inches, but those darn […]

I am doing the best I can here with this QCR project, Metro Hoops.  Here are three components of each block unit.  A strip set, cut into a curved shape with the Quick Curve ruler, and two side pieces, also cut with the QCR. All you have to do is sew them together so you […]

This will be brief, as you can see my finger isn't up to typing so well. This may be the first on record curved piecing related injury.  I actually got my finger under the needle trying to manuever the fabric.  Don't ask.  They told me at Urgent Care that I won the prize for weirdest […]

Hey there, I wanted to give an update on my progress with my Quick Curve Ruler project.  First of all, I have changed my mind on fabric three times and on the pattern once.  I had originally planned to do the project in the fabric you see above, Oh My! by Sanae.  I changed my […]

Oh my goodness, do I love my latest finished project.  Whit, a Little Bites pattern, by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company.  You can click on the link and order this as a pdf pattern and  have it instantly!   This is what I have needed all those flying geese units for.  I made the pattern larger, […]

So, now that Trace is all quilted and on my kitchen counter, what could I do, but start another Little Bites.  The one I selected to make is Whit (by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.), and I chose the design that features the Dutchman's Puzzle blocks.  I happened to have on hand (due to my recent […]
