Sorry for the lack of content the past few days. I find myself in the grip of a cold and not good for much. Hopefully I will be back soon.
I couldn't help myself. I just had to make week 2 and week 3 blocks for the Aunt Addie Mystery Sew Along. The blocks are fun, and I am enjoying my teal and brown fabrics from my stash. Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 I keep worrying that I won't like the quilt when the […]
Thank you all so much for all your suggestions on how to be more successful with making this block. There are so many ways to get to a good result: make half square triangles instead of sewing triangles to the square, hand piece the block, paper piece the block and more. For me though, it […]
Have you all heard about Kathleen Tracy's sew along? Aunt Addie's Mystery Quilt. Each month, Kathleen posts a pattern for a block, and we make six 4 1/2" versions of it. I got a late start, but the sew along looks like fun. I am not a fan of mystery quilts in general, but I […]
I got this little table runner back from the quilter last week. I have the binding attached but not sewn down. The quilt is one twelve inch Ohio Star block, four six inch Ohio Star blocks and twelve flying geese. I had some Fig Tree reds in a bin, which is what I used. Easy […]
Six more blocks are done, and this is my progress so far. Not too many more to go. Not much to report this week. I have been reading a really good book, "Daisy Jones and The Six", a story loosely based on the rock band Fleetwood Mac. It is really engrossing, and if you grew […]
I had my tiny little table topper quilted, and it came out so cute! It is the perfect size for a candle or vase of flowers. Still need to do the binding, but at least I have the fabric and know where to find it. I needed more fabric for my Sweet Escape blocks, and […]
Do you see where I am going with this? I will end up with four quadrants of blue stars with red centers. All my taupe blocks will be used as the "background" blocks. I did not have quite enough of the navy blue fabric and had to order a few more fat quarters, which should […]
I have been cooking up a storm in my new Instant Pot. I may have made the best soup of my life-Loaded Potato Soup. The recipe can be found here. The recipe was for the 3 Quart Mini Instant Pot, and made at least five servings. I have had it three times since I made […]
So guess what came to my house yesterday? I may be the last person on the planet to get one of these, but I am now the owner of an Instant Pot! The Instant Pot is the modern version of a pressure cooker, with the addition of the features of being able to saute and […]
