I ordered a couple of things from the Fatquartershop and when I took them out of the box I was so excited I took a couple of pictures to share with you. First up are refills for the Sewline glue pen I was telling you all about. Great for appliqué. Next is the Farmer's […]
One of my favorite things is to take my beverage of choice and wander out into the back yard and check out the garden. This is one of the planter beds, and my word, things have really taken off since I last posted on it. See that? Tiny little tomatoes! The veggies are exciting, but […]
Crop Circles blocks are now sewn into rows. I probably should have spent more time stewing over how to arrange the blocks, as I see I have some same color center circles next to each other. I just kept it random and that is how it ended up. Next up are the borders, the side […]
Woo Hoo! Happy dance going on here. I finished 31 Crop Circles blocks. Love every single one of them, and only need 30, so one will have to go on the back I guess. Aren't they cute? Love that Gardenvale fabric by Jen Kingwell. I think it worked out so well for this pattern. Next […]
Wedges done, edges pressed under, circles made: Start your engines and let the appliquéing begin! The first order of business is to cut those perfect circles into quarters. For some reason that was hard for me. But I did it. There are a couple of ways to proceed with the wedges and quarter circles. You […]
I thought I would share something non-sewing related with you all. We live in an area where there are not a lot of educational or cultural resources. Besides running around outside that is. My grand daughter does go to preschool, but I often wonder about the quality of the activities that are offered. Their strength […]
The lady who cleans my house was here yesterday morning and I always try to stay out of her way. My project while she was cleaning upstairs was to press the rest of my wedge segments for the Crop Circles blocks. I made myself a little ironing station on the kitchen counter. I used my […]
I am going to have to rename this quilt. It is called Crop Circles by the pattern designer, Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, but I call it The Quilt of a Thousand Steps. If you have been following along with this sew along Sinta of Pink Pincushion and I are doing, you may […]
I know. It's going on right now. Don't you wish you could go? I have never been, and probably never will get to go, but I feel the excitement! Do you do Instagram? If so, check out the posts by Fatquartershop and by Modafabrics. They are sending a barrage of photos through Instagram showing some […]
Are you a fabric tearer? As in, ripping your fabric instead of cutting it? In the past I have visited a terrific quilt shop when I traveled to Wisconsin. The women who work at that shop never cut your length of fabric, they rip it! The first time I experienced that I just gasped in […]
