Back on track this week with the BOM Rehab, I am happy to say! I finished Block Eleven of the Peace on Earth Designer Mystery BOM over the weekend. That project is definitely coming together and all that will remain will be the lattice, which involves a star pattern and is awfully pretty. I've been […]
This could be a wordless post, but of course I can't resist the opportunity to use words when I have the occasion. I just do not know what happened to me over the past two months. My asthma was acting up this winter, and I lost about 10 pounds. Bad about the asthma, hallelujah about […]
I have a new pattern I am hoping to use someday soon. It is called "Kiss Me" by Fig Tree and Co. I love the use of scrappy reds at any time, and this quilt fits the bill. It is made with fabrics from the Fig Tree Strawberry Fields collection, which I have been on […]
A big hug and kiss to Cheryl at Fig Tree Studio for her excellent advice as to what Moda Solid would be best as a coordinate for Fig Tree fabrics. The cream Fig Tree uses is quite distinctive, as it is almost a pale yellow. You can see how great it goes with the Fig […]
This week is just getting away from me already and it barely started! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. I did! I missed the BOM Rehab Monday post yesterday. So sorry!! Maybe I can get two blocks made this week for next time. My son in law opened up his new wine tasting […]
I've been so crafty this week! These are sixteen mug rugs I made for my son in law's new wine tasting room. Not to be used by the guests, but to be sold in sets of four. I plan to make lots more, and may do some sets of Drunkard's Path. Which would either be […]
There is nothing more effective for making you realize how tense you are than machine quilting. I got a notion to practice my machine quilting this week, and it was quite an eye opener. I had two pieces of wonky strips I had stitched together awhile back, and thought they would make cute table runners. […]
I just had to cut out a background square and make a center circle to be appliqued to one of my Dresden Plate blocks. Sure, I know, I have only made three out of the twelve "plates" so far, but I love to have a finished Inspiration Block to cheer me on while I complete […]
I have been seriously sidetracked this week. Well, maybe scattered is a better word. Being "sidetracked" implies that one has a primary project one is working on, to be sidetracked from. Since I have four or five dozen projects in various stages of incompletion, I can't technically be sidetracked, can I? It's just one big […]
Luckily this block was the easiest thing in the world to make, or I probably would have missed the BOM Rehab deadline today! Well, it is still Monday where I live, and I did come in just under the wire. I was wrong about the name of this collection of fabric in a previous post. […]
