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 […]
What an easy fix that was. This is a much better look. The tail on this kitty cat just wasn't working for me. Donna said it looked like it got stuck in a door. lol Why would anyone think that tail looked good? I think it is just strange. Apparently, a lot of other people […]
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 […]
Oh wow, here we are, nearly at the finish of the Summer Memories project designed by Susan Ache. I have the lattice all cut out and some of it assembled. It won't take long to get that done, and the outer border attached. It is indeed a light, summery quilt. I am so glad I […]
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 […]
I am so tired of making those half square triangles and basket blocks, I just had to switch things up for now. I pulled out the Sunny Patches project, which is made with a jelly roll and some fabric. This is an easy project and a cheerful and colorful one for summer. This is sponsored […]
My life has been pretty dull lately, but I do have a great recipe and a good book recommendation for you. The dish pictured above is called Caprese Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms. I took the photo just before popping them in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. They were so good, I swear I could […]
Some happy book mail came yesterday. The one called Fourth Wing is hugely popular and is sold out everywhere. My husband managed to snag a copy for me at Walmart of all places. The one on the bottom of the stack is "The Midnight News" by Jo Baker. She is the author of "Longbourne", which […]
