I think I mentioned that I had a few (ahem, a lot) of UFOs in my closets. Well, the cleaners are coming this morning, so yesterday I got out the step stool, climbed up, and got all the UFO project boxes down off the shelves in the guest room to have a look. I need […]
Debbie guessed the new sew-along from my post yesterday. The block with the gazillion pieces is the first one in Heather Briggs’ The Year of Strawberries 2026 sew-along. It turned out so darn cute, but wow, that was a heck of a lot of pieces and seam matching. I was hopping up and down from […]
One more WIP nearly checked off my list. I got the Cali & Co blocks together, all but borders. I have a white 1 1/2 inch narrow containment border to attach, and then an outer border. I believe I will have to order some fabric for the outer border. But for now, this counts as […]
I finally got Halloween Figs off the design wall. This quilt is not finished, not by a long shot. There are three borders to put on it, one of them elaborately (of course) pieced. I just need to put HF down for a nap for a few months. I will revisit this top in the […]
Well, I have been talking a lot about getting WIPs and UFOs organized and prioritized. I’ve made my lists and now it is time for me to walk the walk and actually get some of these projects finished and out of my project bins and off the design wall. I spent some time over the […]
Some of the best quilts I have ever made have been the product of sew-alongs and BOMs. I have had great luck with many Fat Quarter Shop BOMs, Moda Fabrics sew-alongs, and other projects hosted by favorite fabric designers. These organized quilt-alongs are inspiring, challenge your abilities, and put you in touch with other quilters […]
Are you ready to plan your quilting projects for 2026? Since this is the year for being organized, let’s get started. Let’s start with our list from yesterday, our WIPs and UFOs. Which of those are your priorities to complete? There are probably one or two that are going to the top of the list. […]
Yesterday we discussed WIPs (works in progress), and today we are going to take a look at UFOs (unfinished objects). What is the difference between the two things? Well, a WIP is a project you are currently working on or have set aside when something new took your attention away from it. It has not […]
At the start of the new year, I’ve decided my main priority is to get organized in a few areas of my life. Like many of my fellow quilters, things sometimes get out of hand, and I have no idea where I stand in terms of WIPs (works in progress), UFOs (unfinished objects), and future […]
When I started to gather photos to write this post, I was thinking that I probably don’t have much to show for my year of quilting. However, I wasn’t entirely correct about that! While I may not have had many finishes at the end of the year, when I look back, I actually completed more […]
