I have been having fun pulling out my 4th of July decor. This little quilt is one of my favorites, a pattern called Endearments by Betsy Chutchian. I looked for a link to the pattern, but could not find one. It may be out of print. Betsy has a unique Civil War Reproduction style that […]
A year ago, Fig Tree & Co. fabrics came out with a gorgeous collection for Halloween. This is one of several Halloween-themed collections Fig Tree has come out with over the past few years. The pattern above was a Block of the Month program featuring their All Hallow's Eve collection. Fig Tree's latest Halloween-themed collection […]
This is a mystery sew-along, so I am not sure exactly where we are going, but this layout looks like a possibility. I finished Week 3's block, the haunted house. Which is a stretch. It kinda looks like a haunted castle, but that's ok. And the cat is huge in proportion. It's ok, the sew-along […]
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 […]
