I've lost my mind lately, picking up great end-of-the-summer bargains online and in person. Honestly, I may have gone overboard. But, hey, it's ok, you only live once and you can't take it with you. This bundle is Stitch by Fig Tree. It is an older collection from 2022 that I found for a great […]
Oh my gosh, can I tell you how much I love this quilt? I just unpacked it and spread it out on the floor to take a picture. I've been calling it the Love quilt (for obvious reasons). It is one of two quilts I made out of the Moda Blockheads 3 experience. I am […]
I read quite a lot this month, but overall, I found it to be a very ho-hum month in terms of what I actually loved. For some reason, maybe I was just in a mood, most of these books were just ok for me. I read 12 books, and only four of them made it […]
After all the sewing I did over the weekend, my other responsibilities are catching up with me. This week doesn't look as if it will be as productive. I did work on the patchwork border for the Strawberry Garden quilt. All the units are made. I need to connect them and attach them to the […]
Remember this? It is the Riley Blake Design Challenge 2025, the sew-along I was not going to participate in. That being declared, I did make most of the blocks. I went at my own pace, and substituted a block here and there when I didn't care for the monthly offering. The Riley Blake Designer challenges […]
I went down the Drunkard's Path for sure this week. I am not sure what inspired me to starch and press my Autumn fabric collection by Lori Holt and drag out my Drunkard's Path templates, but this is the result. I used a pattern called Daybreak Mini by Sheri McConnell of A Quilting Life for […]
I had a lovely bundle of Autumn fabric by Lori Holt on the shelf and it has been calling to me. I wanted to make another mini quilt for late summer/early fall, and those colors are just perfect. I am not sure where I got the notion, but I thought I might make a small […]
I made a few more blocks for the Designer Mystery 2024 quilt. I may eliminate that block on the lower left. I think it's too red, and also the house pattern is placed weirdly. I like the block however, and may re-do it with aqua as the center color and just a touch of red […]
I thought I share an update on the projects I am currently focusing on. It is true that I love working on multiple things at one time, which can be overwhelming. I do enjoy the variety, and I definitely never get bored. I am concentrating on a couple of newish projects, but also finishing up […]
I am going to be down for the count for a couple of days. We have a history of colorectal cancer in our family, so I get regular colonoscopies every three years. I think this time it may have actually been five years since my last one. The procedure itself isn't a big deal. It […]
