I can't tell you how much I am loving working with this fabric. "Cozy Up" by Corey Yoder. It is so cheerful, yet has a late summer/fallish vibe, that is right up my alley. And what's not to love about a granny block? Or in this case, a Great Granny Block. This large 17 1/2 […]
Yesterday I did get caught up in the Midnight Moon sew-along. I knew I had weeks 10 and 11 to do, but discovered I had somehow skipped week 7, All good now, all done. That star block in the middle of the upper row? I did that three times. I just could not get the […]
When you have multiple sew-alongs going on, it is easy to fall behind. And that is what is happening to me at the moment. Not too badly, but enough so that I plan to spend today catching up on several of the sew-alongs I am participating in. First up is Midnight Moon, a sew-along based […]
Not much sewing going on this week. I wish I had an interesting excuse for not posting much, but I don't, other than we are trying to get into our summer routine of swim team practice, play dates, etc. I did get the Moda Blockheads 4 block finished. When set straight, it is supposed to […]
Well, I made a happy discovery yesterday. I was looking at the "Rollin' Along" book featuring the jelly roll quilt I want to make and took a closer look at the fabric used in the quilt. Hmmm, turns out it is a collection called Cozy Up by Corey Yoder. Which I happen to have a […]
I picked up this recently published book, Rollin' Along by Moda Bake Shop that features quilts made from Jelly Rolls. Then I found out Moda Bake Shop is going to do a sew-along for one of the quilts in the book. The quilt is called Family Reunion and showcases one of my favorite blocks, the […]
Here we go, May book reviews continued! Have I ever got some good ones for you. The Change by Kirsten Miller is a feminist revenge fantasy, not a favorite genre for me. I recently read another book with this theme called The Collective by Alison Gaylin, which I pretty much hated. The Change was a […]
May was a big reading month for me. I read 14 books for the most part. I quit reading 3 of them about halfway through though. So 11 books in full. Out of those 11 that I finished 7 were hardback books, 3 were audiobooks, and 1 was on my Kindle. The 3 I DNFd […]
Summer has arrived and that means some sewing, some reading, and some Eva time. This is a block for the Peace and Healing BOW I have been working on. Love this block. Eva is really into making smoothies these days. And they are a delightful treat on a warm afternoon. This one was strawberries, bananas, […]
Another great table runner pattern. This one is called Zig Zag by Lehman Designs. It is fast, it's easy, and I have made four of them in two days. lol. The 4th of July one is pictured above. I made a cream, red, and brown one with leftover 3 Sisters fabric. This one could stay […]
