Doesn't this acorn table runner put you in the mood for fall? The pattern is Acorn Love by Lori Holt. The fabric is Cozy Up by Corey Yoder (plus some scraps from my stash). I love how this turned out, and how the quilting adds such great texture without being overwhelming. I will be enjoying […]
I picked up this project again, which had been gathering dust on my smaller design wall. It is a Moda Bake Shop sew-along called Family Reunion. The pattern of the same name is in the Moda Bake Shop Rollin' Along quilt book. The Family Reunion pattern was designed by Christine Wald. There are some really […]
This is my Moda Blockheads 4 quilt top, all pieced and finished. I sure do seem to enjoy these sampler quilt sew-alongs, evidenced by how many of them I have done! The patterns for this quilt were all free contributions by Moda designers and can be found on the Moda Fabrics website in the "archives". […]
Thank you to all of you who offered such comforting words of sympathy for the loss of my father. It was so sweet to read your kind comments. While his passing was not unexpected at his age, it still leaves a great hole in our family. It also leaves a great hole in how I […]
My father passed away Tuesday, October 11, 2022. He was a few weeks shy of his 97th birthday. He was a wonderful man. He was a Stanford professor for 25 years, then started up his own successful company with several colleagues. He traveled all over the world and took his wife and daughters with him […]
I finished all the setting and border units for the Moda Blockheads 4 setting. Sewing and trimming up those quarter square triangle units took forever. The flying geese were a weird size. 2 3/4 x 5 1/2 unfinished (2 1/4 x 5 finished). I was perplexed on how to make them until I discovered good […]
Yesterday I sewed quarter square triangles and began the process of trimming them. My goodness, this is going to take a while. I am using a five-and-a-half-inch square ruler to trim them down to 5 inches square. The center point of the unit has to hit right at the 2 1/2-inch mark on the ruler, […]
It felt wonderful to squeeze in some sewing on Sunday afternoon. Not much, just an hour or so, but I really needed the escape. I will be making a lot of flying geese units and quarter square triangle units for the setting layout for my Moda Blockheads 4 quilt. I am pretty excited about it […]
This is my latest fabric acquisition, Buttercup and Slate by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. It was hard to justify the purchase when I have a closet bulging with fabric, but I did it anyway. My bedroom has green walls and a quilt with green in it looks ever so nice there. I've purchased a […]
This little Halloween table topper is "Buffalo Check Table Topper", by Carried Away. It comes in a Christmas design as well, included in the same pattern. The Christmas version has little wrapped presents rather than pumpkins. It is always fun to put out new seasonal decor, even though my table runner cupboard is starting to […]
