Oh my, I am in love with this! These blocks are made with Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Cupcake Mix Foundation Papers #1. What you see above is 16 blocks made with the papers and a charm pack of "Late Bloomers" by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I have loved the experience of paper piecing, and working […]
After prepping my honey bun over the weekend, I was all set to try out my new It's Sew Emma Log Cabin Foundation Paper. I used the 6-inch size with my honey bun of Squirrelly Girl. The papers were straight forward enough, and I got up to speed by watching a YouTube video first. Here […]
We are all familiar with Jelly Rolls and Honeybuns, right? If you are not, both are popular pre-cuts offered by fabric companies. They are super convenient, and there are loads of books and patterns out there with wonderful ideas on how to use them. Pre-cuts are fabrics that are part of a complete designer collection […]
Hello friends. I hope you all are having a good week. I've been busy with homeschooling, so not much sewing action is going on. I did get into the sewing room for a couple of hours, though. Pre-cuts have been on my mind from our discussion earlier this week. I am itching to get into […]
Here is something new I picked up recently. Fat Quarter Shop is offering piecing papers in a couple of different formats for common quilt blocks that call for accuracy, such as Log Cabin and Square in a Square. The Log Cabin papers are recommended for use with 1 1/2" strips, or the precuts called honey […]
On Sunday, I put together nine or so of the American Pie blocks I've been working on hit or miss this summer. I found myself vaguely dissatisfied with them and can't put my finger on why. Do you think I should add another color or two into the mix? I've got red, rust, green, brown, […]
There has not been much recipe sharing around here, so I thought I'd show you something I made recently. I thoroughly enjoyed making this Cheesy Leek Galette. It is a Pioneer Woman recipe called Cheesy Asparagus Tart. I don't eat asparagus, so I made some necessary changes to the recipe. It seems pretty forgiving, so […]
Three little runners off to the quilter. Two are fallish, one is for Christmas. By the time I get them back the sunflower one will be kind of out of season, but I will definitely use the maple leaf one for Thanksgiving and the red/green/black/cream/gold one for Christmas. And Cinnaberry is the other quilt going […]
Finally finished! I got the borders on this quilt top at last and am so happy with the results. This was a summer block of the week sew-along called Comfort and Blessings by Piecing the Past quilts. And it was free! If you want the pattern now you can get it, but there is a […]
Well, this turned out somewhat better than I had expected. With backing and batting and quilting, the light green background on this pumpkin table runner does look darker. My quilter used an adorable pumpkin vine quilting motif in green thread, which enhances the green background. It is still awfully subtle, but I guess it is […]
