My New Projects for 2026

Now that I have a couple of finished UFOs and WIPs out of the way, I am excited for the new projects I have begun in 2026. My goal was to try to use leftover fabric from past projects and see if I could use up some of the stash I have accumulated. Yesterday afternoon, […]

Autumn Nights Table Topper Finished

Autumn Nights table topper is finished

Yay me, I managed to finish the Autumn Nights table topper from Fat Quarter Shop. I changed up the borders a bit after seeing a photo someone posted on the Facebook site. I liked the addition of the narrow orange containment border and thought the taupe outer border was a bit boring. The orange print […]

Wonky Star Blocks

The first blocks in the Fat Quarter Shop Autumn Nights sew-along are these Wonky Stars. Fast and easy, and quite forgiving, since there is plenty of room for the points. I am a bit behind with this project due to losing a couple of weeks in my Great Blog Migration drama. I picked up my […]
