Christmas Among the Stars Again Months 1, 2, 3
Another glorious day of sewing yesterday. I have finished the first three months of the Fatquartershop Block of the month sew-along "Among the Stars Again". Now, here's a question for you. I could make this same block of the month with Fig Tree Halloween fabrics. I have a bundle of Fig Tree Pumpkins and Blossoms…

Christmas Among the Stars Again BOM Progress
Amidst the holiday hubbub, I managed to get into the sewing room for an hour or so. If I don't keep up with the Christmas Among the Stars Again sew along I am going to get behind. This is one of two blocks for the second month of the sew-along. I just paid for month…

Then This Happened
Oh dear, I am not sure what came over me. This is Fig Tree & Co.'s latest Halloween collection "Pumpkins and Blossoms". It is different from, but coordinates perfectly with their previous Halloween group "All Hallows Eve". You know I am making the "Among the Stars Again" Block of the Month in a beautiful Christmas…

Block One Christmas Among the Stars Again
I squeezed in some time to make the first block of the Christmas Among the Stars Again BOM program. I was delighted that one of the units in the block was an Hourglass. I had recently purchased just the perfect little tool for trimming them. I recently bought a set of Lori Holt's "Cute Cuts"…

Best One Yet
I squeezed in an hour up in my sewing room yesterday and made the best mug rug yet. Technically anyway. It went together without any glitches or hitches and the machine binding went perfectly. What a great discovery that technique was! A timesaver for sure. And I also got my pieces cut out for the…

Christmas Among the Stars Again BOM
Well, it looks like I am participating in a Christmas Block of the Month. I admit I was a bit surprised when this arrived in the mail. I recall seeing it and being interested, but I actually have no recollection of joining and ordering it. Oops. Must have been shopping with chardonnay again. I do…

Serendipity Sew-Along
I know there seem to be an awful lot of sew-alongs going on right now. You may have held off joining in on any of them. The current Serendipity Sew-Along hosted by the Fatquarter Shop might change your mind. This is the quilt Fatquarter Shop is making. They are using Corey Yoder's Spring Brook fabric…

Year of the Sew Along
2020 is turning into The Year of the Sew Along for me. In our current lockdown situation, so many designers, quilt shops, and groups are hosting the most fun sew alongs. If we are stuck in the house, surrounded by our fabric stashes, why not make the most of it! I have an all-time high…

Block Mayhem
I've been tossing BlockHeads 1 blocks right and left. I stare at my blocks on the design wall and see one that looks too dark, or one that looks too light, or one that has too much orange and "snap", it's out. And good grief, is anyone else troubled by blocks that look like swastikas? …

Sampler Block Resource
When I realized I needed more six inch blocks for the setting I have in mind for my BlockHeads1 sampler quilt, I started searching for block resources. The Summer Moon Block of the Month was quite popular last year, and a book has been published to go along with the sew along. The blocks in…
