Pie Birds
This is the first completed block in a Kim Diehl table runner that is made up of seven of these little guys. It took quite some time to put it together, as each of those block triangles is actually two folded corner triangle units sewn together. You do the sew and flip method with the…

Blissful Weekend of Sewing
What a wonderful peaceful weekend I had! On Saturday I got three more ModaBlockheads blocks done. You will notice one of them is a remake. I ended up remaking the block on the right with a darker background. I was going to try tea dying the lighter background one, but wasn't sure if after a…

Blogger Girls BOM
I know I am a few days early, but I have to give you a sneak peek at this month's Blogger Girls BOM. These are just the centers of the blocks, but I wanted you to see how really different the two resulting blocks are going to be. Just by changing out some background fabrics…
