Moda Blockheads 5 is Finished!
Glory be, I have actually finished something. I had to stay inside out of the heat yesterday and used my time well. All 4th of July activities in our area were canceled except for our neighborhood golf cart parade. Even that was sparsely attended. As I write this it is 106°. I finished sewing all…

Moda Blockheads- Sewing Top Together
I couldn't resist showing one more picture of Moda Blockheads 5. I just need to sew the rows together and this top will be nearly done. I wasn't feeling great yesterday so I didn't sew, but I hope to complete this task today. I also may have done a bit of fabric shopping lately. Aren't…

Moda Blockheads 5- Final Layout
I am so glad to wrap up this project! This is Moda Blockheads 5 a sew-along that will continue on through mid-November, but I have all the blocks I need to make my chosen layout, so it's a finish for me. If you like this layout, the Star Dance pattern is free from My Sew…

Moda Blockheads is a Near Finish
I got busy yesterday and decided that I am done with Moda Blockheads. I finished all but one 12 inch block, which I will do today. I have my setting all planned out. I need to cut out my setting pieces, but the fabric is all starched and ready to cut, so I am good…

Moda Blockheads Substitute and Snow
Oh my gosh, some spring break this has been. We had planned originally to go down to Palm Desert to enjoy some sunshine, but couldn't find a decent place to stay. We canceled those plans and decided to stay home. This has been a very lazy week, with me spending too much time on the…

Sad Archie and Three More Blockheads Blocks
Archie got through his alteration procedure very well according to the veterinarian. Clearly, he has another opinion and is feeling rather pathetic. As I write this, he's only been home for a half an hour. He promptly went to his squishy dog bed and is now asleep. He is taking pain medication and had a…

Moda Blockheads Block 8
I made Moda Blockheads Block 8. And then I made it again. Let's take a look at both versions and I will tell you why I like the second one better. The first block is fine, but the center seems kind of random and adds nothing to the overall design. In version 2, the green…

Moda Blockheads Block 7 and Conquer a Classic
Another Moda Blockheads block. This is block 7, designed by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. The fabric I am using for this sew-along is also designed by Vanessa, for Moda Fabrics. It is an older collection called Harvest Road. My background is also hers, from her Flower Pot range. I used my 3-inch finished foundation…
