Star Studded Event Sewing and Netflix
I am not quite finished sewing my Laundry Basket Mystery rows together, but hope to tackle that today. Only about five seams to sew. I took a break from that project and worked on something where I could just sit and stitch and watch Netflix. I pulled out my Star Studded Event projects and made…

Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt–Blocks Done!
Well, that was intense! 100 blocks in fifteen days. Whew. I got it done though, and am glad I can sew the blocks together and call this a finish. I did end up changing out some of the fabrics in the last blocks. As we got closer to the center of the quilt, the colors…

Wallowing in Fabric
Is that not the most beautiful pull of fabric? It is what I am planning to use for the Comfort and Joy quilt-along hosted by Piecing the Past. I had it all in my stash, and only ordered a few more backgrounds. I love Civil War reproduction fabrics as you know, but I am especially…

Filling the Time
Filling time, or doing time? We are getting by either way. Today along with our homeschooling, we made a chocolate cake. It starts with a cake mix, but tastes a lot fancier. It is a Pioneer Woman recipe called Top Secret Chocolate Cake. It was so good, as tasted and reviewed by Chef Eva. We…

It’s About Time
This is a big announcement for me. So often kind people who are interested in reading my blog ask me how they can follow me and receive notifications when I post. Duh. I am not very tech-savvy, and I have never known how to make that happen. "I don't know, just check-in every weekday?" is…

Can I Keep Up?
These are the five days of blocks I have made for the Laundry Basket Mystery Sew Along. 36 blocks in five days. This sew along is intense, I tell you. Honestly, I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with eight new blocks a day. And that is ok. I am…

Laundry Basket Quilts Mystery Sew Along
Edyta of Laundry Basket Quilts is doing a really fun mystery sew along. I am usually leary of mystery quilts, but decided to give this one a go. I am really pleased with the blocks so far, and what I especially like is that she shows you the block layout with each addition. Now, this…

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…
