Friendship Star Blocks
How cute is this little mini quilt? The measurements at this point are 19" x 28'. There will be one last narrow border of one of the black prints, but it hasn't arrived yet. I found someone on Etsy who was selling some of this Kathy Schmitz Round Robin fabric, which has been out since…

Pretty Much a Perfect Day
Yesterday was pretty much my idea of a perfect day. I finished up my little friendship blocks, and will sew them together today after I switch out a block or two that I don't like. There will be a sweet little pieced border on this, and a final outer border. I am thinking it will…

Pineapples!
I had so much fun making these 6 1/2 inch Pineapple blocks with the Creative Grids ruler. The blocks came out so perfect. I'd love an entire quilt of these little blocks. I have to say, I think a whole quilt would take a ton of fabric. What a stash buster though. In other…

Mini Pineapple Blocks
Aren't these mini Pineapple Blocks the cutest things ever? I was totally inspired by a block Thelma made and posted on Instagram. She is making an epic Jen Kingwell sampler quilt, and one of the blocks in the quilt consists of nine mini Pineapple Blocks. Seriously, go check out Thelma's picture of it on Instagram.…

Barn Stars Blocks Done
I have been sewing up a storm these past few days! I got my Barn Stars all finished, and will probably put that little quilt top together after the Thanksgiving holiday. As much as I hate to drag myself away from the QE440, I do have some cooking to do for the feast day. My…

More Barn Stars
Lazy day around the house yesterday. I finished a few more Barn Stars. Eight done, eight more to go. These little blocks are so cute and fun to make. That tiny darker square in the center of each block is a one inch square sewn diagonally on the corner of a 1 1/2" square.…

Barn Stars
I started a new project yesterday, called Barn Stars. These little blocks are the cutest things ever. They are only 4 1/2 inches! It is a Simple What Nots kit I never got around to finishing, and now that I have time on my hands, I can finally get to it. I am simply loving…

Bernina Update
Bad news on the Bernina front. The repair man tells me the timing is completely out of whack on my new Bernina 740 and that the entire lower electronics are affected and he can't fix it. He is going to ship it back to Bernina USA in Illinois and have their tech team look at…

Cinnamon Sticks
I almost called this post "Trying to Keep Busy", because things are upside down right now. My Berninia is still in the shop with undiagnosed issues. My husband is taking my also sick alternate/back up Bernina 153 to a different repair man we have used in the past. He likes to put stickers on things,…

Thankful and Do-Over Day
We got some bad news yesterday that has been partially taken back today. That is Eva getting a smooch on the cheek from our Remy. (She was eating a cupcake and he had designs on those crumbs on her lips). Poor little guy has been limping lately, and his right thigh muscles have gotten…
