Don’t Fence Me In Quilt Pattern
Just a quick post today to show my pretty green rail fence blocks. The pattern is Don't Fence Me In by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. (I mistakenly called it Gazebo in an earlier post). The fabrics are called Lucky Charms, which I got online from Shabby Fabrics. I got all the fabric cut out and…

Take It Easy
Well, friends, it seems that I may indeed finish a UFO for the month of January! I picked the Take It Easy quilt project I had started heaven knows how long ago, and tackled finishing up the blocks. All blocks are made, and all border blocks are made. This week, actually today and tomorrow I…

Tackle Those UFOs
Have you made a list of your UFOs and started tackling them? My January UFO is Take It Easy, a jelly roll quilt pattern by Primitive Gatherings. I started it a couple of years ago and it has been sitting in a project box half finished for a while. I do love a red and…

Sewcialites 2 Progress
These are the first 12 blocks I've made in the Sewcialites 2 sew-along. I think I swapped out one block I didn't like with a different 9-inch quilt block pattern. Middle row, last on the right I think. I am using the Flower Pot collection by Lella Boutique for Moda. The navy blue colorway in…

Not Much Sewing, Some Reading
I don't have much to share this week, sadly. My work assignments have been taking up all my time, so there hasn't been much sewing. I did finish a Designer Mystery block, but that is all I've managed. I am listening to an excellent audiobook. Dominicana by Angie Cruz is a backlist title from 2019…

UFO for January

Let’s Get This Done
I buckled down and finished making those darn square in a square blocks for the Family Reunion quilt. I then cut out the 7/8" wide lattice strips that separate them. I made good progress with those and hope to get this darn project done and off the design wall this week. Are you interested in…

Crazy Weather and Some Sewing
Rain? We've got rain. Wind? We've got wind. Flooding? So many roads in our area are closed. Power? Luckily yes. Internet? Finally back on. Rain hitting sewing room window. Whew, my area of California is sure getting hit with some weather. We had no internet all of yesterday and many neighbors did not have power…

Sampler Spree Quilt Along
During the past couple of weeks, I have had an opportunity to putter around in my sewing room and take a look at the many projects I have started over the past couple of years and have not finished. Sharing the care of my father was a privilege, but it definitely prevented me from keeping…

Sewing and Baking
I am having so much fun with these little village blocks from the Fat Quarter Shop 2015 Designer Mystery kit. This is the Schoolhouse if you couldn't tell. Love the little flag and bell tower. Fast forward seven years to the 2022 Designer Mystery project for block #6 designed by April Rosenthal. That plaid was…
