Seasonal Projects and Eva Gets a Surprise
I just love working on a seasonal project in keeping with whatever season I am in. I started this Fatquartershop free sew-along a week or so ago and am nearly finished with it. It is called Bats and Boos. All the free patterns are on the FQS website. I just need to make the center…

Fun Non-Quilting Project
When it is a known fact that one can sew, one often gets requests to make alterations or DIY home projects involving fabric. About 35 years ago, my husband and I bought a wrought iron patio set consisting of a loveseat, chair, and coffee table. We enjoyed it for years and I must have recovered…

Designer Mystery 22/23 Log Cabin Blocks
Good progress is being made with the Log Cabin alternate blocks for the Designer Mystery 2022/23 project. These are actually fun to make and are going together quickly and accurately. It helps me pass the time while sewing to listen to a good audiobook, and I've listened to a couple of them lately, which will…

Fabric Search & S’Mores Cake
Just throwing this out here: Does anyone have 2.5 -3 yards of this fabric they might want to sell me? It is Nantucket Summer by Camille Roskelley 55260 11. I've searched everywhere online, but there is none to be found. It would make a great border for the Designer Mystery 2023 project I am wrapping…

Archie at Almost Five Months and New Fabric
Time for an Archie update, and other updates as well. Archie will be five months old on August 13, and he has definitely become more civilized in the month he has been with us. But. He has a way to go. He is a cheerful, upbeat, clumsy, and super-friendly little guy. His main bad habit…

Back on Track
After a rough start on Monday, I had a better sewing experience on Tuesday. I discovered that the one block I had finished for week 2 I had made too large. Of course I did. I cut my lattice strips a quarter inch too wide, so I had to take the block apart and put…

Pink and Aqua
Not much sewing happening. I did get myself out in the fresh air and starched some pretty pink and aqua fabrics. I may use them for the Vintage Kite block project. My gosh, those blocks take a ton of fabric. It says if you use one fabric for the background, you need 8 yards for…

Lucky Charms
Just look at this gorgeous fabric! It is called Lucky Charms and is by Andover Fabrics. It isn't easy to find a collection of such great greens, so I am super happy to have bought it. I have no idea what I'll make with it, but there are 24 fat quarters, so I think I'll…

Relaxing Weekend
Eva and I got the Halloween decorations put away and brought out a few Thanksgiving things. Daylight Savings Time started, so it feels like it is dinner time, but it's only a quarter past 3. My photos are all kind of dark, and that is what it was like in my house at the time.…

Sewcialites 2 Quilt Along
This is my latest fabric acquisition, Buttercup and Slate by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. It was hard to justify the purchase when I have a closet bulging with fabric, but I did it anyway. My bedroom has green walls and a quilt with green in it looks ever so nice there. I've purchased a…
