Bella Solids Lights De-mystified
When it comes to the Moda Bella Solids that are so prevalently used as background fabrics, have you been confused? Have you wondered which of the cream or white fabrics is a perfect match for the fabric collection you are working with? Well, I have kinda sorta figured it out. One thing that may help…

Roselyn Fabric Collection
This new collection called Roselyn by Minick and Simpson finally has arrived in fabric shops. Poor Moda is a month or more backed up in its release schedule due to shipping delays and issues with the weather in Texas. I have been waiting for this one for a while and am so glad to get…

Fancy Summer Breeze
Isn't this pull of fabric happy? It is a combination of Lori Holt's "Prim" and "Flea Market", Corey Yoder's "Spring Brook", and Lily Ashbury's "Fancy". I think Lily Ashbury was ahead of her time with those fun bright-hued fabrics. They are hugely popular now with designers such as Lori Holt and April Rosenthal putting out…

Heartfelt Sew Along
This is the first block in another sew-along hosted by Gay Bomers at Sentimental Stitches. This one is called Heartfelt and is a block of the week program. The cost is $30, and since the program lasts for 30 weeks, it breaks down to $1 per block/week, which seems like a great deal when you…

Perfect for February
How beautiful is this fabric collection? It is Roselyn by Minick and Simpson. I am sure it was meant to come out in February for Valentine's projects, but due to COVID-related shipping delays, it hasn't come out yet. I bought this little fat 8th bundle from an Etsy seller. No idea how she managed to…

French General Explosion

Thrifty Me
I had a lot of leftovers from my recent Red Pineapple finish. Normally, I am not one to fret about using up leftover fabric, but I had an idea for what to do with them. I have had foundation paper piecing on my mind lately and purchased a couple of the 6" Log Cabin paper…

Apricot and Ash, Corey Yoder
Isn't this stack of fabrics luscious? It is Apricot and Ash by Corey Yoder, a Moda designer. There is a sew-along coming up called Serendipity that I want to do. Click here for fabric requirements. It is a row quilt, you know, the kind where you make multiples of some blocks and arrange them in…

This and That
I know I've shown this a million times, but the latest update is that I have completed all 42 blocks and have begun to sew them together! The intersections where the cream sections have to fit together isn't absolutely consistent, which is driving me a bit bonkers. If it is really off, I have had…
