Mercantile Blocks All Finished!
I'm vacationing in Ireland right now, and I can promise you I am not thinking about sewing. However, before I left, I put together a few quilty posts for you all. Two days before we left I actually got the last two blocks done for the Mercantile sew-along. I plan to trim the blocks down…

Flea Market is Finished!
Ta-da, I have finished Flea Market! I made the quilt exactly as the pattern directed. For a time I was so tired of working on it that I thought I would leave out the outer border of posies, but thought better of it. I am glad I kept them in because, in my opinion, they…

Posie Blocks Done!
The posie blocks are finally finished, all 40 of them. I slapped them up on the design wall so you can get an idea of what it will look like. Two narrow borders need to go on first, a dark brown one and a white one. We are getting there. My Mercantile background fabric arrived…

I am so happy with the way this quilt top is coming together! This is Snowman Gatherings, a 2015 Designer Mystery project by Fat Quarter Shop. I didn't sign up for the sew along when it was going on, but a kind reader sold me her kit, for which I am so grateful. This is…

Snowman Gatherings Quilt
Yesterday those of us in the US celebrated Martin Luther King Day, which turned into a four-day weekend for me since I had Friday free as well. I made great use of my time and have been sewing and reading up a storm. I didn't leave the house except to walk Archie. I have finished…
