Opening Day Is Coming Together!
I am making major strides toward finishing my Opening Day UFO. Yesterday I got three rows of stars sewn together for the center of the quilt. I was thrilled that the points of the stars are all coming together great. There was some concern in my mind that they might not. And I am thrilled…

Opening Day Flying Geese and Stars
Here we have 36 star blocks for Opening Day! Making them wasn't too bad, except for trying to starch the already pieced units. I did switch over to Mary Ellen's Best Press, and it is working pretty well. The fabric doesn't get as stiff as I like, but you know what that product is brilliant…

March UFO, and Probably April and May too
Now that my green Don't Fence Me In quilt is a finish, I thought I had better stick to my goals and pick a UFO to work on for March. As I went through my bins of UFOs, I came to a halt when I saw my red blocks from the Lori Holt/Bee In My…

This was a block-of-the-week kit/program sponsored by Primitive Gatherings. The pattern is now available on their website. It's a great scrap quilt project, and once you get those center…

February UFO
This is my UFO for February. I thought I had more blocks to make, but the quilt is vast, and I think I have enough blocks made to cover my queen-sized bed nicely, with overhang. So I started laying out the blocks and sewing together the top few rows. I think I love this quilt. …

Take It Easy: A Finished UFO
This is my first UFO finish for 2023. I had promised myself that I would finish one UFO each month this year, so I am off to a good start. The quilt is a pattern by Primitive Gatherings called Take It Easy. The fabric was one or two jelly rolls of a past (really pretty)…

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…
