Light At the End of the Tunnel (in more ways than one!)
I have been sewing! I wasn't completely sure what I was going to share with you today, because there are choices! My number one priority right now is to get the rows of Moda BlockHeads 3 together and get this monster off my design wall. Naturally, I had forgotten all the details of what size…

Two Down, One to Go
I came home from seeing my father on Sunday afternoon thinking I would tear upstairs to the sewing room and get those three outer borders on this Little Village quilt. And I just couldn't. I was running on empty. The kind of empty where you just want to sit and play solitaire, or scroll mindlessly…

Maybe You Should Finish Something

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…

Pineapple Express
My Red Pineapple quilt is now officially bigger than my design wall. I sure did cut out a lot of strips to make this quilt ten years ago when I started it! I think there is enough fabric to make it 6 rows by 7 rows. Plenty big enough for my queen size bed. Wouldn't…

From the Vaults
Here is a UFO from the vaults for sure. This is my Red Pineapple Quilt, begun in 2012. Seriously. Every year I drag out the project box and re-visit these blocks and make one or two more. As you see, I have enough blocks to make a decent sized quilt. As shown the top would…

Piecing the Past Comfort & Blessings Finished
Finally finished! I got the borders on this quilt top at last and am so happy with the results. This was a summer block of the week sew-along called Comfort and Blessings by Piecing the Past quilts. And it was free! If you want the pattern now you can get it, but there is a…
