American Pie Block Units Done
Remember this project? It is a one-block quilt called American Pie, an older pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company that lends itself beautifully to scrap busting. I picked it up at the beginning of the pandemic, thinking it would be a fun project to occupy me for a few weeks while we sheltered in place. …

Holly Berries/Cinnaberry
I keep calling this quilt "Cinnaberry" but the proper name of the pattern is "Holly Berries". The fabric line is Cinnaberry by 3 Sisters for Moda. I love the design's powerful simplicity and the elegance of the fabric. The pattern was free, and still is available through Moda. Construction could not have been faster or…

Moda BlockHeads 1 Finally Finished
This has been a long time coming. I finally got Moda BlockHeads 1 finished. My big hold up was the borders. I wanted to do something fancy and different for the borders, and had an idea to add a flying geese border, then an outer border or two. I made a gazillion flying geese and…

Binding
Every week on my To Do/Planner I write "Bindings" in an effort to complete the massive pile of bindings that I need to sew onto my finished quilts. I just do not enjoy sewing bindings. I know, lots of people love doing it. Well, I wish they would come sit on my porch with me…

A Quilt For Her Sister
Several years ago I mentored a young friend for a year. She was working on her senior project for high school and wanted to learn how to quilt. She was an apt and eager student, and during the course of year, she completed several baby quilts which were donated to women in need who had…

Sweet Escape Finished!
I am so happy to share this Sweet Escape quilt with you all. It has been on my design wall for ages, just waiting for me to sew the rows together. It wasn't such a hard task after all, and it feels great to have it done. The Sweet Escape Sew Along was hosted by…

Two Runners Put to Use
The binding is going well. I've been sitting on the porch with an audio book and stitching for awhile every day. This Fig Tree runner looks so pretty on my dining table. I love the toned down colors for summer. The colors in this one definitely are not toned down, but it is so darn…

I Am a Slacker
I think one of the reasons I have been avoiding my sewing room is due to all the nearly finished projects that have been piling up over the past year. I don't know what finally got me up there, but I bit the bullet this weekend and attached the binding to 9 quilts. Yes 9. …
