Idea to Combine Two Quilts
Thanks for all your suggestions on what I should do with my Piece and Quilt blocks. I am pretty discouraged with that project and do not feel the excitement and joy I did when I started it. I have decided to put it away for now. I will do something with some of those blocks…

Let’s Make Some Moonlight Blocks
I jumped right in and got six blocks made for the Halloween Memories sew-along. I am getting into the swing of it and am having fun so far. It took as long to get organized as it will to make the blocks. Just kidding, sorta. I am getting faster at it. I grab one of…

New Project: Halloween Memories, Moonlight
Well, I don't know what I was thinking. I have a lot of works in progress and UFOs at the moment, so starting in on a complicated new project doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I even had to purchase a bunch of fabric for this one, which is even more impulsive. But, here…

Back in the Saddle…Again
I got back up in the sewing room and let me tell you: I have plans. Mercantile blocks need to be trimmed and sewn together. That project is on hold until I receive the additional backing fabric required for my setting triangles. So I decided to work on the first of my three summery projects,…

Patchwork Star
This cute block is called Patchwork Star and is one of the last five blocks in the Mercantile sew-along, hosted by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. I am enjoying making the blocks and think the quilt is going to be lovely, but to be honest, I am looking forward to having the sew-along…

Hourglass Block of the Month from The Quilt Spot
I have not shared much about this block-of-the-month program, because I haven't been working on it. I signed up a year ago and the 11th month just arrived yesterday. The box where I was storing the monthly packages was getting full, so I opened it up yesterday and decided it was time to start in…
