More Sewing and Good News
My sewing was a bit hit or miss this past weekend, but I did get the borders on Base Camp. I think this is a fun quick project for a fall table runner. The pattern is called Base Camp and is by Sweetwater. The pattern is for a quilt, but I adapted it for the…

A Bit of This and a Bit of That
Today's post is a mish mash of various things I have been fiddling with lately. I did get my Base Camp blocks together for this fun fall table runner. I do think I need to add a narrow border of the background all around to make it look more finished. No problem, if I can…

Cabins in the Woods
I've been having fun this week making these easy house and tree blocks. This project is enjoyable and fast and I can't wait to get the blocks together for a seasonal table runner for late summer and early fall. I have a hall table that will be the perfect spot for this directional runner. The…

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…

Re-Doing Blocks

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…

Posy Blocks Coming Along Slowly
The Flea Market posy blocks are coming along. Very slowly. I am completing one in about 20 minutes, which is faster than I was when I first started making them. You can really drag out the time it takes to make a block when you press seams open and trim your units constantly. They are…

Flea Market Is Back on the Design Board
With all the talk about Lori Holt projects yesterday I thought I had better get with the program and actually finish one. I brought Flea Market out and put it up on the design wall to see where I am with it. At this point, the next step is to put on a narrow dark…

Going into the weekend I thought I would share with you a few things I worked on this week and a couple of great books I am enjoying. This quilt block is the 9th in the Moda Blockheads5 sew-along. It is called Candy Stripe Holly Star or some such thing, but I call it Day…
