Don’t Fence Me In Block Progress
My sewing was a bit derailed last week, but I am making some progress on my Don't Fence Me In blocks. This is a really fun block to make and you can make a nice little stack of them in no time flat. I've been working assembly style, making the rail fence units first, then…

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. …

Don’t Fence Me In Quilt Pattern
Just a quick post today to show my pretty green rail fence blocks. The pattern is Don't Fence Me In by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. (I mistakenly called it Gazebo in an earlier post). The fabrics are called Lucky Charms, which I got online from Shabby Fabrics. I got all the fabric cut out and…

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…

Let’s Get This Done
I buckled down and finished making those darn square in a square blocks for the Family Reunion quilt. I then cut out the 7/8" wide lattice strips that separate them. I made good progress with those and hope to get this darn project done and off the design wall this week. Are you interested in…

Snowman Village Coming To Life
My snowman village is coming alive! I only finished two of the four snowman blocks yesterday, but the remaining two are ready to assemble. I think I will do little French knots for their eyes and mouths. Each block has two strips of trees and a snowman in a hat, scarf, or sweater. They are…

Weird Weather and Product Review
Honestly, we are getting some weird weather. It seems like a few weeks ago it was in the 90s. On Tuesday night it hailed, and then snowed! We might get snow at our altitude, but in early November it is pretty unheard of. And my goodness is it ever cold. Like you don't want to…

Too Many Projects?
I admit it, I have a few projects going on. For some reason, I have always loved doing multiple things at once. I typically am reading three books at a time, I can work and eat lunch at the same time, and I could do housework and fix dinner while nursing the baby. And as…

Family Reunion Progress
I have made some real progress with my Family Reunion quilt. I have one more round of blocks to make. The next round will be square in a square blocks that finish at a crazy size: 3 3/8". I wonder if I can use my 3 1/2" square in a square piecing papers and just…

Family Reunion Catch Up
I picked up this project again, which had been gathering dust on my smaller design wall. It is a Moda Bake Shop sew-along called Family Reunion. The pattern of the same name is in the Moda Bake Shop Rollin' Along quilt book. The Family Reunion pattern was designed by Christine Wald. There are some really…
