What Exactly Was I Doing With This?
Well, this would be a one block quilt that I started over a year ago, packed up into a project box and put away in the closet. As you see, I had made a bunch of blocks. I certainly had cut out a lot of strips. But where were the instructions? Was the block from…

Productive Weekend
I did not set foot outside my house for the past three days, and got a lot of sewing done! My husband being glued to the tv watching various football games also helped my productivity level. What have I been working on? Well, a couple of things. My main sewing project is First Flake in…

Bindings and Buns
I think I will be hand sewing bindings on for the next little while. I was so provoked that I did not have enough of the dark green border fabric for the binding on the Corn and Beans quilt. It was a little kit, and you would think they would have included that fabric in…

Dazed and Confused
Oh boy. This quilt has been a process I tell you. I started it one, maybe two years ago and it has had me scratching my head from the get go. The instructions are fine. It is just me being super confused about the diagonal layout and frustrated by my choices of fabrics. It is…

Stars and Baskets Christmas Quilt Setting
I am making a lot of flying geese. A lot. You see 140 of them in the photo above, and I have at least that many more to make. I absolutely love this setting, which makes the quilt as far as I am concerned. It ties all the different blocks together cohesively in a beautifully…

Aurora Coming Together
I was running out of room on my design wall, so I decided to start sewing my Aurora stars together so I could fit more on the wall. I cannot tell you how much I am in love with this quilt. The stars are precious, and exactly the right size. It is completely worth the…

Sewing Blahs
I am kind of stalled out on this project, to tell you the truth. Not long ago, I finished a Double Nine Patch quilt that called for many nine patch blocks, and it was probably not the best idea to start another project involving nine patch blocks so soon. I have really been putting off…

This Is Going to Take a While.
Hope this photo doesn't make anybody dizzy. I have all the blocks made for the Jo Morton S'mores quilt–I believe there are 113 square in a square blocks and 28 pieced setting triangles, and 4 pieced corner triangles. I think I am going to love this quilt when I get it put together, but the…

Catching Up With UFOs
All the blocks for the Double Nine Patch quilt are finished. In fact there are enough blocks leftover to make another half a quilt because I took out all the dark brown fabrics. This involved a lot of ripping, but I decided I just didn't like the look of the dark brown nine patches. Now…

Time to Fish or Cut Bait
Before I fish or cut bait, I just want to let you know everyone is doing better. Ozzie is almost himself again, Eva's wrist is pretty good, and my dad continues to think his eye is getting back to normal. Thanks for all your kind wishes! So, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have…
