A Dozen Sew Alongs You Might Love
This post is going to be full of information. I will provide lots of links to a plethora of fantastic sew alongs that you could stitch happily along with while you are "sheltering in place". If we are all stuck at home, we could at least have something to show for it at the end,…

Can I Keep Up?
These are the five days of blocks I have made for the Laundry Basket Mystery Sew Along. 36 blocks in five days. This sew along is intense, I tell you. Honestly, I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with eight new blocks a day. And that is ok. I am…

Laundry Basket Quilts Mystery Sew Along
Edyta of Laundry Basket Quilts is doing a really fun mystery sew along. I am usually leary of mystery quilts, but decided to give this one a go. I am really pleased with the blocks so far, and what I especially like is that she shows you the block layout with each addition. Now, this…

Moda Blockheads 3, Week 2
I am so darned excited about this sew along, only two weeks into it. I like the block designs that have been posted, but I especially love my fabric choice. I have cracked into my fat eighth bundle of 3 Sisters Holly Berry collection, but I have other coordinating collections on hand that I can…

Let’s Get Back in the Sewing Room, Shall We?
It's been a minute since I have done in sewing, but after a few days without power, I thought I should be more grateful for my electricity and actually use it. I got up to the sewing room yesterday and brought out an unlabeled project that I started back in May. Five months ago. When…

One Block Progress
I've got a couple dozen of these blocks done so far, and am pleased with the ease at which they can be turned out. I have put my iron right next to my sewing machine so I can avoid getting up to the pressing station, which saves time and steps. I have been cutting out…

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…
