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…

Sewcialites 2 Quilt Along
This is my latest fabric acquisition, Buttercup and Slate by Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts. It was hard to justify the purchase when I have a closet bulging with fabric, but I did it anyway. My bedroom has green walls and a quilt with green in it looks ever so nice there. I've purchased a…

Some Sewing Is Happening
I'm not getting a lot done, but I find if I get up to the sewing room super early, like between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM, I can get a thing or two accomplished. The block above is for Moda Blockheads 4, and is from a previous sew-along I did with Piecing the Past. I…

Showing Moda Blockheads 4 Some Love
Now that the red white and blue blocks are off the design wall, I have room to put another sew-along's blocks up so I can look at them. And wouldn't you know, once they were all up there, I saw four or five that I just didn't like. It just goes to show that it…

Putting Midnight Moon Away For Awhile
Midnight Moon is a sew-along I have joined where we make blocks in Halloween fabrics from Carrie Nelson's great book "Summer Moon". In the book, the instructions call for making each of the 28 or 30 blocks in THREE different sizes. The blocks are then framed with half square triangles for the very unique setting.…

Two Midnight Moon Blocks Done
Sadly, I did not accomplish as much yesterday as I had hoped. I wanted to make four blocks and finish up the Midnight Moon blocks and set them aside for a while. Life got in the way and I only finished two. Actually, work got in the way. I am trying to work ahead a…

How Nice It Is To Sew
What a nice week this has been to get caught up on my several sewing projects. The two blocks in the photo above are for the Midnight Moon sew-along. Nothing like a Halloween quilt to pick up one's spirits. Isn't that apple green color divine? It is the perfect accent to a quilt with black…

Putting a Quilt Top Together
This week I am focusing on putting a quilt top together. This quilt is "Peace and Healing" by Piecing the Past Quilts. The sew-along started this spring and each week I received the patterns for three or four blocks. The patterns were free at the time, but you can purchase all of them now for…

Midnight Moon Catch Up
Yesterday I did get caught up in the Midnight Moon sew-along. I knew I had weeks 10 and 11 to do, but discovered I had somehow skipped week 7, All good now, all done. That star block in the middle of the upper row? I did that three times. I just could not get the…

Catch Up Day
When you have multiple sew-alongs going on, it is easy to fall behind. And that is what is happening to me at the moment. Not too badly, but enough so that I plan to spend today catching up on several of the sew-alongs I am participating in. First up is Midnight Moon, a sew-along based…
