S’Mores Quilt Top is Together!
I am so happy with this little quilt. I do have the top together, but I ran out of time yesterday. I still need to attach the corner squares and trim the quilt edges to be square. I will share a full size picture when I get that accomplished. I won't lie, sewing these lattices…

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…

Double Nine Patch is a Finish
Honestly, I was not sure how much I was loving this quilt until I took all the dark brown nine patches out. Then it changed for me. It suddenly coordinated better with the border fabric I had on hand, and was just more pleasing to my eye. All the un-sewing I did on Sunday was…

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…

Endearments
I can't tell you how much I love this little quilt!! It is "Endearments" by Betsy Chutchian, made with her fabric collection Rachel Remembered. The finished quilt measures 29 3/8" square, and has a Memorial Day/Fourth of July vibe to it. I can see keeping this out on my dining table from May through September.…

Windmills, All But Borders
I have held fast to my resolve to get some quilt tops finished, and here is Windmills, All But Borders. It took all day yesterday to sew the blocks and rows together, and today my plan is to attach the outer borders. I am thinking a narrow red containment border and a dark brown outer…

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…

Windmills Blocks Finished
I have finished the 169 pinwheel and hourglass blocks for the Windmills quilt. 85 pinwheels and 84 hourglass blocks. And a mess of flying geese for the border, but I didn't count them. The original pattern that inspired me is called Windmills and is designed by Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline Quilts. I kept the block size…

Windmills Evolving
Well, this has been a process, I tell you. I cannot recall when I have struggled and had to dig so deep to come up with an alternate setting arrangement for a quilt! To refresh your memory, this is what the pattern looks like: Super scrappy. Great for a collection of random scraps, but I…

Blueberry “Crack”
The proper name for this recipe is Blueberry French Toast. It is nothing at all like French Toast, however. I would say it is more of a Blueberry Bread Pudding. Nevertheless, the thing is so good that the family refers to it as "Blueberry Crack", because it is so good you just can't stop eating…
