Round Robin, Gifted
I ended up gifting my little Round Robin table topper to my son in law, the winemaker. He really seems to appreciate my efforts, and it pleases me to see that he uses the little table toppers and other seasonal quilts I give him. So, that seemed to be a win/win kind of deal. He…

Scarlet Stars
Here is another sweet mini quilt designed by Kim Diehl. This is Scarlet Stars, which was an offering in the Simple Whatnots Club, season 3. It finishes at around 16 1/2 inches, and will be a terrific addition to the my decor in February. I was sorting through my Kim Diehl fabric stash and came…

Farmstead Game Board
I have definitely been on a mini quilt kick lately, particularly Kim Diehl mini quilts. And imagine how excited I was to discover this FREE pattern by her on the Henry Glass Fabric blog! You can make this sweet little table topper in just a few hours. It ends up being about 14 1/2" square.…

New House Construction
No, not a real house. We got Eva a Gingerbread House kit and had a frustrating, but ultimately fun experience building it and getting it decorated. I picked up the kit Saturday at Joann's for next to nothing (coupon) and we got right to building it when we got home. Oh my goodness, did we…

Friendship Star Blocks
How cute is this little mini quilt? The measurements at this point are 19" x 28'. There will be one last narrow border of one of the black prints, but it hasn't arrived yet. I found someone on Etsy who was selling some of this Kathy Schmitz Round Robin fabric, which has been out since…

Pretty Much a Perfect Day
Yesterday was pretty much my idea of a perfect day. I finished up my little friendship blocks, and will sew them together today after I switch out a block or two that I don't like. There will be a sweet little pieced border on this, and a final outer border. I am thinking it will…

Still Taking it Easy
I am so much better! The medicine is working wonderfully to reduce my gout symptoms, but I spent one more day resting up. I think tomorrow I will be able to wear my shoes and go about my regular business. Thanks so much for all your wishes for my recovery. They must be working! I…

Gout Update
How perfect is this cartoon for my current circumstances? I did see a doctor yesterday and got a prescription for anti-inflammatory medicine, which I am happy to say seems to be working. Yesterday all I did was lie on my sofa reading books with my foot propped up in the air. While the condition can…

Pineapples!
I had so much fun making these 6 1/2 inch Pineapple blocks with the Creative Grids ruler. The blocks came out so perfect. I'd love an entire quilt of these little blocks. I have to say, I think a whole quilt would take a ton of fabric. What a stash buster though. In other…

Mini Pineapple Blocks
Aren't these mini Pineapple Blocks the cutest things ever? I was totally inspired by a block Thelma made and posted on Instagram. She is making an epic Jen Kingwell sampler quilt, and one of the blocks in the quilt consists of nine mini Pineapple Blocks. Seriously, go check out Thelma's picture of it on Instagram.…
