Moda Blockheads Update and More
I was playing around in the sewing room on Saturday, and decided to add another appliqué block to my Moda Blockheads collection. For the setting I am thinking of, I may need some extra blocks. I have been having so much fun with the appliqué blocks, I thought one more might be just the thing.…

I Gave It Away
Seven tubs of fabric. Fat quarters, partially finished quilt tops, scraps, larger cuts…Seven.Tubs. Not all the greatest selection. Lots of weird light background prints I will never use, plus some larger cuts that seemed kind of dated or just were not to my taste anymore. But for someone who does charity quilts they might be…

Book Reviews for Spring and Summer
I've been enjoying a change in the weather, and it seems the perfect way to do that is to put on a cozy sweater and curl up with a book. I've read a ton of books since I last posted a book review, and most of them have been kind of "meh". On a scale…

Mini Oak Patch Quilt
This is my completed Oak Patch variation quilt. The pattern is by Kim Diehl from the book Simple Friendships, a collaboration by Kim and Jo Morton. I recommend the book, which has recently been published. It is full of patterns I would love to make, not all of them involving appliqué. I wish I didn't…

What Was I Going To Do With All These Nine Patches?
I must have made all these 9 patch blocks for a reason, right? Then I took a blogging/sewing break, spent hours with Eva at the pool, and went to Ireland and England to visit my son, and completely forgot what the heck the point of these blocks was. Do you ever do that? Well, I'm…

Cheep Cheep
This is Moda Blockheads block #28, designed by Jan Patek. It looks better from a distance, but all in all, I think it is pretty cute. I added a little birdie for extra interest. I haven't gotten much sewing done this week, alas. I was out of town having medical appointments early in the…

Highgate Cemetery
I am off to the Bay Area for my annual physical, so I won't be sewing for a couple of days. I thought I would share with you a few photos of Highgate Cemetery, in London. It is a cemetery which was designed in Victorian times, and the style of the grave monuments is simply…

Blissful Weekend of Sewing
What a wonderful peaceful weekend I had! On Saturday I got three more ModaBlockheads blocks done. You will notice one of them is a remake. I ended up remaking the block on the right with a darker background. I was going to try tea dying the lighter background one, but wasn't sure if after a…

Getting Caught Up
I spent my days off this week trying to get caught up with my Moda BlockHeads sew along blocks. I am still short two blocks, but with any luck will crank them out this weekend. These blocks are all so different. I am having a hard time envisioning them in a setting that makes sense.…
