Simple Granny, All But Borders
Simple Granny is a finish! ABD (all but borders). I love the pure saturated colors of the fabric collection I used–Fancy by Lily Ashbury. I want to use one of the larger prints in the line for the outer border, but am undecided as to which color to go with. Help me out–The large…

Looking Glass, A Finish
I managed to finish Looking Glass, but not get a very good picture of it. Looking Glass is a pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. The fabric I used was mostly Old Glory Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings, but I tossed in some Minick and Simpson, French General and odd pieces from my…

The Block Tool
When I was trying to select a category for the post I was in a quandary. "Books"? "Blocks"? "Tools"? The little fan of wonderfulness above is all of those things. The pages are laminated and double sided, and contain instructions for making 102 rotary cut quilt blocks in 5 different sizes, from 3" on up.…

Flip Flop
Flip Flop. I can't decide which project I want to work on, so I am working on both! They could not be more different, but I love them both. After the day our family had Tuesday, I found immersing myself in sewing to be very therapeutic. I had the day off and spent every minute…

Do You Believe in Guardian Angels?
Well, I can tell you that my hair is now completely white. My daughter was in an automobile accident Tuesday morning and this is how she ended up. Poor little Remy was with her, not harnessed, and experienced quite a tumble around in that car. And both of them emerged from the car unscathed, physically…

Indecision in the Sewing Room
I am itching to start a new project, and I had it in mind that I would get back to my simplified Granny Square blocks. But then…. I was reading the blogs in my blog feed and found a recent post by the folks at Primitive Gatherings. You may or may not know that…

Looking Glass: All But Borders
Looking Glass, a pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company is nearly a finish. ABD (all but borders). And the border on this quilt is scrappy and will be super fun to piece, so that won't be long in the works. Loved how quickly and easily this top came together. I was going to say…

Mirror Mirror, On the Wall
Looking Glass is coming along great. Only one more row, then the borders. If I hadn't been called away on a pool play date, I know I would have finished the main body of the top yesterday. But after all, it is summer, and there are fun things to be done outside. We had such…

Building Blocks
I thought some of you might be interested in how this quilt comes together. I am working on Looking Glass, a Miss Rosie pattern. When I studied the pattern photo, I had a difficult time picturing how this top was going to be assembled. Basically, there are two blocks that make up the quilt. A…

Instagram Inspiration
Do you browse Instagram and Pinterest? I have heard those sites are overtaking blogging in popularity and are a great source of information and inspiration. Being a wordy sort of person, I will never give up blogging, as I like to write too much. I do however, love to see what's going on with folks…
