APQ Four Patch Sew Along
Finally. My grocery store received the April issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. Everyone on the internet and Instagram has been buzzing about the 2015 Four Patch Sew Along. I spent yesterday studying the magazine diligently and learning all about the three versions they show in the issue. I liked all the settings, but decided…

Next Up: Scrappy Trips UFO
I am farther along with this project than I realized. My Scrappy Trips Around the World quilt now is occupying the prime space on the large design wall. I couldn't leave things alone to be completely random. I decided to use red in each block for the longest diagonal line of squares. My reds vary…

Getting It Together
My Flowering Snowball quilt is a finish! It took no time at all to get the blocks finished and the rows sewn together. This will be a beautiful quilt for Eva to use on her bed this summer. She is thrilled with it, and immediately wanted to lie down under it to pretend it was…

It’s Flowering Snowballs
Woo hoo, I've made some progress with these Flowering Snowball blocks. I've decided to do one more row of six blocks, since I have the fabric to spare, and what's not to like about a longer quilt? Don't you love the secondary circular pattern these blocks make? I do enjoy the effects of curved piecing.…

New Little Table Mat and Strange Day
Here is my new little Kim DIehl mat on my coffee table. It is perfect for a pot of orchids, a candle, or a bowl of something. Loving it. What you can't see in the background is the Super Bowl going loud and strong. I had to work on Sunday, but got home just after…

Seeing Happy Stars
I am continuing to crank out Sawtooth Stars for the Barbara Brackman Sew Along. I have always loved Reproduction fabrics, as they work so well in my more traditional decorating style. However, in the past couple of years, I have been so attracted to the brighter colors that so many quilters are using. Supposedly that…

Flowering Snowballs and Kaffe Fasset
It has been so nice to have time to sew this week. Occupying space on my main design wall is the Flowering Snowball quilt I am making with Baycreek templates and Kaffe Fasset fabrics. I am so late to the party when it comes to Kaffe Fasset. Believe it or not, I had never bought…

What’s Not to Like?
This is another Kim Diehl project. I joined up for her Simple What Nots program again. This is Season Two, Month One. Those little hexies are appliqued on. I am such a klutz when ironing the applique pieces around the freezer paper shapes, and good grief, what a mess I make with the glue when…
