Got Reds?
Have you heard about the Red and White Snowball Challenge? Some of us are going to make a quilt from the Evelyn Sloppy book 40 Fabulous Quick Cut Quilts, called "Leftovers Again?". It is the most perfect stash reduction quilt you ever saw. You can make it in one color (plus lights) or go wild…

Leftovers Again? Challenge
What do you think? Like the looks of this quilt? Me too. Would you like one of your own? Yup, me too. Allyson of Fat Cat Quilts took this picture while she was on a recent road trip through Utah. Of course she stopped at all the quilt shops, and this was one of many…

Patchwork
getty images Hey, Quilters! Isn't this a fun image for fall? Does the season influence the fabrics you choose to work with? Have you ever made a fall leaf quilt? I have made a couple of them. My first effort was quite exciting for me. I made it 15 years ago or so, after a…

My Room Mate is a Big Pest
I am trying to get some sewing done here. I have my little Birdseye Star Block units all cut out and ready to sew together. I have time, I am organized and prepared, and there is nothing stopping me. Except for this little devil, who is bored and wants my attention. Who is going through…

I Love These Blocks
You would laugh if you could see me doing my little happy dance. I love these blocks. Each one is unique and so much fun to put together. I have seven done, out of 24 (or is it 25?). If I make six a day, this Birdseye quilt will be a reality in no time. …

Birdseye Smirdseye
I woke up this morning with the beginnings of a little cold or virus or something. Achey, snozzley, big cold sore on the lip. A perfect day to make a pot of tea and call in sick. Sick, but not too sick to work on a certain sewing project. Heh heh heh. I emailed the…

Nine Patch Weekend
Yes, it was a nine patch weekend. I am working on Miss Rosie's pattern "Birdseye", and needed to make 121 nine patch blocks. Since you need the nine patch units for the two other main blocks featured in the quilt, as Carrie says "You just might as well get it over with". It wasn't so…

Weekly Progress Report
Thank you all so much for your suggestions on whether or not I should go for both the blues and browns in my next Raise the Roof quilt project, or just stick with one color or the other. Overwhelmingly, you said use both. So I will! I haven't started cutting it out yet–figured I needed…

Vicksburg
I was rummaging around in the stash closet and found this little bundle of beautiful blue fabrics my son Ahren had bought for me when he was at JJStitches in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin last January. I had completely forgotten about them, and was thrilled when they turned up. Vicksburg by Judie Rothermel. Gosh, that sounded…
