Summer Memories: Light at the end of the tunnel
Oh wow, here we are, nearly at the finish of the Summer Memories project designed by Susan Ache. I have the lattice all cut out and some of it assembled. It won't take long to get that done, and the outer border attached. It is indeed a light, summery quilt. I am so glad I…

The Stars Are Aligned
I think the stars must be in alignment for me this week. Now that my sewing room is all tidied, everything I work on is coming out great. I had another terrific day in the sewing room yesterday. I finished another Summer Memories block, which means I only have three more to go. Today I…

Major Tidy Accomplished and a Finished Project!
Opening Day, an older Miss Rosie pattern is now finished. You can find the pattern in Carrie Nelson's book "Miss Rosie's Farmhouse Favorites". I am so glad to get this off the design wall and move on to something else! It has been a UFO for over 12 years. Not sure what I'll do with…

This is called the Haunted Halloween Mystery sew-along, and the first free blocks came out this week, along with a YouTube video tutorial led by Kimberley. Check…

Artificial Intelligence
Well, I did it. I finished 12 basket blocks for Week 3 Summer Memories. I have to sew them into 3 finished blocks, which I hope to do today. I am a week behind, but I am going to have to just accept that and live with it. No problem, I've got all summer. I…

Dithering
I've been in a very dithery mood this week. Nothing holds my attention for long. I find myself torn between sewing a bit, reading a bit, going on an errand, and fretting about things that need to be done… I am sure you have all been there and can relate. I have a lot of…

Summer Memories Week 3
I am all ready to trim and press my half-square triangle units for Week 3 of the Summer Memories sew-along. A week behind, but I'll catch up. Only three blocks for Week 3, whew. What a beautiful weekend we had. I sat outside and read my book and loved all the fresh air and sunshine.…
