Happy Memorial Day
I hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying a beautiful Memorial Day. Wouldn't you know, after I got the notion last week to recover all the patio furniture cushions, we have had nothing but cool, overcast weather. There was even a hint that it could rain! So all my lovely new cushions are languishing…

Yesterday while I was at the UFO with my friends, two exciting things happened. One, I finished the blocks for my Two Color Challenge! Here you see my finished Union Square blocks. Keep in mind, that the completed quilt top will have alternate blocks of the red and white toile and a border made up…

Lots of Sewing Going On
As Ozzie may have mentioned, there has been a lot of sewing going on around here. As a matter of fact, I have barely had a minute when I wasn’t either sewing or cooking over the past four or five days. I will share some of my projects with you. My two color blocks are…

Tie Off Needles
Several of you have inquired about the "tie off" needles I mentioned in my last post. Here is a photo of the special needles I got for doing the tie offs on my blended neutrals quilt. You don’t have to thread them in the normal manner. You just kind of hook your thread around the…

Blended Neutrals Quilt
I got my Blended Neutrals quilt back from my quilter (Debbie at Prairiequeens) this week! She did a custom job for me and is it ever gorgeous. The quilting makes the quilt, as they always say. Here is a close up of one of the blocks. My photography does not do it justice, but you…

Web Sampler Alternate Blocks
I have been plugging away at my Web Sampler Challenge. In the photo above you see some of the blocks with the alternate blocks called for in the setting I chose. The construction of the alternate blocks was totally easy, and would have been considerably more so if the instructions had suggested speedier piecing methods,…

Web Sampler, Resurrected
Confession time. I was getting quite frustrated with the Web Sampler Challenge and closed up my project box and put it away. I was even considering dropping out of the Challenge I am doing with Perry, Cindy, Carol, and Lisa. Let me tell you why, and what happened to make me pick it up again.…
