New Pressing Tool
I wanted to share a new pressing tool that I got recently that has revolutionized my open-seam pressing game. This is called the 12" Wooly Pressing Bar, and so far, to me, it is worth the $30 price tag. This is the inside anatomy of the pressing bar. It is a curved piece of wood…

Bring On the Fall Decorations
Not much sewing going on this week. I need some medical tests and procedures, so we've been traveling to the Bay Area to see doctors. Hopefully, I can get sorted out quickly and get back to my sewing. At least we found a pet-friendly hotel, so when we stay over Archie can be with us.…

Idea to Combine Two Quilts
Thanks for all your suggestions on what I should do with my Piece and Quilt blocks. I am pretty discouraged with that project and do not feel the excitement and joy I did when I started it. I have decided to put it away for now. I will do something with some of those blocks…

Re-Doing Blocks
AFTER I didn't do a lot of sewing over the weekend. I was reading some really engrossing books and found that all I wanted to do was sit outside on the back porch and read. I can't wait to tell you about them! Last Friday, I returned to the Piece and Quilt project, because I…

Catching Up on Piece and Quilt Blocks and Red Sampler Quilted
I thought it was time to get back to my August Piece and Quilt blocks while it is still August. I am quite happy with these two blocks. The red one is Maple Leaf and the blue and grey one is Texas Puzzle. I've laid the blocks out as they will be positioned in the…

Let’s Make Some Moonlight Blocks
I jumped right in and got six blocks made for the Halloween Memories sew-along. I am getting into the swing of it and am having fun so far. It took as long to get organized as it will to make the blocks. Just kidding, sorta. I am getting faster at it. I grab one of…

New Project: Halloween Memories, Moonlight
Well, I don't know what I was thinking. I have a lot of works in progress and UFOs at the moment, so starting in on a complicated new project doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I even had to purchase a bunch of fabric for this one, which is even more impulsive. But, here…

Spooky and Sweet Witchy Little Ghost
Isn't she cute? This is the first block in the Spooky and Sweet Halloween Mystery sew along Fat Quarter Shop did a month or so ago. I like to know how my mystery projects end up before I plunge in and I thought this was a pretty fun Halloween project. I have to tell you…

Designer Mystery 2023 Finished—On To Something Else!
Designer Mystery 2023 is finished. Honestly, it took hours to get all the borders on this quilt, and I felt like I was wrestling with a circus tent the whole time, but I got it done. I think those large blue areas will be pretty when they are quilted. I have the quilt turned sideways…

Designer Mystery 2023-All But Borders
It's great to see this quilt taking shape on the design wall. I have made the lattices that separate the rows but haven't attached them all yet. I have the units for the pieced sides, top and bottom borders all made and ready to piece and attach. After that, the last step is to attach…
