Don’t Fence Me In – Finished
Well, I did it. Here is "Don't Fence Me In", an old pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, made with a collection of fabrics by Andover called "Lucky Charms". I am super pleased with how it turned out and will order backing for it and get it sent off for quilting. It will be fun…

Sewcialites: End of the Tunnel
The Sewcialites block of the week sew-along will be over before I know it. We have made 19 blocks so far into the sew-along and there will be a total of 24. I've made a couple of extra blocks along the way in case some come up that I am not overly fond of. When…

Spirals Quilting Design Pattern
Sometimes being a blogger has some real advantages. I posted a photo last week of my most recently finished table topper, a pattern by Carried Away called Summer Breeze. The pattern is wonderful, but the design my quilter chose for the quilting really set off the design and was so in keeping with the breezy…

Summer Breeze-Let’s Get The Binding Done
Can we just take a minute and admire the quilting on this little 26" square piece? The quilt is Summer Breeze by Carried Away. I do not know the name of the swirly quilting design, but it could not be a more perfect choice. My plan is to use this in my kitchen during spring…

Grain: a Small Table Topper for St. Patrick’s Day
I am quite tickled with how this little table topper turned out. I used every smidgen of the Lucky Charms leftovers from the Don't Fence Me In rail fence quilt top. Which I still don't have sewn together. Quilting this project myself is not in the cards, so I will be sending this out to…

Snow Day Tea Party
Eva had no school yesterday due to it being declared a "Snow Day". Many people who live at a higher elevation from us got tons of snow and were not able to get out of their driveways or get through the icy/snowy roads, so school was canceled. If the teachers and kids can't get there…

Don’t Fence Me In Finished Blocks
"Don't Fence Me In", a pattern by Carrie Nelson/Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Fabric is Lucky Charms by Andover Fabrics. I finished my 81 blocks! These blocks are so fast and easy and I highly recommend this block for a scrappy quilt in just about any colorway. I hope to sew all the blocks together this…

Sewcialites Block 17
This is "Simplicity", Sewcialites Block 17, designed by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. That is her photo above of the two blocks she made using her gorgeous Love Note fabrics. I didn't think this block would work in the style of quilt I am planning, so I decided to skip it. I was going to…

This Is So Much Fun
I spent much of the day yesterday waiting for promised snow (that never arrived) and sewing blocks for the Don't Fence Me In quilt. These blocks are fun, and I enjoy making them. I am afraid I am going to run out of light fabric though. I have to think this through and see if…

Sewcialites Blocks 14, 15, and 16
I let myself fall behind in the Sewcialites sew along and played catch up this past Saturday. Blocks 14 and 15 were the easiest ever, but 16 took some time. I am happy with how it turned out in spite of all the pieces and points to match up. Surprisingly, it was the easier block,…
