It’s All About the Green
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. I was rummaging through my older patterns yesterday for ideas on what to do with that yummy stack of green fabrics I bought from Shabby Fabrics. I had stars in my mind, mainly because I had dreamed about making a star-themed quilt with the fabrics. However, when I…

Lucky Charms
Just look at this gorgeous fabric! It is called Lucky Charms and is by Andover Fabrics. It isn't easy to find a collection of such great greens, so I am super happy to have bought it. I have no idea what I'll make with it, but there are 24 fat quarters, so I think I'll…

Sewcialites 2 Progress
These are the first 12 blocks I've made in the Sewcialites 2 sew-along. I think I swapped out one block I didn't like with a different 9-inch quilt block pattern. Middle row, last on the right I think. I am using the Flower Pot collection by Lella Boutique for Moda. The navy blue colorway in…

Storing Patterns in Binders
A couple of you asked me about how I store my patterns in binders. It all started with the first Sewcialites Sew Along. Fat Quarter Shop offered a Sewcialites binder for storing all the printed free patterns for the project. I loved the idea and bought it. I've been storing recipes that I print off…

Not Much Sewing, Some Reading
I don't have much to share this week, sadly. My work assignments have been taking up all my time, so there hasn't been much sewing. I did finish a Designer Mystery block, but that is all I've managed. I am listening to an excellent audiobook. Dominicana by Angie Cruz is a backlist title from 2019…
