Designer Mystery 2023 Coming Together
I've got to say I'm not mad about how this is coming together. Nine blocks done, and the end is in sight. I easily finished three blocks including the block surrounds yesterday. If the stars align, I hope to repeat that again today and get all twelve of these blocks done. Having the units ready…

Designer Mystery 2023 Back on the Design Wall
My next Finish It project is the Designer Mystery 2023 block of the month sew-along. At first, I wasn't sure I loved the dark blue background in the setting, but I have to admit, now I think it is pretty spectacular. The setting really sets off those blocks and is so different from what you…

Petit Four and Christmas Kites
I am happy to report that my Petit Four quilt is a finish. I won't lie, I sure did use my seam ripper a lot on this one. I must have sewn those Snail Trail blocks every possible orientation until I got them right. If you think I got any of them turned wrong, just…

Star of Wonder Block One
Hello there. This would be Star of Wonder, block one. It didn't take long to make, which was good because I had a busy Monday. I got together with my family in the Bay Area on Sunday and spent the night at my sister Kate's. We had not gotten together in ages. I had not…

Mini Donuts table runner is finally bound and on my dining table while it is still officially summer! This Mini Donuts pattern is one by The Pattern Basket. The pattern is for a bigger quilt, but I just made a table runner with the blocks. It was fun to make with various Lori Holt fabric…

Books of July 2024
This was a month for super long books! I may not have read as many books as usual in the month of July, but I did read some excellent ones. I read 9 books, and got through 500 pages of another one that I quit reading halfway through. I've decided the world does not need…
