Rediscovering Quilts
Do you ever forget about quilts that you have made? I keep mine in my walk-in closet, on two high shelves. Since I need a ladder to get them on or off the shelves, I don't spend much time rummaging around looking at things. Typically I have a specific quilt in mind that I want…

Hardly a Spare Minute
It's been crazy busy around my house this week, because a certain young lady turned 11. Eva is staying with us for a few days and her birthday was yesterday. We packed the day with all sorts of activities. A shopping trip to a bookstore and local toy shop, out to lunch, home to do…

Do You Have Project Overload?
Do you have project overload? I've been thinking about how many concurrent quilting projects I have going on at the moment, and it's a lot. I know many of you are disciplined and just take on one quilting project at time. You work on it until it is finished without getting distracted by something new…

My Plan For the Day and I’m Sticking To It
My plan for the day is to finish up the Midnight Moon sew-along blocks. I believe to get caught up and finish, I need to make four blocks. I can listen to book review podcasts or my audio book and chill out. I am listening to a book by Janelle Brown called "I'll Be You"…

A Tip to Speed Up the Block Making Process
As shown in yesterday's post, I have been working on the Granny Square blocks for the Family Reunion sew-along from the Rollin' Along book. For my first block I got up and pressed my seams open for every single seam in those blocks. It took F.O.R.E.V.E.R. For my second block, I pulled out my old-fashioned…

Granny Quilt Blocks
There is just something so sweet about a Granny Square isn't there? The latest round of blocks for the Family Reunion sew-along by Moda Bake Shop are these 9-inch Grannies. The center medallion they called a Great Granny block, and it measures around 18" as I recall. The outer round of blocks will be much…

Mindless Sewing: A New Definition
My favorite stores are all having big sales right now. Nordstrom, Chicos, JJill, Talbots, prices are the lowest of the season as the stores clear out summer inventory to make room for new fall styles. I have become obsessed with Chicos lately. They are known for their no-iron shirts, great-fitting jeans, pizzazzy jewelry, and embellished…
