How Nice It Is To Sew
What a nice week this has been to get caught up on my several sewing projects. The two blocks in the photo above are for the Midnight Moon sew-along. Nothing like a Halloween quilt to pick up one's spirits. Isn't that apple green color divine? It is the perfect accent to a quilt with black…

Putting a Quilt Top Together
This week I am focusing on putting a quilt top together. This quilt is "Peace and Healing" by Piecing the Past Quilts. The sew-along started this spring and each week I received the patterns for three or four blocks. The patterns were free at the time, but you can purchase all of them now for…

Just Get It Done
I have two gorgeous quilts that I got back from my quilter, two, maybe three years ago. And I haven't used them. Why? Because I am too d%*n lazy to hand sew the binding down. I have been making mug rugs for friends and family this year, and have gotten lots of practice machine sewing…

So I Made a Pie
I am staying with my dad a few extra days this week. One of my sisters is moving into a new house and my other sister and I are covering for her while she gets settled in. I am always trying to come up with menu ideas that appeal to my dad. He has a…

Do Not Buy This Iron
Do not waste your money on this Rowenta DW9280 iron. My husband spent over $150 on it and gave it to me for Christmas to use for my quilting. From the start, it was a leaky mess. I tried for around 4 months to make it work, but it was truly the worst iron I…

Escape From the Heat
We decided to get out of Dodge and head up into the mountains to escape the heat. We had planned a little getaway for the first couple of days this week, but at the last minute changed the location of our destination to a cooler place. The temperatures hit the triple digits this past weekend…

Blockheads 4 All Caught Up
No time to sew yesterday, but at about 4:15 I ran upstairs and got these two easy Blockheads blocks done in an hour. That wasn't amazing, they were pretty simple to piece. Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts showed her planned layout on her blog yesterday, and I really like it. The only thing is, it…

Rollin’ Along: It’s Official- I’m in Love
I can't tell you how much I am loving working with this fabric. "Cozy Up" by Corey Yoder. It is so cheerful, yet has a late summer/fallish vibe, that is right up my alley. And what's not to love about a granny block? Or in this case, a Great Granny Block. This large 17 1/2…

Midnight Moon Catch Up
Yesterday I did get caught up in the Midnight Moon sew-along. I knew I had weeks 10 and 11 to do, but discovered I had somehow skipped week 7, All good now, all done. That star block in the middle of the upper row? I did that three times. I just could not get the…

Catch Up Day
When you have multiple sew-alongs going on, it is easy to fall behind. And that is what is happening to me at the moment. Not too badly, but enough so that I plan to spend today catching up on several of the sew-alongs I am participating in. First up is Midnight Moon, a sew-along based…
