Not much sewing going on this week. I wish I had an interesting excuse for not posting much, but I don't, other than we are trying to get into our summer routine of swim team practice, play dates, etc. I did get the Moda Blockheads 4 block finished. When set straight, it is supposed to…

Guess What? Problem Solved.
Well, I made a happy discovery yesterday. I was looking at the "Rollin' Along" book featuring the jelly roll quilt I want to make and took a closer look at the fabric used in the quilt. Hmmm, turns out it is a collection called Cozy Up by Corey Yoder. Which I happen to have a…

Rollin’ Along Book and Sew Along
I picked up this recently published book, Rollin' Along by Moda Bake Shop that features quilts made from Jelly Rolls. Then I found out Moda Bake Shop is going to do a sew-along for one of the quilts in the book. The quilt is called Family Reunion and showcases one of my favorite blocks, the…

May Book Reviews Part Two
Here we go, May book reviews continued! Have I ever got some good ones for you. The Change by Kirsten Miller is a feminist revenge fantasy, not a favorite genre for me. I recently read another book with this theme called The Collective by Alison Gaylin, which I pretty much hated. The Change was a…

Eva is really into making smoothies these days. And they are a delightful treat on a warm afternoon. This one was strawberries, bananas,…

Christmas Among the Stars Again Quilt Finished!
Woohoo! I am doing a happy dance over here because I finished a full-sized quilt! It is Christmas Among the Stars Again, which was a Block of the Month project from a Just Sew Emma book published by Fat Quarter Shop. As a matter of fact, if you think you want to make this fun…

Among the Stars Again Border
I finished the border units for the Among the Stars Again quilt. The piecing was kind of repetitive, but once it is on the quilt, I can tell it is going to be striking. The colors in the quilt are kind of subtle for a Christmas quilt, and this red and white border will really…

I Am Sew TIred
I was in a scramble yesterday to mail off a box to my quilter. I got the borders on two quilts, and backings pieced. I decided last minute to add in two table runners, which needed finishing. The acorn one is pretty darn cute I think and will look super on my dining table in…
