Finally, Three Quilts Ready To Send To My Quilter!
I know most of you have seen these quilts (all but borders), but I am showing them once more to prove I actually got the borders on at last. They will be mailed off to the quilter today. The first quilt is Sewcialites, a free sew along sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop last year.…

Whirlwind Weekend
What a productive and fun weekend we had! We squeezed in a fun visit with family, some great shopping, and then I even had a day to do some sewing. The blocks above are part of the Piecing the Past Peace and Healing Sew Along. I think they are perfect blocks for a diagonal quilt…

June Mug Rugs
The June blocks for the Mug Rug of the Month Club are done. Clearly, with all the things on my "To Do" list, they didn't take long. There was some confusion on my part when I got to the top of the strawberry unit, but I worked it out eventually. The pattern is Strawberry Social…

Home Projects and End of the School Year Business
Sorry to drop out of sight on you. Between end of the year school activities, work deadlines, and some home projects, I have been overcommitted the past week or so. No time to sew, no time to blog. Nothing to blog about! Unless you want to hear about how I did a massive reorganization of…

Current Favorite Sewing Tools
I thought it might be fun to talk about some quilting/sewing tools I have been using lately. I truly believe they are responsible for making my sewing more accurate. First up is starch. I buy it by the half dozen cans or more at Walmart, where I have found the best prices. If you haven't…

Three Days of Sewing
I have to say the blocks for the Piecing the Past "Peace and Healing" sew along are getting more interesting. And more complicated! I was worried at first at how simple some of the blocks were, but things are picking up nicely in terms of difficulty. I've made 17 blocks so far and have a…

Peace and Healing
Peace and Healing is the name of a free sew-along, not my present state of mind. Although, who couldn't use a little peace and healing most days? Piecing the Past Quilts almost always has one or more free sew-alongs going on. I have done a few of them and really enjoyed them. Since they are…

Having the Right Tools for the Job
Well, I did it. I spent another $100 on an iron. As far as I am concerned I will never bring another Rowenta into the house. They have disappointed me hugely over the years with their awful leaking, so no more. I had just about made up my mind to get a cheap iron and…

Moda Blockheads 4 (with changes) and Current Books
This is the latest block in the Moda Blockheads 4 sew-along. Block 8, "Wild Geese", designed by Kate Spain. It was supposed to be all half-square triangles, but that was too many seams for me. I changed it up and made flying geese units instead. For the 9" block, my sewing units were one 3…

Moda Blockheads Progress
These are the latest two blocks in the Moda Block Heads 4 sew along. Both were designed by Lisa Bongean. The block on the left was supposed to have a nine patch center. I made it originally for the block on the right, but decided it was too much navy for one block. So I…
