Getting Things Done
The school year is winding down with a bang rather than a whimper. Eva was in a school play over the weekend, which was jolly good fun. "The Enchanted Bookshop". She had two roles, Little Red Riding Hood and The Lady in Red. You can see her singing her little heart out on the right…

Busy Week, Busy Time of Year
Ok, so I am pretty sure this is the cutest mug rug I've ever made. I used an apple block pattern from one of Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage books. How adorable is the apple core block? This is teacher appreciation week and we wanted to give Miss Kelly a little token of our affection.…

Midnight Moon Week 4 and Laundry Love
These are the two latest blocks in the Midnight Moon Quilt Along. Bear's Tracks on the left and Buzzard's Roost on the right. Patterns are from the Summer Moon book by Carrie Nelson. An excellent book with over 30 quilt block patterns in three sizes. A great reference tool even if you aren't making the…

Christmas Among the Stars: Blocks Done!
I can't quite believe it, but I have finished all the blocks for the Christmas Among the Stars Again quilt!! It is a quilt-along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop and has been going on for 8 months. My Month 8 package of fabric is in the mail and will contain what I need for the…

Moda Blockheads 4, Block 6 and a Rowenta Iron Update
Yesterday Moda Blockheads 4 released their 6th block in the sew-along. This one is called Spinning Into Spring designed by Linzee McCray. It is the yellow and grey block on the left. A darker less busy grey print would show up the "spin" factor better, but I kind of like the subtle colors. Last week's…

Flea Market Quilt Along Baskets
I decided to forge ahead with my Flea Market quilt. There isn't much point in waiting for the next step in the sew-along, since not much is being posted about it. I have completed my basket blocks for April and May. I suppose I will keep going with them and perhaps wrap up this project…

Midnight Moon Week 3 and Massive Sewing Room Tidy
These are my Week 3 blocks for the Midnight Moon sew-along. They are called Hidden Star, made with Fat Quarter Shop's 3" Square in a Square foundation papers, and Pinwheel Geese made with my BlocLoc trim tool. For some reason, I could not find my 1 x 2" Flying Geese ruler and thought I had…

A New Storage Unit
Why is this man in my sewing room? It is my husband, who I finagled into putting together a new storage unit for me. I got the idea on Instagram from @hurricanereesequilty stitches (now that's a handle). It is a toy storage unit from IKEA called Trofast. It cost just less than $100 including the…

Lost My Mind and Found Another
You all are going to think I've lost my mind, but I have joined another sew-along. Moda Fabrics is hosting a sew-along called Midnight Moon, based on Carrie Nelson's book/sew-along "Summer Moon". I have always, always wanted to make that quilt, but never have. Mainly because the quilt calls for a tremendous amount of fabric…
