Catch Up Day in the Sewing Room
Flea Market, the quilt-along that isn't. There don't seem to be too many of us working on this quilt-along, but I am almost caught up for April. I finished my center medallion and have finished two out of three basket blocks. The sponsors have kind of dropped the ball on this project, but there are…

Vacation Week and Easter
The family spent last week down in Palm Desert, having a wonderful time in the sun. Our daughter Sara and granddaughter Eva came with us. Besides celebrating Spring Break, my husband and I celebrated our anniversary. 53 years! We escaped a nasty cold spell at home and enjoyed temperatures in the 70s and 80s. There…

Pretty Little Baskets Table Topper
I am so pleased to have finished my Pretty Little Baskets Table Topper before Easter. I wasn't sure I could do it, but somehow it happened. I made four of the little basket blocks and sewed them together with two-inch lattices to put a little space between them. It just shows that if you put…

It’s Beginning to Look Like Easter Around Here
I brought out this mini quilt for the first time yesterday. I kind of did my own thing when I made it. The center bird is from a Pattern Baskets pattern called "Feathers". The surrounding stars are a block called "Twin Star" from an old Frivols project I had on hand. The fabrics are Strawberry…

April Mug Rugs
April Mug Rugs of the Month are almost done. I got them quilted and still need to attach the binding. With luck, I will get that done today or tomorrow. I am late with these and have half a notion to say they are April Easter baskets and May flower baskets combined, and save myself…

Gasp. She’s Going To Quilt It Herself…
Yikes. I wish I had more confidence when it comes to machine quilting. I can manage a small project most of the time, but I have a few sad efforts in the closet that I am not proud enough of to actually use. I am going to go with a diagonal grid design, with the…

April Mug Rugs in Progress
I will be slipping just under the wire with my April mug rugs. I gifted my daughter and three friends with the "Mug Rug of the Month" at Christmas. I have actually given them October through March so far. I thought these little baskets would be cute for Easter month. They could also work for…

Well, That Was Fun
The first Moda Blockheads 4 block was a winner! Lynne Hagemeier of Kansas Troubles designed this 9" block. I made it up using Fig Tree & Company's Pumpkin Blossoms fabrics, which are going to be great for this project. This collection has a high number of background fabrics with small and subtle color additions that…

One More Sew-Along, Why Not?
Month 5 of the Christmas Among the Stars Again sew-along. I did finish that second block, and I also got my fabric starched for the Moda BlockHeads 4 sew-along, which is starting today. Since it is a smaller project and the sew-along only lasts 6 months, I think I will see how it goes. One…

Christmas Among the Stars Again Month 5
Sew for an hour a day. Well, it's a great idea, and I am trying. The weekends are tricky because I care for my father. Sewing just isn't in the cards. That being said, whatever time I spend working on something is worth it in the end, even if it's just a few hours each…
