New Layer Cakes
This fabric collection was so big last summer. I didn't jump on the bandwagon unfortunately and came to regret it. Luckily you can still purchase precuts and yardage of this super cute group on Etsy and some online fabric shops. Back Porch by Me and My SIster for Moda. Did you follow along with the…

Bella Solids Lights De-mystified
When it comes to the Moda Bella Solids that are so prevalently used as background fabrics, have you been confused?

Sewcialites #26 Courage
I don't have much sewing to show for my time, but I did finish last week's Sewcialite block. "Courage" by Joanna Figueroa, #26 in the sew-along. It was pretty easy. I do like the crispness of the cream against the red. The red fabric was a small scrap of some Minick and Simpson collection I…

Album Block Woes
I went back to work on my Album blocks yesterday. And realized I had made the first four of them wrong. The second and sixth rows are supposed to be made with 3 1/2" long strips of colored fabric, and I had used strips that were 2 1/2". Arghhh. I sure did not want to…

Serendipity Flying Geese Row
What a busy day we had yesterday! Eva had her swim class at 11 to 12 and I had my second COVID shot at 1. I felt like I was in a big rush to get places only to have to wait once I arrived. At least I got to read my book while Eva…

Catching Up on Sew Alongs
I had a productive weekend, spending most of it with my dad and no sewing machine. The two of us had a pleasant time together, and I stayed to make him a nice Easter breakfast. My sisters planned to see him for dinner and make it as festive as possible. He kept asking all week…

Summer in Kansas, a Cake Mix Quilt Pattern
Sometimes you see a quilt and you just have to make it exactly as shown. Typically I will change up a pattern or fabric to suit myself, but sometimes…I just want what the other person made. This photo from the Moda website is Summer in Kansas, a Cake Mix quilt pattern by Carrie Nelson. She…

Album Block Runner
Ah, what a treat it is to be able to just stay home and sew. I am making the most of this week, that is for sure. I had purchased a honey bun of At Home by Bonnie and Camille that I wanted to make use of. I needed to find a pattern that used…
