National Dog Day: My Dog
Did you all enjoy seeing all the cute dog pics on Instagram yesterday? It was National Dog Day. Everyone with a cute dog (and some not so cute dogs) posted pictures of their pets. Well I have a cute dog too. Ozzie. He has been with us for 13 years and those years have been…

Sew Much Un-Sewing
I think I spent as much time unsewing these blocks as I did sewing them together. The problem was the center. I needed to have two of the leaf blocks turn inward and I neglected to do that. Also, getting those four stems to line up in the middle was a bear. Oh well, it's…

Bad Air
Our air quality is so bad from the fires all over the state. I had some things I was trying to organize out in the garage and thought I would be "inside" enough while working on them for an hour. Mistake. After an hour of puttering outside my house, I developed a full-blown asthma attack.…

Maple Leaves Runner and Our State is Burning Up
I put in a few hours of sewing over the weekend, and the Maple Leaves blocks are finished and being sewn together. The batik fabrics are so pretty. It is like I am working with little jewels. What I am really enjoying is the lighter background. Many of my fall table toppers and runners are…

Even Better
These little Maple blocks from the Pattern Basket pattern of the same name are turning out so cute. I decided to go with a pile of batik fat quarters I have had forever and I love how the colors work together. Very organic and fall like. Excuse my hairy design wall. I haven't lint rollered…

American Pie Block Units Done
Remember this project? It is a one-block quilt called American Pie, an older pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company that lends itself beautifully to scrap busting. I picked it up at the beginning of the pandemic, thinking it would be a fun project to occupy me for a few weeks while we sheltered in place. …

We Did Our Own Thing Today
We haven't had our math assessment yet, we haven't had any of our online workshops in science and reading, so we spent our day the best way we could. By doing our own thing. We had breakfast, then went to the grocery store. Eva was in charge of the shopping list and led me around…

More Jelly Roll Books and Patterns
Didn't we have a nice conversation about jelly rolls and sources for patterns and books to instruct us how to use them? Thank you so much to everyone who chimed in to mention their favorites. As far as I am concerned, I am flabbergasted that I neglected to mention Kim Brackett and her amazing books…
