One More ModaBlockheads- Block 28
I made up one more Moda BlockHeads block yesterday. It is called Broken Dishes, submitted by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts. It is the 28th block in the year-long sew-along. Joanna used all reds in her sample block, so I followed suit. I chose the 12" size because I have been making a lot…

Back To Moda Blockheads 3
I think it is time for me to get back to Moda BlockHeads 3, which has been neglected in the past weeks. I slept all day Tuesday after my medical procedure. The anesthesia really knocked me out, but I am back to normal now. I took a very short walk with my friend (proper social…

Setting Blocks and Setting Triangles for Comfort and Blessing
This is really coming along. It is Piecing the Past's "Comfort and Blessing" summer quilt along. The patterns are available for purchase on their website. I think I have been referring to this project as "Comfort and Joy" but that wasn't right. I must have Christmas in July on my brain. Anyway, sorry for any…

A Little Sewing
After my crazy week, I managed to log in some peaceful time in the sewing room on Sunday. I finished the second sunflower block for the runner I am making. There is a really engrossing book I am listening to that kept me completely fascinated. The sixth book in Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series, "The…

One Step At a Time
Thank you all so so much for all your encouragement and kind words yesterday regarding my father's vision issues. We saw the specialist, who was a total rock star (evidently he is extremely well regarded in his area of specialization). The procedure was a bit of an ordeal, particularly as my dad is 94 and…

Consequences
This is kind of a personal post, so if you aren't into that, feel free to come back in a day or so when I have other content. I am still with my dad. It turns out his issue with his eyes is quite serious. Six or seven months ago, he noticed his vision was…

Something New
I am visiting my father for a couple of days this week, so I won't be doing a full-blown post today. We have been attending to a couple of long-overdue doctor's appointments. Remember the MRI I had back in February? I finally got in to talk to the doctor about my results. That is what,…

Frivols 6 (Not) is Finished
Hello. This is Frivols #6. Not. In my recent sewing room clean up, I reacquainted myself with my little Frivols collection. I had started to do something with Frivols 6, which was nothing like the project suggestion that came with the fabric in the collectible tin. And then I abandoned the project. I had been…

Moda BlockHeads 1 Finally Finished
This has been a long time coming. I finally got Moda BlockHeads 1 finished. My big hold up was the borders. I wanted to do something fancy and different for the borders, and had an idea to add a flying geese border, then an outer border or two. I made a gazillion flying geese and…

Frivols #6- Major Change Up
This is what one was supposed to do with the project kit for Frivols # 6. It is nice enough, but the Churn Dash block didn't excite me terribly. The little kit #6 featured a collection by Fig Tree & Co. called "Strawberry Fields Revisited". It was a remake of a hugely popular earlier Fig…
