She has a unique and beautiful style and sticks with it. Eva and I did a little seasonal decorating yesterday. We…

This Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt will be finished before I know it. Only 20 more blocks to go, and since we make 4 to 8 blocks a day, this will wrap up pretty quickly. The blocks above are 8, 9, 10, and 11. I forget which is which, but the most recent one I did…

It’s About Time
This is a big announcement for me. So often kind people who are interested in reading my blog ask me how they can follow me and receive notifications when I post. Duh. I am not very tech-savvy, and I have never known how to make that happen. "I don't know, just check-in every weekday?" is…

A Dozen Sew Alongs You Might Love
This post is going to be full of information. I will provide lots of links to a plethora of fantastic sew alongs that you could stitch happily along with while you are "sheltering in place". If we are all stuck at home, we could at least have something to show for it at the end,…

Laundry Basket Quilts Mystery Sew Along
Edyta of Laundry Basket Quilts is doing a really fun mystery sew along. I am usually leary of mystery quilts, but decided to give this one a go. I am really pleased with the blocks so far, and what I especially like is that she shows you the block layout with each addition. Now, this…

Year of the Sew Along
2020 is turning into The Year of the Sew Along for me. In our current lockdown situation, so many designers, quilt shops, and groups are hosting the most fun sew alongs. If we are stuck in the house, surrounded by our fabric stashes, why not make the most of it! I have an all-time high…

A Tea Party and Two Meals
Week One of Social Distancing is now nearly complete and we survived. So yesterday Eva and I got all dressed up and had a tea party. Three kinds of tea, cucumber sandwiches, scones, lemon curd, the works. It was just what we homebound girls needed. You may think you have no reason to get out…

Moda BlockHeads #10
This week's block was pretty simple. This represents about fifteen or twenty minutes of work, which is not really doing it for me. I am craving something a bit more complex and time-consuming. I tried to ramp up the challenge by making the four-inch size. I think I will need a total of sixteen four-inch…
