Just one week left in July and I still haven’t finished either of my UFO’s for the month. One is on the frame right now and the quilting should be finished today. There isn’t much left to do on the…
A Quilt for Emma Lee
Last week I had to giddy-up and get a baby quilt made very quickly. My niece Amanda just had a baby girl–BIG NEWS in our family because we haven’t had a baby in a long time. Originally I hadn’t planned to…
Another Fancy Fox In The Works
Still seems like there aren’t many projects getting finished here but I am getting a little sewing time so that’s good news. A couple of opportunities arose to do some sewing for others so I still haven’t had a chance…
DWM-Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 8
Wow! The Baby Quilt Blitz started last Monday and we’re not finished yet. Today’s quilt is a super simple design. I’ve seen many variations and chevrons are everywhere but I still like the simplicity of it. As it happened, the…
Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 7
Today’s quilt is another one from a Villa Rosa pattern. This one is called Daybreak. These simple little patterns work so well when you need to make a quilt FAST!. In the U.S. each pattern costs only $2.00 with free…

Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 4
Today’s charm pack baby quilt continues on the Disappearing Nine Patch theme. I drew it up in EQ7 but haven’t had a chance to make it yet. It was kind of an afterthought and I used all my charm packs…
Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 3
Today’s quilt was inspired by one I made awhile back using a layer cake. It was made with a technique where you stack 4 squares, cut horizontally, cut vertically and shuffle so you end up with four different fabrics in…
Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 2
Today’s quilt is similar to yesterday’s but it has checkerboard sashing on two sides. I was inspired by this tile floor. I had to do a little playing around with it in EQ7 to make it work for charm squares…
DWM: Baby Quilt Blitz-Day 1
This series of quilts is truly a case of one thing leading to another and it came from two directions. First, I somehow ended up with several charm packs of juvenile fabric and then my small quilting group chose baby…
