I LOVE lists. It is so satisfying to see things written down in an orderly fashion and even better to check things off when they are completed. When I feel anxious and overwhelmed I make a list. I have lists…
Monday Motivation: Good Fortune Mystery Quilt
Probably every quilter on the planet knows that Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville hosts a free mystery quilt every year starting on Black Friday. The 2018 mystery was the Good Fortune Quilt. Since we host Thanksgiving, I usually don’t participate. This…
DWM: Project Sew A Jelly Roll
Saturday was National Sew A Jelly Roll Day and that’s exactly what I did. Currently, I am obsessed with the triangle in a square block (tri-recs). The idea for this quilt has been floating around in my head for awhile…
DWM: Back to Points of Interest
The busy summer has not been conducive to productivity in the sewing room. So far, it’s not slowing down, but there may be hope on the horizon. Mostly I stick to quilting on the blog but I’m digressing a bit…
Scrappy Brickwork Quilt for DWM
This scrappy Brickwork quilt came about from a UFO. In this case, it really was an unidentified object. When I opened the project bag there was only a giant stack of 6-1/2” flannel squares and a cryptic reference to the pattern. I…

October OMG
The one monthly goal (OMG) challenge by Heidi at Red Letter Quilts has been powerful motivation for me to finish some UFOs. This is another one that is oh-so-close to being finished but I just need to push myself on…
DWM: So Simple Baby Quilt
Sometimes I browse through the vintage quilts on Ebay to find inspiration for future projects. Recently I saw a little gray and yellow Puss in the Corner quilt and fell in love with it. It was so soft and simple…
DWM: Woodlands
The weather has been too nice and too many fun things going on this weekend to spend much time in the sewing room. With temperatures in the mid-70s, low humidity and sunny skies, the weather has been glorious. Friday night…
DWM: 3 Sisters UFO
Last week when I browsed through some other quilters’ Stash Report blogs, I came across Kate’s from Life In Pieces. She tracks how many days she gets at least 15 minutes of sewing. I thought that was a great idea…
