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…
WIP Wednesday: Island Chain
This quilt really taxed my brain. The units for this quilt are super simple and I thought it would be a piece of cake to put together but it was a struggle. After working on the layout for an hour…
Porch Swing Borders…and my border confession
The UFOs are piling up in my sewing room so I need to at least finish some tops so I can move them and their leftover bits out of there (and into another pile haha!). Today I sewed borders onto the…
Beautiful Day on the Water
The weekend weather forecast was not very promising and it looked like Saturday would be the only warm, sunny day. It was beautiful when we got up so we loaded the kayaks on the car and headed up to Door…
How Did I Forget This?
Still not much sewing going on around here but I was looking through some pictures and came across this. How could I forget this quilt? There was just a bit of binding left to finish and now it’s DONE! So,…

Women of the Bible Block 1
I’ve been collecting the block patterns for the Women of the Bible quilt for awhile. I really like these patterns because they offer a little Bible lesson in addition to the block instructions. There is also space for personal reflection…
DWM: Little Trips from the Scrap Bag
One thing is for sure; once you start digging through the scrap bag, it’s hard to stop. The Little Trips pattern from Glad Creations is perfect for 2” strips. I love their designs and patterns. The quilts always look more…
More Blocks from the Scrap Bag
Today I spent a little more time cutting scraps and ended up with so many 2-1/2” squares that I decided to start another nine patch quilt. Here is an EQ7 drawing of the one I like to make. It is…
One Measly Block
As far as sewing, that is pretty much what I’ve accomplished the past month. This is the block and it took over an hour to make it but still… The block is called Modern Star and Pinwheel and is a…
