The Moda Spotted Fabric I ordered finally arrived. Yeah! And I quickly made the next three Moda Blockhead 3 blocks. I almost made the block that came out yesterday but just ran out of time. (I know, what else do I have to do???) I’m mixing the sizes of my blocks up a little. The ones I think might be … ….oh there’s more
I didn’t make much progress on the quilting front. I’m waiting….waiting….waiting…. I’m at the mercy of the US delivery services! My Fat Quarter Shop order is finally on its way and will arrive on Friday. Yippee. I’m waiting for this fabric before I continue with the Moda Blockheads3 quilt-a-long. I’ve ordered four new 1/2 yards of the Spotted fabrics. I’m … ….oh there’s more
I haven’t been sewing very much this week, but I did finish my Norah Quilt Top from Sunny Day Supply. This is my second “Scrappy Times” quilt. So called because I am only using fabrics that I have in my stash. And we are living in Scrappy Times! The Norah Quilt is mainly a huge log cabin block. I started … ….oh there’s more
This week I did blocks 13, 14, and 15 from the Moda BlockHeads 3 quilt-a-long. I’ve had such a hard time making decisions over the past six weeks. I’ve been overthinking everything which makes my quilting past time not as much fun. More like work than a hobby. Lately I’ve been drawing the blocks and coloring them in on graph … ….oh there’s more
I thought I’d start out today talking about masks. Not this kind. I’ve made a bunch of masks for many people. Daughter Jes also made some and didn’t like them and had resorted to wearing bandannas. So when I saw this tutorial on Sew4Home.com for the VersaWrap, I dug out the little bit of knit fabric that I have and … ….oh there’s more
While I was waiting for the next Moda Blockheads 3 quilt block to come out, I was looking for fabrics to start another scrappy times quilt. I keep most of my fabrics sorted by colors in different bins in my sewing room. But I ventured into the grandkids closet because sometimes fabric sneaks in there. I found a quilt kit … ….oh there’s more
One of my goals for this year is updating my tutorials. Making them a little easier to understand. Better pics. Better instructions. I’m calling these my “20/20 Updates” cause I’m using my special 20/20 vision. Ha! I had this one almost ready back in March. Just needed to add the pics to the tutorial. Then the world changed and my … ….oh there’s more
As soon as I finished my “Scrappy Times I” quilt last week, I started back into the Moda BlockHeads 3 quilt along. I also began pulling bits and pieces from my fabric stash to make Scrappy Time 2 and I was also working on some other projects like making Fernie the Fox a friend or two. More about that in … ….oh there’s more
Wondering how everyone is feeling right about now….. Thought I’d share what is going on with me. And my family. And throw some pics in from my yard in the last few days. If you know me, you know that I’m an extrovert that is always busy. Enjoying my life with my friends and family and community. Ready for an … ….oh there’s more
I’ve had a little trouble concentrating or sticking with one project. And I have a lot of projects that I would like to finish. But my mind wandered and I decided to make a new quilt. Because I find cutting up bits and stitching them back together in a completely different order rather comforting. But. I’m also feeling VERY frugal. … ….oh there’s more
