November Quilt UFO Just two months before the new year—actually less than two months—how are you doing on your Quilt UFO List? I took a bit of a turn when attempting to finish up the Quilt UFOs for this year. This little pup (Buster) has loved sleeping on the table when I am piecing. As soon as I sit down at the machine, he wants to be up there on a cuddly blanket. Foundation Piecing…
November Installment of the Row by Row Sampler Are you ready for the November installment of the Row by Row Sampler? This scrappy pattern is wrapping up quickly! I love the photos I am seeing. It always amazes me how different the pattern will look. This block, the Ohio Stars, is one of my favorites. It may look simple, but there is so much that can be done with it. You may remember from last…
How Does Worktable Wednesday Look for You This week, my Worktable Wednesday starts with a big Grammy mug of chai and ginger tea. An extra strong mug of tea helps when you feel a bit under the weather. There will be a fair amount of rest between the chores I want to finish both in and out of the sewing room. Today, I will work on the foundation piecing units. I finished three this morning,…
It’s October – Quilt UFO Time We are closing in on the end of 2024; just a couple more months to finish your quilt UFOs. I will be cramming in my projects; summer time kept me busy. Playing catch-up was the name of the game in September. Let’s hope I can have a repeat for October. My Quilt UFO list is dwindling, but I would love to be able to finish them all. Machine Quilting…
The October Installment of the Row by Row Sampler As we enter the last quarter of the year, it is time to step back and check our progress on the Row by Row Sampler. This month, I will not put the blocks into rows. After completing next month’s blocks, I will decide whether I will make two mixed rows or not. I like Friendship Stars, but when you mix them with next month’s block, they…
September Quilt UFO Progress Well, September is two-thirds of the way done. I am finding more time to work in the sewing room. I have finally completed July’s and August’s machine quilting. The September Quilt UFO on my machine now. It feels great to complete some of my Quilt UFOs, but I still have foundation piecing and Jack’s Chain to work on. Saturday Sew Day Tomorrow will be an excellent day to focus on sewing…
September installment of the Row by Row Sampler As I look out the window and see that the leaves are already starting to turn here, I realize I am not ready for winter this year. This will be a busy month; actually, it will be a few busy months for me. We are winding down on the Row by Row Sampler. It is exciting to see the results. This month, we are working on Flying…
Mid-August Quilt UFO Update Today is one of those days when they are calling for rain, but we haven’t seen it yet. I am going to play this day as if it were raining. There are so many inside chores to get done! I am working on a Quilt UFO – the foundation piecing one in my living room. Tomatoes, peppers, and onions are roasted in the oven, preparing to create sauce and chili later.…
August Row by Row Sampler Installment Finally, the next step of the Row by Row Sampler is posted! I love the way this scrap quilt is coming together. We are more than halfway through. This is the second one I have made, and I love the results! I must say those who have shared their version have me wanting to try again with a variation. So many quilts, so little time. Scrappy Hearts I was…
Sunday Sew Day Today was a good day to spend a few hours in the sewing room—my Sunday Sew Day. This was one of those days when I was productive at finishing things, although I don’t know what was different today from other days. We are just about at the halfway point in July. Up until today, I hadn’t worked on my July quilt UFOs. Progress on Quilt UFOs The foundation piecing projects for this…
