RinAlong – First Finish

This is a long three-day weekend for my husband and I, and we have been enjoying time at home. We typically cook meals together, and the past few days I have even been able to sneak in a bit of needle turn applique work on my RinAlong project while things simmer on the stove. Which meant I quickly had...

RinAlong – Block 1

I spent the bulk of yesterday morning doing administrative planning work. It felt good to get through some items on my "to-do" list, but it wasn't the most fulfilling kind of progress to make. So just before lunch I treated myself to a break and I cut my fabric for my first RinAlong quilt block. As you might tell with...

Freefall QAL – Final 6 Blocks

Sandra @mmmquilts! published the final set of piecing instructions for the Freefall QAL last Monday, May 1st.

Freefall QAL – 6 Leaf Blocks and Shadow Leaf Corner Unit

Sandra @mmmquilts! published the second set of piecing instructions for the Freefall QAL last Monday, April 17th. Piecing the second set of leaf blocks went so much quicker after learning the block in the first step. I opted for paper piecing the Shadow Leaf corner unit blocks, and I love how on their own they have a very Star Trek vibe to...

Project Progress

Last Friday, I was able to start working on the Baby Carter quilt. One of the things I like most about this design is the ease in which fabrics can be oriented and kept "right side up". On Monday, I sewed the final seams and had a finished quilt top. After thinking about the options for the quilting thread, the...

December Meadow Mystery Quilt

I've said it before, and I will probably say it again, but the great thing about Cheryl @Meadow Mist Designs Mystery Quilt Alongs is the pace. She releases new instructions on the first Thursday of each month. Sometimes I can make early in the month, and some months I'm glad for some extra time. This month was a lot of...
