As I mentioned on Monday, I am taking a bit of a detour so that I can wrap up a long term WIP. It has been a little over a year and a half since I pieced the Modern Plus Sampler quilt top. The Modern Plus Sampler was a quilt along hosted by my friends Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs)...

I am currently working on a lot of different "secret sewing" projects, which is both exciting and frustrating. I definitely look forward to being able to share details about these projects when I can (stay tuned for more about some on Friday), but it's frustrating because I have less that I can share and talk about in the mean...

Modern Plus Sampler {Pieced Top}

I have really loved participating in the Modern Plus Sampler quilt along hosted by my friends Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms) this year, and I am thrilled to be able to say I have my quilt top pieced together. I would have loved to get a better photograph of the quilt top, but my design wall is...

Today, it is my pleasure to share about the special block I designed to be included in the OLFA 40th Anniversary Quilt and Quilt Along. When I shared the OLFA 40th anniversary celebration quilt a few weeks ago, I think many of you were able to quickly hone in on the block I designed. It's my pleasure to introduce the...

Modern Plus Sampler {Paper Pieced Areas}

I have been looking forward to piecing the Paper Pieced areas of the Modern Plus Sampler quilt along, hosted by Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms), based on the fact that I created a version of the Kaleidoscope Plus quilt last year. Unsurprisingly, the Kaleidoscope Block came together quickly for me. Too quickly in fact. If you look toward...

Modern Plus Sampler {Applique Areas}

I knew we would get to this month eventually: it's time to make the Modern Plus Sampler Applique Blocks for the Modern Plus Sampler Quilt Along hosted by Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms). My domestic sewing machine, a Juki TL-2200QVP Mini, is a straight stitch only machine, so my game plan was to use the Crafted Applique...

Modern Plus Sampler {Rick Rack Areas}

Like Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) mentioned when she and Paige (Quilted Blooms) introduced the Rick Rack Areas at the beginning of the month, how is it already November? Well, I was able to get my Rick Rack Areas pieced before Thanksgiving, so I'm feeling good about my piecing progress this month. The background fabric is a FreeSpirit Kaffe Fassett shot...

This is the first time we have used Fabric E and Fabric F (the two outer stripes of color in...

Modern Plus Sampler QAL {Small Plus Area}

Cheryl (Meadow Mist Designs) and Paige (Quilted Blooms) have us piecing together (40) small plus blocks this month in the Modern Plus Sampler QAL. With a bit of chain piecing spaced out over a few days, my collection of blocks came together. I opted to oversize my blocks and trim them down to final size per the instructions within...

Once I got home and settled, I was excited to dig in to see how my fabric selections for the QAL begin to work together. We worked with 3 of...

The quilt combines most of the plus blocks from their awesome book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts, into a beautiful 63" x 78" sampler quilt....

When my oldest niece was about 3 years old, she and I were playing together and one of the phrases she used a lot at the time was, "This is this and that is that." As I was trying to come up with a name for this post, that memory popped to mind and I thought that a little...

Magnolia Mystery QAL {Flower Units}

I was really excited when I saw Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs's November instructions for the Magnolia Mystery Quilt on November 2nd: Flower Units! I spend my Sunday afternoon chain piecing the units together. I chose to do things in sets of 8. Sew 8 seams, press 8 seams, repeat. I really love how my fabric selections came together in these...

My Fabric B is a Cotton + Steel basic, Dottie's Cousin in Bright Plum. My...

Magnolia Mystery QAL {HSTs}

When Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs released the September Magnolia Mystery QAL instructions, I don't think many of us were surprised to see making half-square triangles (HSTs) as the assignment for the month. My 72 Fabric A/D HSTs came together quicker than I had anticipated. I do love a HST block! That uses up all of Fabric A; I'm curious to see what comes...

Thank you so much to everyone who weighed in with enthusiasm and suggestions for a Quilt Along based on my question at the bottom of my post on Sunday. To recap, I asked: I had originally tentatively planned to host another Quilt Along starting in September, but life has pulled me in many different directions lately. How would people feel...
