Block a Day roundup – Week 6

My goodness were we productive this week. In the Block a Day Challenge we completed 85 blocks and four quilts. Keep it up for a chance to win this month’s prize, a copy of Eva A. Larkin’s “Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy.” Now onto a virtual show and tell of our work this week.

September Block of the Month

This month’s block is made fast and easy thanks to some time saving techniques. We’re making more half square triangles. You all should be experts at making them by now.

Time to Start HOLIDAY SEWING Projects!

Picture this … it’s Christmas Eve. You just said goodnight to your family and are able to enjoy a nice cup of hot cocoa in front of the fire while listening to Christmas music because you don’t have to stay up until 3 a.m. binding your last quilted gift. I know … it sounds pretty […]

Quilt retreat to-do list

If you ask my grandma, she thinks I sew all day long. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. The business end of running a quilting blog tends eat up more time than sewing and you’re usually more likely to find me in front of a computer than the sewing machine. But that is going to change […]
