The quilt is simple–Half Square Triangle blocks alternating with Four Patch blocks.

It is the colors and the layout that make it special.

You can make the design with a couple of charm packs, or a combination of scraps cut into 5″ squares and 2-1/2″ squares (I cut them in pairs). The finished size is 36″.

It was a treasure hunt, searching for this scrap and that one to see what would really work. The finished quilt is in the donation pile for the children’s hospital.
read moreOn our road trip to Omaha, granddaughter Olivia picked out fabric for her first sewing lesson with grandma. She is a huge animal lover so this dog fabric isn't surprising.
She did a great job on her pillowcase. She started on a second project - a table runner. Maybe we'll work on it a little more today before they head home.
Organiziation! It's so critical to how we work. Wait — it's critical to how much we get done, or how easy it is to get something done. Even if you love working in chaos, when things have a home, it's so much easier.
Right now, if you looked at Studio B, you would GASP. I gasp because there are boxes of threads and stabilizers all over the floor. The cutting table and the ironing board are heaped with stuff, the sewing tables are strewn with embroidery hoops, and other "debris." It's in quite a disarray. BUT since ...

And finally this little gem.
It was fun to scout out these old quilts.

I love having nice long seams to sew at night while I watch TV. This is the second set of 10 stratas that I finished early in the day yesterday. They were started the night before.
This is the third set of 10 stratas which I sewed last night. I have one more set of 10 to sew today. Then I have to decide if it will be a traditional 16 patch block or the "other 16 patch" which is 16 rectangles per block.
I need to clean off a table and baste one of my small quilts so I ...

This week I worked on piecing blocks for the new project that I’m working on. It’s a Pam Buda pattern called Old Mill Pond. I found out that even though I had the right sized pieces in all the right places, the colors in my block weren’t like the instructions. I haven’t made a green and blue quilt before, and am experimenting with which greens and which blues in my stash are going to be used together. But this block is ready for assembly, with the greens in the correct places, and the ...

Well, that was a fast weekend. Fortunately, I was able to check a few things off my list. I was able to get all my tax paperwork put together and got it delivered to the CPA’s office on Friday morning. That is definitely a load off my mind. My a/c had gone out again on Wednesday evening, and the technician was able to come by on Thursday evening and get it fixed. He has assured me that everything that might fail has been replaced this year. We’ll see.
Sheesh! I've really fallen off the blog wagon this month. And yes, all is well, everyone is happy and healthy, I've just misplaced my posting mojo and although the little bits and bobs of daily life fill up our days, it doesn't seem like they fill up a post. I did get my America 250 quilt top together And I pieced all the border sectionsBinding stitches were added during UFC

As in, what makes you realize you’re in your comfort zone?
Last Monday night I started sewing down the binding on the Girl Gang DIY Sampler. I had already stitched down the hanging sleeve and while that was happening, I remembered just how much I love hand sewing. Just the rhythm of the needle and thread moving in and through and out of the fabric layers is very soothing to me. And it’s something I can do while watching TV, because I’m rarely paying that much attention to what’s playing (unless it’s a show I ...
read moreToday was one of those days. I needed to clean house and I needed to sleep. Instead, I cleaned house and got everything done.
Then I sat and played on the tablet for a while. I was enjoying my "hunting" around the kingdom to see where I could get resources.
After supper I decided I needed to get back and finish another one of my cross stitches. I worked on it for a good 3 hours.
