Dresden Southern Belle Plans from Podunk Pretties

Last week was a total bust in the sewing room. Absolutely no sewing, but late in the week I did find time to work on a project I've been watching closely for a couple of years . . . A Southern Belle Dresden.

It's not my original design, hence "watching closely". It was drawn from an image on Pinterest that a friend shared with me. The person who posted it had no information linked and refused to answer any questions. I've tried a reverse image search many times in the last couple of years and came up with nothing. A ...

Sunday & Machine Embroidery from Quilting My Way

Today, I got up to find my box of threads already delivered.

It was perfect! They are small threads, but they are the perfect size for me. So, it was time to go down and do some work. I wanted to do the table runner. Patrick picked the pattern and I worked it out on the machine. It's not perfect, but I'm learning and it's fun to work on.

Patti stopped by and dropped off a couple quilt tops. Now I have 5 ready to be quilted. My quilters are busy and one said she can't ...

Tutorial ~ Square Scrunchie with Baby Lock Victory from Tea Rose Home

You might have made a scrunchie before, but have you ever made SQUARE scrunchies? I love square scrunchies, because it gives a different look when you tie your hair. It almost gives an illusion of tying a scarf or bandana rather than a fabric with elastic. This is also a great sewing project that is quick, easy and inexpensive, if you were looking for handmade gift ideas for Christmas. There are many tutorials out there, but I thought I would share a tutorial using my Baby Lock Victory serger.

Let's dive right in!

Week 44 of 2026 from Thread Head

This week I finished knitting a cardigan -

The pattern is the TANi cardigan by ANKESTRiCK.

I knitted it with handspun yarn that started as this bundle of fibre.

Some natural wool (white and brown) from local fleeces I was given years ago (I washed and combed it), that I drum carded with beige cashmere, white Angora, a bit of green sparkle (trying to use up my fibre stash), and cut up scraps of handspun (for flecks of colour).

I ended up with these batts (the ones on the left had the scraps of yarn, and the batts on the right ...

Thoughts on Quilting ~ Sew & Tell - 11/2/26 from Melva Loves Scraps

I have a folder on my phone that contains "blog topics." Whenever I stumble across something of interest, I will take a screen shot for future use. I'll be sharing one of those "screen shot" inspirations today after this week's Sew & Tell feature.

Cheree at The Morning Latte has had life in limbo as they have a new house built and living in limited space as they wait. Here's what she had to say...

"I'm a Finisher so all of this setting-blocks-aside stuff until I have my

design wall back has been bugging me. I needed ...

Slow Sunday Stitching from Eagle's Wings Quilts

I’m slowly making my way down the Woodpecker’s body doing the fill in colours, mostly two different shades of grey with some white added in for contrast. As is appropriate for slow stitching, it is going slowly. I was on a really good roll last evening, happily enjoying my stitching when we were suddenly, quite literally, in the dark. The power went out and stayed out for several hours. Counted cross stitch by flash light tends not to work very well, so that was the end of that. I had a book saved on my phone through one ...

Rainbow Log Cabin from Urban Quilter

Planning my layout at Quilt Retreat

In 2024 I participated in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge at So Scrappy. Among the sewing I did for that was 6 log cabin blocks in each of a bunch of colors. I finally figured out how to put them all together. I got the center of the top laid out and put together while I was at Fall Quilt Retreat. Having a bunch of quilters around to give me advice on how to mix-and-match the units was great. More eyes on the project resulted in a really well-balanced design.

I think a border of ...

Where was I from Gayle Bong Quilts Too

Posting isn't a habit quite yet. Even quilting isn't, I just sew alot.

I've set a goal to quilt 2 flimsies a week. I'm averaging that. Considering autumn is a favorite season and it's been glorious here this year I'm pretty satisfied with what I've quilted on cooler or rainy days.

Here's the latest. Both flimsies were finished recently and both are going to the church ladies to be bound.

I was challenged to use my pastels. This is as pastel as I have. I don't particularly like them real light ...

Making pumpkins from Happy Cottage Quilter

The fall season always brings out pumpkins.

So I wanted to make my own pumpkins. Last year I came across a very easy tutorial on Stacey Lees website.

These were so fun to make. I wanted to make more!

Prepping for retreat from Just Sew Sue

There's just over a week to go until I'm back at the Modern Quilt Club retreat at the Gomersal Park Hotel. Usually I have lots of projects packed, but this time I am packing fewer projects and acknowledging that I can no longer speed sew with any accuracy all day.

The first project that I've packed is the next border for the Liminal Quilt by Jo Avery for Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I think this would be a good project for Saturday as I should be able to finish it in a day. Soon the borders ...

November 2026 Monthly Color Challenge from Patterns by Jen

We are so close to the end, can you feel it in the air? I don't know about you, but fall weather only *just* started to actually feel like fall weather. That Pumpkin Toadlet from last month did NOT bring cooler weather fast enough for me. *wink*

2026 Monthly Color Challenge: A Free Block of the Month Program

This month our color is inspired by the Golden Poison Dart Frog.

The Golden Poison Dart Frog's scientific name is Phyllobates terribillis which seems very fitting. This is a true "dart frog" so don ...

Spooky Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to November! Sheesh. Can you believe we're into the "holiday season" already? And it’s my favorite time change of the year. For the past week, I’ve been making a list of all the things I’m going to do with my extra hour of time.

Truthfully, time seems to fly by any more. I feel as if we just got home from last winter’s trip south. It makes me think of a conversation I had with one of my graduate school professors. Her name was Maria, and her social work ...

Half Term Help from The Quilt Quine

I made use of my nephews who had a half-term holiday to give me a hand setting up the longarm frame. As they were not my own children I had stop after a reasonable time and I had to pay them. I don’t think the frames are really meant to be dismantled and set up again 3 or 4 times. I had difficulty getting some of the side bolts to hold but that could well have been down to my own incompetence and impatience. Let’s just say that I may have invented an emergency support using a piece ...

Lumiere – OBW #139 from If These Threads Could Talk

When I saw Lumiere by Timeless Treasures, it was love at first sight. Thank you Timeless Treasures for providing me with these beautiful fabrics.

I cut my strips 3.25″ to yield 5″ finished hexies using my First Choice rulers by Studio 180 Design..

From the same 3.25″ strips I made 10″ kaleidoscope Star 60 units using Deb Tucker’s Star 60 Tool.

I wanted the fairy to be gazing up at the moon and the stars, so I made 5″ and 10″ Framed 60 ‘s from the beautiful coordinating fabrics using my Star 60 Tool and the Framed ...

Hot Pads... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

Hot Pads

I learned a new method to create hot pads

that does not require a binding

or a hole that you need to stitch closed...

They also used up scrap fabrics...

and wrapping them up for gift giving...

I will leave a link at the bottom

so you can check out the tutorial and pattern...

These fabrics are leftover from a

quilt I made last year...

I was also able to utilize all those

Let's find a hobby - hurrah for craft kits!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

It's amazing what you can learn by asking perfect strangers! And even complimenting a perfect stranger is amazing. I've run into two instances where I saw someone wearing a garment that looked custom-made for them. The fit and the color were perfect. And I told them both - one in line at the grocery store, and the other in a restaurant. I think both were a bit taken aback that I would approach them until they realized what I was saying!

Funny how we are reluctant to interact with a stranger even when they have good news!

Well, I ...
