Charmed, I'm Sure! Time To Sew!! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Are you on "coronacation" where you are? We are - the grandkids are out of school, hubby is working from home, and me? Well, I'm still unpacking and working on getting my old house ready to go on the market, but I'm hoping to get some time to sew this week without as many outside distractions available!

And that segues right into the name of this week's Charmed, I'm Sure charm quilt - Time To Sew! I chose this name because the basic building block of this quilt is commonly called the hourglass block. You may ...

Charmed, I'm Sure! Quilty Friends Are The Best.... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

As we come back for another week of Charmed, I'm Sure!, I am so very grateful for the kindness of quilty friends! I received an email earlier this week from Jan Ochterbeck, who blogs over at The Colorful Fabriholic. In it, she offered to let me use one of her charm square tutorials as part of this series, and as busy as this week was, I am more than happy to take her up on the offer!

So this week we will be exploring the joys of snowball blocks. Rather like the real thing, they have a ...

Charmed, I'm Sure! Two For the Price of One... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Today's "Charmed, I'm Sure" tutorial is a two-for-one! You'll understand that better further on, but for right now, let's start with a block tutorial. Once again, it's an oldie but a goodie, and one that has had a resurgence lately - the economy block, which is also known as a square-in-a-square.

This is a fun little block, and one that lends itself well to our theme of 5" squares. All of the pieces for this block are cut from five 5" squares.

Here's what you'll need:

1 4.5" square for the ...

...along with a link to Amy Smart's fantastic tutorial for a simple charm quilt on point! This was such an easy quilt to make, and a great scrap buster.

Charmed, I'm Sure! Begins - With A Lot of Help From A Friend! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, they do say better late than never, and we sure are getting a late start on this year's quilt tutorial series - but hopefully you will all forgive me! Moving really threw a monkey wrench in my life for a while, but as you'll see today, a very good friend is helping me out so that we can get started.

This year's theme is Charmed, I'm Sure! and our focus will be on using charm squares. I don't know about you, but I choose to cut my scraps into pre-cut sizes (2.5 ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Life Is Good! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

The end of the week has rolled around once again, and with it, time for us to do some whooping it up! I hope you're ready - it's been a big week around here and I know I am! Let's get started...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

When I started this week I didn't think I'd be able to find anything "whoop-worthy" for this Friday's post. Boy was I wrong! First of all, in between all the packing and cleaning and decluttering I did this week, I found time to finish something...

I'm really loving this pretty ...
