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.

Last week, I shared this quilt...

...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.

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? A Fresh New Year... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Well, here we are at Friday again - and not just any Friday, but the very first Friday of a brand new year! I'm away on a cruise right now, but my grandmother always told me to "start as you wish to go on", and it just didn't seem right to let the first Friday go by without a chance to get our whoop whoop on. So let's get started!

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

I haven't been sewing (obviously) but I do like to take the beginning of the year to think about what's coming - and I can ...
