2026 SHARR: Hourglass Blocks from Life In Pieces

The week 1 prompt for the 2026 SAHRR (Quilting Gail) was set as hourglass blocks by Songbird Designs. I'm doing a single block for each prompt. After playing around in Electric Quilt for a bit, here's what I came up with.

Just a simple block with 4 hourglasses. The fabric placement makes the design. I had to work slowly to make sure I could get fabric into the right spots when I assembled the four squares.

I'm not sure yet where the block is going to fit with my center, so for now it's just up ...

To Do List for the Week of 01/20/2026 from Life In Pieces

It's been bitterly cold this week. It's great sewing weather, but not so great for much of anything else. It certainly kept me in the sewing room. That made last week's to do list look a little short.

To Do List for 1/13/2026

1. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish March, start April blocks ✔

2. Kate's Choice: Assemble third row ✔

3. Magnificent Mystery: Work on Nov/Dec/Jan clues ✔

4. Wild and Goosey: Finish green blocks, start on blue ✔

Definitely a productive week! Can I do the same this week? Maybe, maybe not. Two quilt alongs ...

creating so far this new year....SAHRR center and more from Not Afraid of Color

Time to announce our "stay at home round robin" center for 2026

I decided to join my three 12" dragonfly blocks for my center and keep the small 6" blocks to use as I go....

I used a special nature fabric to join them and it was a challenge to find the right one!

It has photographic branches in gold metallic. Not blending too much, but standing out a bit. Once I see the first prompted blocks to add, I think I might put a small border of this print around the joined three blocks as a spacer

at first ...

Getting Started on the 2026 SAHRR from Life In Pieces

I wasn't going to play along with the 2026 SAHRR hosted by Quilting Gail.

I had so many new starts last year and so few finishes, that my project list is longer than it's ever been. So why add another project? Especially when I was already so far behind on the projects started in the last quarter of 2025. It's such a fun challenge and I've loved all the quilts that have come out of it. What if I used fabric left over from previous projects? (This is why my list is so long, using up ...

To Do List for the Week of 01/06/2026 from Life In Pieces

It always seems so quiet after the first of the year. My Guy went back to work yesterday, so I was home alone for the first time in a little over 2 weeks. I got used to having someone home, so yesterday seemed especially quiet. I'll get used to it, but it just adds to that let down feeling that happens to me after the bustle and fun of the holiday are over.

My sewing time was a bit sparse before the weekend, but I tried to make up for it on Sunday. Here's how I fared with ...

Weekend Sewing from Life In Pieces

My Girl and Queenie left Saturday afternoon to start the almost 10 hour trek back to Houston. So the house felt really empty. Perfect time to go hide in my sewing room for a bit. My priority for the week is to finish the February block for the guild BOM and get started on the center block for the SAHRR (Quilting Gail). I'm almost done with the BOM block, but I can't show that till after the guild meeting. I didn't start the SAHRR center, but did get all the fabric cut for it.

I had to ...

Best of 2025 from Quilting & Learning

Welcome to the Best of 2025 post. The annual linking party is hosted by Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs. Thanks Cheryl!

I'm very ambivalent about what I accomplished this year, so I hope that you'll oblige me as I review and see how I did!

Best of Life in Pieces for 2025 from Life In Pieces

I'm never ready for the end of a year. With holidays in November and December, there are so many other things to think of. It always comes as a shock the day after Christmas to realize that the end of the year is a little less than a week away. My thought's naturally turn to what I didn't get to this year and thinking of what to do better next year. In all of those thought sessions it's so easy to loose track of all the cool things that happened in 2025. So it's always ...

To Do List for the Week of 12/30/2025 from Life In Pieces

Hard to believe this is the last To Do List for 2025 and the first for 2026. I haven't really given a lot of thought to what my sewing room goals are for 2026. Once upon a time (like a couple of years ago), I had a strategy for my To Do Lists. When I was doing that, my impression is that I got a lot more done. Maybe that's just wishful thinking. But I'll revisit that approach while I'm deciding on next year's goals. Before moving on to this week's list, how many ...

Getting a Start on 2026 Deadline Stitching from Life In Pieces

We've reached that time of the year when the three of us are off work and have a hard time remembering what day it is. We have no place to be, so the days can just drift by without you even realizing it. We check in with each regularly just to ensure we'll all at least in sync in our belief of what day it is.

My sewing room time has been ramping up since the holiday. Friday and Saturday were figuring out where I was before the holiday and deciding what needed to get done next. The ...

May 2025 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

May went fast! It didn't help that at about the halfway mark my sewing mojo disappeared. So not as much progress as I would have liked for the month. But there is still a bit to report for the May PHD report over at Ms. P Designs.

Finally a finish shows up on the PHD report, along with a new unplanned project. The finish is a project started this year, so there is still no progress on the UFO column.

The 2025 SAHRR, aka Stars in a Derecho Sky, (Quilting Gail) was my finish for May. Trudy, who has ...

First Finish for 2025 from Life In Pieces

Happy Memorial Day if you live in the US. Hopefully you didn't have your plans drowned out by the rain. That's about all we've seen this weekend is rain.

My lack of sewing mojo is still a thing. But I did get myself motivated to make and stitch the binding for my version of the 2025 Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) quilt.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. The quilt is 75.5" X 79.5". So a good size for cuddling on the couch with. The quilt needed a name before I ...

To Do List for the Week of 05/20/2025 from Life In Pieces

My last two posts made it pretty clear that I've not been that interested in spending time in the sewing room this last week. Progress on last week's to do list shows that.

To Do List for 05/13/2025

1. Kate's Choice: Continue to quilt blocks - no progress

2. Glowing Hearts: Finish piecing the blocks - progress

3. 2025 Guild BOM: Cut fabrics for July blocks - no progress

4. Old Town: Work on blocks at late night sew ✔

Definitely not the best week for progress on the to do list. But there will be weeks like that ...
