What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I recently made some pouches, Popcorn Pouches to be specific. These cute little projects were super fast and easy to make. I saw them on Instagram one day last week, bought the pattern, and made two of them the very next day (in two hours). And one more since then! The pattern is by Amista Baker at Hilltop Custom Designs and comes as a pdf download.

The pattern gives you four size options. I made the small and medium pouches. The medium size would be perfect to hold a ...

Happy Friday!  I have so many things to show you today – there’s a little bit of everything here.  A new mug rug that I made for someone special, a new sewing room that is keeping me very busy, a quick little tip, and my baby granddaughter, Clara, turned one!

The designer that I worked with for our remodel was wonderful and I wanted to make her something special as a thank you.  Since she loves to drink tea, I thought a new mug rug would be perfect.  I designed this one to resemble the tile floor in our bathroom ...

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Have you recovered from Daylight Saving Time yet?  The mornings are a little rough at the start for me.  In California, the sun is finally shining and the temperatures are slowly rising.  I pulled weeds yesterday and enjoyed my first spring visit to my neglected yard.  Cooper has already started hunting for lizards in the hopes of catching one before it realizes that “hunting” season has begun!

On top of all that, I should have one functioning bathroom in about a week!  My sewing room is starting to take shape, too.  It will be ready to move ...

For those of you in North America, I hope you’re staying warm inside while the temperatures are at their lowest outside.  In Northern California, we’re expecting a typical winter day with highs around 60 and rain coming this weekend.  I’m spoiled – I know!

I’m slowly progressing on some piecing projects (my favorite) that are ongoing.  I’m catching up on The Patchsmith’s Sampler Blocks as the sew along is reaching it’s end.  There are a total of (50) 6″ blocks, and I’ve made about 30 of them.  The most recent two are the ...

I’m so happy that I actually have a WIP (work in process) for Wednesday to show you!  I finished this quilt top from a 2013 block of the month (Fat Quarter Shop Mystery BOM).  I only needed to add the final border and piece the backing for it.  Now it’s off to the longarm quilter!

This quilt came as a kit each month and each row has a different theme.  You’ll find baskets, stars, houses and flowers.  Such a happy quilt!

This project is part of my 2019 UFO & WIP challenge.  Last week I announced that I ...

One of my favorite things about some of the monthly quilting groups that I belong to is the show & tell time.  I love seeing what everyone is working on, and I’m often inspired to create something based on what has been shared.

Here on my blog, I often share my progress of BOM projects, quilts that I’m working on, and other various projects.  So today, I have a little show & tell for you!

I am a sucker for a good block of the month or sew along, so I have many that I’m participating in – both online ...

I have so many Wednesday WIP’s (works in progress) that it’s a little embarrassing.  I’m trying to prioritize, but it seems like they’re all tugging at me and saying “pick me!”.

Let me start with my Summer Fun quilt which is under my sewing machine right now.  I have a partial plan for the quilting.  I used my iPad and Procreate (which is a digital illustration App) to draw a quilting plan.  If you have an iPad Pro, you should consider this app.  It costs $10 and it’s worth every penny.  The expensive part is ...

June WIP’s are here, but can someone slow down the calendar?  June is already more than half-way gone.  The Zen thing to do would be to enjoy this moment.  Yes, as I sip on my green tea and type these words, I am enjoying each day and each click of the keyboard.  I’ll be grilling hamburgers in the backyard in just a few hours!

I’m staying on target with my quilt alongs and block of the weeks, months, etc.  I have three lovely blocks finished for The Patchsmith’s Sampler Sew Along.  I love rummaging through my ...

I promised that I would share my many quilt blocks from the various BOM’s and QAL’s I’ve joined (it seemed like a good idea at the time), so here we go!

The Quilter’s Planner block for this month was so much fun, and I’m beginning to love them more when they’re all grouped together.  Remember, I’m making them two sizes smaller than the original 12″ block pattern.  So, mine are 6″ and 3″ finished.  Sew cute and tiny!

I’m making each  month’s block a different color of the rainbow.  The yellow ...
