Ideas are flowing fast these days – witness the one end of my cutting table with 3 projects piled on it. So far I’ve only cut one charm the wrong way! These little 3 1/2 inch nine patches are the greatest little gifts! Like little chocolates:) This one is my favourite so far. With its…

I decided to make some placemats to match my Happiness Key quilt. I have some of the border fabrics left. I even allowed myself to fussy cut a big rose from the fabric for each placemat. I’m using my Striped Delight pattern and just following the measurements to cut pieces from yardage and fat quarters.…

My newest batik charm squares seduced me into cutting them – just a wee bit – to play with this fun, quick way to make nine patch squares. The block is only 3 inches square when finished! Too cute, I couldn’t resist:) Link to Fun with Barb Nine Patch tutorial I did complete another Halloween…

With their motivation, I got this block finished. (It’s block #10 in my numbering system:)) Halloween 1904 is by Blackbird Designs,…

**I’ve done an even more recent post with more descriptive photos – take a peek here!** My space has expanded again. My daughter wanted to get rid of a drawer/shelf unit from her bedroom and I made some room for it! My space has only ever been as big as the rug you see –…

I finally did it! I made something with my FIRST ever layer cake! My mom got it for me years ago and I just thought it was too pretty to cut into. I also didn’t realize how MUCH fabric there is in a layer cake. (I had never really done the math – 10×10 inch…

My eyes hurt this morning! Could be from all the sewing I did last night after dinner! Don’t look too closely, but I’m pretty proud of this paper pieced block. It’s the May Threads of Memory block. Thanks to Rachael, another quilter who is also doing these blocks, who sent me her paper piece pattern.…
