It’s that time of year when, in addition to all the fall cleaning, baking, new activities and homework, I decide to FOCUS on some UFOs! I have 3 that I want to have a lot of progress on before next year. The one above is one of them.  It’s the mystery quilt my sister’s guild…

My design on the wall has been staring at me for just over a week. I started out making a block to submit to Quiltmaker for another volume of 100 Blocks. Not gonna happen next time around!  I will be in the issue coming out really soon though:)  This was my original plan. Well, there…

I was very fortunate to attend the Hawberry Quilt Show on Manitoulin Island with my family the weekend of September 17 – 18. No family road trip is complete without a few stops to enjoy the view. This is 10 Mile Point Lookout. My daughter read the road side plaque and I believe this was…

Do you like itWITH the falling petal? Or without? Stay tuned! I think the petals will be purple!:) Sarah Vee

I guess a pillow cover doesn’t really count as a Family Quilt. Except this one is handquilted and was made by my husband’s Granny. She made the biscuit quilt I wrote about here. It is full of handstitches and made up of quite dated fabrics. I still have some of that brown flower print –…

This is all I have up on my design wall this morning. I have sewn on the red stem with some variegated red thread and pinned some blue leaves in place. I think I will have to play with the flower petals before I “know” if this is how I want to place the leaves.…

blue leaves for my makealong project I’ve been working on stuff that doesn’t make for great blog content.
