WIP Wednesday
The new season of Project Quilting has started, which is great. I love having inspiration for sewing projects. This week’s challenge is “confetti,” so I did a little research on Pinterest for ideas and came across a quilt by St. Louis Folk Victorian that I love. I’m using it as inspiration for my own little…

It’s the last WIP Wednesday post of the year. I’ve made a lot of progress on things this year, but I’ve still got more projects going than I would like. Maybe that’s something I could work on in the new year. This week has been all about hanging sleeves. I’m midway through putting hanging sleeves…

Little did I know that “Star of Bethlehem” (aka Lone Star, Witness, and several other names) is considered one of the toughest patterns. Why? Because if your template is the least bit “off”, it won’t work. …
Read MoreFocus Through the Prism Challenge Review
For the last seven months, I’ve created a 20″ mini quilt each month. Those quilts were all part of the Focus Through the Prism Challenge over at Project Quilting.

It’s been a busy sewing week here at MiMP. I started and completed my final Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenge quilt. This month was snowball blocks, and the only color I had left to work with was yellow, so that made for an interesting project. I also started making blocks for my creepy…
Read MoreYellow Snow Mini Quilt
November is the final month for the Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenges. This month’s block was the Snowball, a super simple block that can be used in a lot of interesting ways. For this month’s quilt, the only color I had left to work with was Yellow. And, of course, the first thing…
Read MoreCommunique Quilt
I’m very excited to share my latest finish with all of you! A brand new king size bed quilt! I finished piecing the top ages ago, but it just recently made it’s trip to the long arm quilter. I got it back in July, just before our move, so I didn’t get around to binding…
