WIP Wednesday – Star Blocks
I made a bit more progress on my Fuzzy Duckling quilt over the weekend. I managed to make time to complete 4 more of the star blocks, giving me 5 finished. That’s exactly half of them! The only problem was it took me about 3 hours to cut and piece them all. I seem to…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday – Just Ducky
I’ve felt like a slacker for the better part of a year, as I just haven’t felt the urge to do much sewing. But, thanks to baby Spot, I have a good reason to get back into my sewing room. Yes for baby quilts! I never seem to have a problem picking out quilt patterns…
Read MoreLydia’s Baby Quilt
Anna just made a quilt for her friend Lydia’s baby, Daniela. It’s a scrappy rail fence pattern with a clean grey border. I personally love a good scrappy quilt, and baby quilts are a great way to use up some of those novelty prints in your stash. Anna also hand quilts all of her projects. …

It seems like the only quilting I get around to doing lately is making baby quilts for people. I don’t mind that at all, but I have been seriously slacking in the amount of time I put into my sewing projects lately. That’s why I’m glad that my sister requested a make a baby quilt…

I haven’t been down in my sewing space for ages. I wish I could say that I have a good excuse, like the fact that it’s freezing down there (in my defense it is), or that my sewing table needs to be replaced/repaired (it does), but honestly, I think I would work around those things…

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…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
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…
Read MoreAnna’s Hardest Quilt – The Star of Bethlehem
So I took some pictures of my hardest quilt. I literally cried over this one before I was done. 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. …
