3 Blocks Away
So proud of myself. I’ve actually been making progress on my spooky crazy quilt! I’m down to needing to complete the sewing of just 3 blocks. Of course, I’ll still have some embroidery work to do between the blocks, plus basting, quilting, and binding, but I MIGHT actually be able to get this quilt done…

After about a year long hiatus, I finally got back in my sewing space a couple weeks ago. Granted, that was mostly to convert the space to do crafting with Milli, but that meant cleaning up in the sewing area. And somehow, the easiest way to clean up my sewing projects is to finish them,…

I’m super excited to have made progress on the baby communique quilt again. I was able to piece a backing from all of the leftover bits of the fabric I had purchased to make the front. I crumb pieced all of the leftover bits of fabric from the front into sections and added the uncut…

I’m taking a break from last week’s work in progress until I can pick out backing fabric and thread for quilting it. So I finally cut into the stack of blue fabrics I’ve been hoarding to make a sample of the Baby Communique Quilt. I started out by cutting out all of the strips and…

Sewing seems to have it’s good days and it’s bad days around here. Some days, I manage to finish my last piece of stitching just before my bobbin run out, other times, I end up with a machine malfunction and a quilt stuck in the machine. This was a quilt stuck in the machine sort…

I feel like I never have time to get any sewing done since Milli showed up. I’m certainly home just as much as I was before she was born, and Milli doesn’t require a lot right now, but she seems to want to be held constantly in the evenings, to the point that I can’t…
Read MoreWIP 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…
