A month or so back Michael Miller sent me some fabrics, some I requested and some as a gift. I talked about this a bit here. I had intended to use some of these in little pouches, but as soon as I held them in my hands I knew they wanted to be more. And since the Tea Time quilt needed doing, all came together for them being used in this quilt. The Tea Time quilt pattern is part of my ...

WIP – Trip Around The World Quilt – Progress
I know I've written about this quilt before, but can't seem to find that post. Regardless, this was a quilt I started back in 2016. I pulled the blocks out of their little basket stored with other WIPs I've lost interest in. There they were all purple, gray and yellow. Seems like I remember choosing the color palette based on another quilt I saw and loved on Instagram that I've long ...

Dresden Plate Roundup – Dresden Quilt #6 – Progress Post
I'm working on my sixth Dresden Plate Quilt. And yes, if you've noticed this, they are my most favorite quilt. In fact, I've got an idea for a quilt pattern for this coming January. It's going to be super scrappy (as always). And once again it's all about strips. ALL ABOUT SCRAP STRIPS. As so many of my patterns happen to be. It will also incorporate Dresden plates, but a bit different ...
Lately in March
Today is a random assortment of things I’ve been working on or doing this month. I'm trying to make these end of the month posts a habit. I like to reflect on what all I achieved or not achieved so that I don't feel time has blown by and nothing has happened. I want to remember. Find all my Lately posts so far right here. March has been a very difficult month for me personally and ...
Three different kinds of quilts
Out of print gnome fabric I overpaid for by Heather Ross, but don't regret it because it makes me smile. I have several quilts going on at once. Some that I haven't worked on in many, many months. Still, I keep adding to my list of quilts in the making. There are just too many. Why do I keep starting new projects? Just finish what I start. Right? Are you doing this too? I've ...
Whimsical Dresden quilt – making part 2
It feels like ages I have been working on this quilt. In actuality it's been two weeks. It has not been dreaded work like difficult quilts tend to become after hours and hours spent on them. This one has been exciting to watch it come together. And I've been excited to get to the end so I can see it. The part 1 of this post is located here. I mentioned in an earlier post that my ...
