Progress was made on the miniature quilt this past week. The paper piecing is going well. I had a few comments about working with tiny bits, and I do hear you! I usually use larger pieces than are needed, then cut off the excess as I go. It does result in a bit more waste, …

On the veranda, look who is back! The wren couple have build another nest in a little metal bucket. I felt so bad for them when something got their eggs a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they will be able to raise a family this time. I hope their nest is high enough so no …
Beginning the Miniature Fan Quilt
So I have a bee in my bonnet to make another tiny quilt. I gave a preview of the book I'll be using on a previous post, and this past weekend, I got started. I'll admit it took a few days of stand and stare to decide on a colorway. Originally I was thinking about …
Pin Woven Tote
Last post, I did the tutorial on how to Pin Weave fabric strips with cording. Today, we'll use those to make the bag. I'll give you the entire supply list today too. Before we get started, a couple of commenters on the last post worried about the cording being loose, and possibly catching on things. …
Sunday Stitching, Making Plans, and More Wildlife

Sunday Chat and Critter Watch
Someone was sitting nicely, paws folded on our front door mat the other day. The mat says 'wipe your paws' but I'm not sure he did so. Still, cuteness abounds and peanut butter sandwiches needed to be made and offered. This week, I made my Summer Squash Casserole, with a slight change. After mashing the …
Starry Charms Quilt
Today, I can finally show you one of the secret projects I've been working on! I showed a sneak peek a little while ago, and today you get to see the whole project. I am happy to be a part of the launch of a new pattern from Fat Quarter Shop. The pattern is called …
Blue and Yellow Table Topper
When I made the blue and yellow version of To The Nines, I didn't know when I started how big I wanted to make that quilt. I made nine patches with width of fabric strips, and ended up with a lot more than I needed. I really cannot use the other topper as it is …
Sunday Chat
This week sure has had its ups and downs. The euphoria of the new recommendations for vaccinated people being able to resume normal activities inside and outside was long awaited, and wonderful. So we feel free to meet our vaccinated friends, and have a meal inside a restaurant. But the flip side is that there …
