With Stashbusters check in coming on Friday, I needed to get these Project Linus quilts done. I'm going to have quite a bit of "fabric in" this month! It was a beautiful day when I loaded the second one onto the longarm frame. So, I opened all the windows to let in the fresh air …

Project Linus Inspiration
I had a day free on Tuesday, and it was a rainy day, perfect for hiding out in my basement and putting thread into fabric. I have had a total lack of inspiration lately, and I think it is because I just don't need anything for myself or for a gift. So I turned my …
Quilty Chat
Earlier this week, I had some quality sewing time, and made good progress on the Project Linus quilt on the longarm. I finished the quilting, and removed it from the frame. The quilting is a cloud pantograph in navy blue Signature cotton thread. I added a label to the back. Several readers asked last week …
Sunday Chat – Car Club and a bit of Sewing
This week we had a big event to do with our MINI club. MINI Take the States is a nine day driving event where participants drive across multiple states, stopping each evening along the way for fun activities hosted by local cubs. This year the route took them from Burlington, Vermont down to Greenville, South …

ABC Quilt
A friend of mine gave me this panel to use for a charity quilt. When she gave it to me, I thought, well that's sweet, and stuffed it away for later. I didn't really look that close at it. While pulling out fabrics for donation quilts, I ran across it again, and figured it was …
Barnyard Quilt and Summer Theme Quilt for Project Linus
One of the things I like to keep in mind as I am doing charity quilts is boy appropriate quilts. It is so easy for me to do a girls theme, I have so many florals in my stash. But boys are a bit of a challenge for me. Sometimes I can get a boy-inspired …

Celebrate National Sewing Month – Sewing Fiction
September is National Sewing Month, and this year I am going to take a different approach to the celebration. Oh, not to worry, there will still be plenty of sewing this month, projects and quilts, but this time I am going to do several book reviews for fiction with a sewing or quilting theme. When …

Quilt for a Boy, part 2
There were so many good suggestions on how to finish the Boys Quilt D9P, and I did think about all of them. Thanks to everyone that commented. If you missed the first part, click on Boys Quilt. Ultimately, I did go with the blue print on the left, for two reasons. One, most liked it …
