Significant progress was made on Lemon Twist last week and yesterday. After I finished the blocks and sewed them together, I was fairly happy with the colors and layout. Here's where we left off. I decided to do the alternate border design that completes the lattice, so back to the sewing machine to make the …

Sunday Chat
So much to say this weekend, settle in for a long and picture heavy post. This week has been brutally hot, with highs in the 90s (which is really hot for us) and humidity at 85% first thing in the morning. Ugh, I hate this kind of heat. So, nothing for it but to hide …
Quilting Day Challenge Project
Tomorrow is our Worldwide Quilting Day challenge exhibit, so I can show you my entry now. It took me several weeks to get this done as there is a lot of detail in it. When we got the challenge fabric, I had an idea of what I wanted to do. Now, understand that I am …

Looking Forward, and Fall Fortnight
The last 10 days have been a challenge, but it was not as severe for us compared to many others. There are still power outages, and water problems for many, but we have power again, and the internet came back last night. With our generator, and our neighbors, we have weathered the disaster pretty well. …
Vultures Rock Quilting Project
Yesterday, my internet friend, Vicki, and I had plans to meet at the Asheville Quilt show. Unfortunately, hurricane Helene had other ideas. We got notice that morning that the show was canceled for the day, so we decided to meet for just a bit at a local breakfast spot. But it was closed when we …
Sew Day Kayla Quilt
It is always fun to get together with friends to sew. Our local guild Area A (small group) did a sew day last week to get started on twin size quilts for the Safelight Shelter. The coordinator of the charity sew challenged us to make a quilt with a Villa Rosa Pattern card. The card …
Stashbusters April Check In
It is the first Friday of the month, time for our Stashbusters check in. How’d you do sewing in March? Gather up your acquisitions and finishes, as it is time to report your progress. I had a lot of fabric 'in' this month. Spending gift certificates and winning a prize pushed the total up higher …
Busy Bees Table Topper
During our February retreat, I began this project by making a couple of hundred half square triangles using Moda Cake Mix Recipe papers, set #3. I sewed a bunch of them into pinwheels, not really knowing where the design would go next. Without a better plan, I thought about making a smaller version of Quadrille …
