Here are 12 of my favourite Block of the Month sites. Several of the patterns are PDF files and require Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that is easy to get. Some of the sites have links for downloading the software, if you need it. I have no affiliation with any of these groups — I [...]

Judy L. has posted the next step for the Stash Project, and I got my fabrics paired up with their partners just in time to keep up the suspense! It’s such a cute pattern, perfect for donation quilts. And it has setting triangles! I have been wanting to

Today I met with the coordinator of the Quilts of Valor-UK project and delivered the two quilt tops described in my blog on Sunday. The coordinator, Jean Morris, was very pleased with the quilts, and I felt so happy to help with such an important mission. We had a nice cup of coffee and a [...]

I have four Quilts of Valor tops ready for donation on Monday. These two are going to the QOV-UK group. The UK coordinator lives hundreds of miles away in another part of the United Kingdom, but she is going to be in my area tomorrow visiting relatives so we have arranged to meet for coffee [...]

This week I bought fabric. On my first shopping trip, I found some Fat Quarters on special offer and bought 9 of them for me and one for my little daughter. There was a set of neutral brown and tan FQs that I really liked, but I hadn’t brought much money with me, and I [...]
Serial UFO Queen

My husband said, “you’re supposed to be finishing things!” When I was looking for fabrics for Judy’s Quilt-Along, I found several (actually five) more UFO’s in a big plastic storage box. They looked so tempting — I just had to pull them out and work on each one for a little while. I feel like [...]

Our older daughter had to move back in with us this week, so we’ve been busy rearranging furniture and setting up a bedroom for her. I didn’t get to sew as much as I had hoped, but I did make 43 blocks for my Quilts of Valor-UK quilt. It won’t take long to finish now. [...]

I have found the Quilts of Valor group for the UK, thanks to information from one of the American QOV coordinators, and I have now joined them as a volunteer. I am going to make quilt tops and pillowcases. Contact details for the UK coordinator can be found on the main Quilts of Valor website, [...]
A Day for Maths

I originally thought I would only count fabric cut for new projects finished in 2009 for my Stash Buster report. But, my husband asked me last night, how would I count fabric used in 2009 for UFO’s started in 2008 or earlier? If I don’t count that fabric now, doesn’t that leave my large stack [...]
