Another Day, Another Do-Over
Or three. Maybe I’m nuts, but I just can’t help re-visiting some of these Farmer’s Wife blocks and wondering just what I was doing when I put certain fabrics together. Or where in the world I learned...

Three More Down
I meant to be done with the do-overs by now, but I keep falling asleep around 10:00 PM lately. Thus, no sewing time. Not a big deal, though. I got three more done on Friday, which leaves me with four...

Done at Last!
Well, mostly, lol. In a marathon of paper-piecing, I completed the last three replacement blocks for the Farmer’s Wife Sampler! I can’t decide which of these Corn and Beans blocks I prefer, honestly. I...

Early Morning Photos
I woke up this morning and just needed to photograph the Farmer’s Wife Sampler top, henceforth known as Technicolor Fields – now that it is a top, hehe. I grabbed shoes, coat, top, and camera, then...

Swapping Fool
Because I apparently don’t have enough to sew for myself (ha!), I like to join swaps. I like the fun and challenge of sewing for someone else every now and again. I love that it’s a way for me to break...

Frankenstein’d Plan
About a month ago, I wrote about trying to get my scraps under control and to start using them. Since then, I’ve made some progress – four string blocks, though I hadn’t really touched the...

Frankenstein Moving Forward
I’ve actually got the weekend off. Which is just weird, because I stayed home Monday through Thursday. Hubby was on a work trip to Las Vegas. I stayed home with kiddo, to try and keep his schedule...

Swirling Sea of Stars
I know! Another quilt design, and yet one more intended to help me do away with my scraps and stash. I have to admit that this particular idea has been swimming around in my brain for about six...

Charmed, I’m Sure
Almost a year ago, I stumbled across the pins and bobbins Made in Cherry Quilt-Along, and decided that the project was a great way to use the charms I was receiving from a swap. It was also a great way...

April’s First Sewing Session
Yesterday, I had an evening without kiddo – he’s at Grandma’s through tomorrow because Daddy’s going on another business trip and someone needs to be able to shuttle kiddo to and from school while I’m...

April’s Last Swap Block
I finally forced myself to sit down and power through the last swap block I had to make for April, for the Fat Stash Bee. Every time I pondered making this block, I got this little ball of dread in the...

Making Progress
It’s only been a little over a week since I was here last, but it feels a lot longer. Probably because I actually did very little in the way of sewing in those intervening eight days. And probably...

Making Stars
I finally got a chance to start piecing my string quilt. Okay, the other string quilt. Yes, I now have two currently on the go. One will use fairly typical blocks – a simple 6″ square, with a strip of...

The Swirl of Life
I’ve been stealing some time to sew this week. It’s my sanity saver, especially as the semester winds down and final exams draw near. I don’t typically talk about The Job here – I manage a technology...

May Swap Blocks
I got home on Friday evening, with the intention of making all of my swap blocks. I didn’t quite get all of my blocks done that evening. First up were Granny Blocks: Christina requested blocks using...
