Give me an “s!” What’s that stand for? Spelling bees, Saturdays, sew alongs, and today that all rolls into the lower case “s” quilt block for Spelling Bee Saturday and bonus instructions to turn it into a mini quilt or…
This is one of those blog posts where I want to crawl under a rock and hope no one notices it took me two months to hit print, but that won’t get the Big Block finishing and backing completed on…

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Normally I wouldn’t be posting on Thanksgiving, but in Monday’s post, I shared some ideas about how I cut costs on some of my quilting supplies, and it dawned on me this morning (DUH! as my email was…
How I save money, maintain a quilt budget or get free quilting supplies isn’t my normal type blog post, but I’m tellin’ ya, maybe it should be. I’m by no means a tightwad, but I am a savvy consumer. We’re…
Happy November and welcome to Big Block 11 of the FQS Patchwork Quilt Along! I’m looking at the calendar and trying hard to ignore the flutter of panic I get at this time of year. I think about how much I…
Hello October and Big Block 10 of the FQS Patchwork Quilt Along! This month’s Country Roads blocks were a breeze to make and with the weather getting cooler, it makes it easy to stay inside and sew, sip on some yummy…
I love Big Block 9 of Fat Quarter Shop’s Patchwork Quilt Along. I thought it appropriate this was named Grandmother’s Choice. My grandma was Grace Williams (1883-1982), and she’s pretty much the reason I quilt. I grew up on our…
Today I’m sharing Big Block 8 of the Patchwork Quilt Along. Two-thirds of the way through it and the year. Do you even remember what resolutions you made at the beginning of the year? Clearing that UFO pile? Keeping caught…

Holy cow. I’ve gone and done something crazy. I made over my entire web site. (And my world didn’t come crashing down…although there were several times it came close during the past 72 hours.) My first blog post was in October…
Wednesday, I promised that before the weekend I would post the measurements for the Patchwork Quilt Along Big Block version of Fat Quarter Shop’s monthly blocks. This is lengthy, so you might grab a latte or, being it’s Friday as I’m writing…
