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…
Today, I want to introduce my Patchwork Quilt Along Big Block, a super-size bonus to Fat Quarter Shop’s Patchwork Quilt Along, and also share with you my regular-sized blocks from this month and last month. If you’re reading about PWQAL for the…
For those of you following my miniature version of the Fat Quarter Shop’s Crossroads Quilt Along, your patience is incredible! And very much appreciated. My mini has been done for ages, but I still need to quilt my full size version.…
It doesn’t seem possible we’re at this point of the Crossroads Quilt Along Mini Quilt, the Finishing Steps. I loved working on this portion of the quilt, partly because I’m a nut for HSTs (Half Square Triangles), and partly because…
Welcome back to the Crossroads Quilt Along Mini Quilt Chain Block 6! I took a break from blogging last month, and my apologies for that. Chalk it up to family/friend caretaking responsibilities opportunities and some hair-pulling computer issues, but I’m back and…
Greetings, friends, and welcome to Crossroads Quilt Along Mini Quilt Intersection Block 5! Instead of bringing you up to date on where I’ve been lately, I’m just going to jump right in and deliver some quilting measurements to those of…
This arrived on my doorstep recently. Doesn’t it make you just want to drool??? When I was given the opportunity to hang out with Carina Gardner and Riley Blake Designs over some fabric, I was like this! And despite what you might be thinking,…
My Crossroads Quilt Along Mini Quilt and my full size version are coming along nicely! I wonder how many ambitious quilters have started working ahead, piecing borders or sashings? I’ve got my tin ready for some half-square triangles, but that’s about…
I promised many of you a post on the Crossroads Quilt Along, but today my focus is on celebrating birthdays with Craftsy. A visit back here tomorrow will find a new post with the mini measurements for Block 4 of the Quilt Along.…
I’m sure many are wondering where I’ve been this past month, especially if you’ve been waiting on the measurements for the Crossroads Quilt Along Mini Friendship Block. I would love to say I’ve been deep in the confines of my…
I’m so glad to share with you the Diamond block measurements for the Crossroads Quilt Along Mini quilt! I’ve got a confession to make. I’m really working at getting this blogging thing down. A workflow, that is… My blocks were done ASAP and most the…
Happy weekend and welcome to Crossroads Quilt Along Mini! After all the comments and emails, it seems I’m not the only one wanting to continue doing mini quilts this year, so each month I will share a miniature version, for those…
Are we really two weeks into the Crossroads Quilt Along? Has everyone done Block #1? All FOUR blocks? For those of you not familiar, I wrote about it in this post and you can get full details here at the Fat Quarter Shop. Definitely should…
It’s a beautiful quilt. I could stare at it for days, couldn’t you? Being a fan of Fig Tree Quilts’ fabrics, patterns and books probably makes me biased, though. In February 2016, I’m joining this Fat Quarter Shop sponsored Crossroads…
It’s Month TWELVE of the Fat Quarter Shop’s Snapshot’s Quilt-Along and time for the Snapshots Quilt-Along Mini block! Insert me doing this here… I admit, I do that every month when I receive the new block and then get ready to release…
Christmas in Kansas. That’s what last Monday felt like when the mail arrived. Oh my gosh! Look at all of this!!! If that wasn’t already beyond exciting (which it was!!), everything just got better as I pulled be-ribboned, cellophaned packages out…
It tugs at my heart, knowing I only have one block left after this one (sniffle). I have sooooo enjoyed making this Snapshots quilt, but even more, I love being part of a community of quilters and sharing with one…
Did you think I was never going to post the finishing instructions for the Snapshots Quilt-Along mini quilt? (insert sheepish grimace HERE) I’ll be honest: I wrote the instructions ages ago, when the full-size version was released. I even went to…
I’m betting a lot of you thought I’d gone surfin’, huh? As autumn hits and the “sewing season,” as I like to call it, picks up, life gets a bit hectic on this side of the screen. I’ve had this…
I just looked at my calendar and it still says August. I had to grin to myself as the thought passed through my head “I’m not late, afterall.” Hehehe….you see how my mind works. Now that I’ve updated the calendar…
Done. I am completely in love with this bicycle block. I know I say this repeatedly, but I’ll say it again. Thank you, Fat Quarter Shop, for providing us with such a wonderful quilt-along. It’s been a joy doing your…
Woo hoo! Fat Quarter Shop has released Block 8 of the Snapshots Quilt-Along which means I’d better get busy making a mini bicycle, huh?!! I think it’s going to be my favorite block of the entire quilt. Or maybe the…
Welcome to the Snapshots Quilt-Along Mini Quilt Block 7. Every month the Fat Quarter Shop wows me with this adorable quilt. If you are just starting to follow along, you can get more information here about this free quilt-along. Also,…
Welcome to the backing instructions for the mini version of the Snapshots Quilt-Along! If you didn’t already love all the blocks on the front of the quilt, take a look at the back. I ♥ this quilt. So does Sylvia (the…
Oh my gosh! We are halfway through this quilt, quilt(s), if you’re doing the full size and mini versions. I have to say, though, having been really focusing on cutting sugar, carbs, and processed foods from my diet and losing…
