Hello and happy Monday! Today I'm sharing my February blocks for the Clementine Quilt Along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop!  I love how the girls at Fat Quarter Shop change it up every year. This year you make the same block twice each month; however, you make a smaller version and a giant

Hello and happy Thursday! I thought I'd share another quilt from a few years back and make it a Thursday tradition.  I was going through quilts the other day to prepare for an upcoming trunk show, and found this fun quilt!  I've always loved these "beachy" prints and colors...this truly is

Hello and happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a terrific start and that you will be able to get some sewing accomplished this week!  Monday's are always such busy days for me, so it was nice to have a holiday to begin this week; hopefully I can get a lot accomplished in the next couple of

Hello and happy Monday! Did you know we are past the half-way point for the first three months of the year?! Time sure goes fast...anyway, this is important because it's the perfect time for a check-up if you're keeping quilting and sewing goals on a quarterly basis. I'm using photos of my

Happy Thursday! I've been slowly changing out quilts in my home...pulling out some of my favorite spring designs to display.  Last night as I was pulling out one of my favorites I realized that many of you have probably never seen this quilt. It's one that I love and that I can't wait to see

Hello and happy Wednesday! And happy Valentine's Day, too!  On Wednesdays I like to post work in progress photos...and believe me...I have been sewing up a storm!  I can't share any of what I've been working on until later next month, but it's going to be really fun to share when I

Hello and happy Monday! I decided to share this month's block for my 2018 A Quilting Life Mystery Block of the Month a little early this month (my goal is to post each month's block by the 20th of the month). I've really had fun picking out this years blocks, and made the February block while I was

Hello! On Saturday's post I shared a little bit of a sneak peek of my Block of the Month quilt finish from 2017.  I'm so, so happy with how it turned out!  My friend Marion did a fun, modern design on this one, and it just adds the perfect touch to this sampler quilt! There might be

Hello and happy Friday! Last weekend I was able to make 22 more string blocks for my on-going scrappy string quilt!  And it really didn't take that long!  In fact, If I had prepared just a bit more fabric before I started sewing I could have made a lot more! I'm pretty excited to get

Hello and happy Thursday! And happy February! On the first of the month I always share small projects and mini quilts, and this month's parade features my Hometown Mini quilt!  I have to say it's been really fun to see all of these quilt photos come in this month!  There are always so many

Happy Tuesday! I was able to do a lot of sewing over the past week, for which I'm really grateful!  Sewing really is so good for the soul!  I've got a lot of sewing in the near future for an upcoming fabric collection, so I took the last weekend before the fabric's arrival to work on fun

Hello! Last week my Fat Quarter Shop Sew Sampler box arrived--it's always so much fun to see the cover paper which gives a little clue to what is inside... With the "Butterfly Kisses" cover page I knew the contents were going to say "spring!"  I know a lot of people all around who are

Happy Friday! I've got some fabric and pattern inspiration to share today!  I guess I didn't make it very far into the new year without purchasing a little fabric; I had so much fun sewing with the Sweetwater black and red prints for my Valentines pillow that when I saw these fabrics I had to

Hello and happy Thursday! Today is the official launch day for this year's Fat Quarter Shop charity quilt along, the Clementine quilt along!  I had so much fun making two different blocks this month.  You will actually be making the same block in two different sizes! I'm mixing a few

Happy Friday! Today is the first post in my 2018 Mystery Block of the Month series.  The series will run very similar to last year's.  I'll post a block each month around the 20th.  There will be twelve blocks this year; however, this year's block will just be presented in one

Hello and happy Wednesday! It's work in progress day! Yesterday I shared a bigger finish I had over the weekend, and today I'll share some of the smaller finishes...along with some soon to be works in progress! Last weekend my daughter Chelsi and I were able to do a fun weekend takeover of the

Hello and happy Tuesday! I'm so excited to share that I finished up my 2017 Mystery Block of the Month quilt top! This is my third finish so far this year (but all of the blocks were finished for two of them before the end of last year). When I finished all of my blocks I still had several of

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing some of my daughter Chelsi's recent finishes for our Hope Chest Quilt Along this month! She's been sewing up a storm this week! I love seeing how the Swell Christmas collection is working with this quilt  pattern...so fun...and I love her choice of the

Hello and happy Tuesday! Welcome to the first Mini Quilts and More parade of 2018! (If you are new here or aren't sure about how to participate in this monthly parade, be sure to read the information at the bottom of this post).  Since December was such a busy month, we asked everyone to

Happy New Year! I hope you're off to a great start! I meant to get this post up a little earlier today, but I've been purging and cleaning...and organizing and labeling! I can't wait to share some of my new sewing room organization ideas! So today's pictures are of the only part of the sewing
