2021 Designer Mystery – Month 1
I have been participating in the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery quilt since nearly the beginning. I did take a hiatus when I took a hiatus from quilting. I have been doing them again for the past 2 years. I decided to participate again this year.. I love this fabric line, Strawberries and Rhubarb. By Fig Tree Quilts. Related Images:

Joy in the Journey
Saturday was National Sew a Jelly Roll day. I decided to participate, but I wanted to use something from my stash. The main reason was because I didn’t find out about it until the middle of the week. The other reason is that I have so much stash fabric, that I really didn’t need to buy anything. I had a mini jelly roll (Robert Kauffman calls them Rollie Pollies) from a Sew Sampler box a few months ago. I also had bought a yard of fabric for binding when I got it as I do with most of the fabric I like and plan to keep so I at least have binding in the fabric line. I have several moda Bella whites on the bolt that I keep on hand. I don’t really like to mix fabric manufacturer types, but I wanted to use stash. I just winged the pattern. I love adding my borders in this partial seam method. It really is quite simple to achieve this look. Maybe soon I will post a…

Summer Moon – Checkerboard Block
This has been a project that has been on the back-burner for a while. I have had several other blocks of the month that I was wanting to work on prior to working on this one again. Part of the reason is I was really dreading this block. I think I have 6 each of 9 more blocks, 54 or so blocks left to make. Give or take a few. I finally decided to bite the bullet and get it done. I did, however, draft it in EQ8 so that I could make foundation paper for the blocks. I definitely was NOT going to make this without paper piecing. I really despise square-in-square blocks without paper piecing. This quilt will eventually come together. I would love to make one set of blocks a week, but realistically it takes about two weekends to work on the 6 blocks since they are so labor intensive. My piecing has gotten better with my new Janome 6700 – so maybe it won’t be as difficult to piece the remaining…

My Sewing Room: Before
I thought I would share a quick post about my sewing room. I cleaned it really well this last weekend so the cleaners could get in to mop and dust really well. All in anticipation that my Dreambox and Sew Station will finally arrive soon. It has been on order since March. I know you ate saying, “but didn’t you get custom shelves built fot your closet”? Yes I did. But it turns out that that was not enough space for my stuff. A lot still remains in my garage since our move last summer (2020). My room is small, just 10 x 11. I just walked in and spun in a circle and snapped some photos quickly after the cleaners were in there for mopping and dusting. I just wanted to document the “before”. Related Images:
