MY CURRENT OBSESSIONS

Yes, I've been sewing.  That is no surprise.  However, "Sewing" is the name of the last block in row 3 of Civil War Diary. ...

A foundation block goes together so easily when one cuts all the pieces large enough!  Since I will never use my stash in my lifetime, I nee...

3-7: Remembrances

I looks like a simple enough block.  Squares and triangles except for the one long green piece that occurs 4 times, once in each quarter of ...

Two full rows of Civil War Diary, plus 7 of 11 blocks of the third row, are currently on my design wall. As soon as I press the sho...

3-3:  Bad Box This block went together quickly, as the only parts I paper pieced were the corners.

3-1:  Death P enalty Another very interesting block.  I've gotten much faster at piecing these, because I'm cutting out all the ...

It seems like so long since I sat at the machine to sew.  It felt so good to accomplish something today, other than finishing ironing my fab...

I have an ironing station and design wall again!  Oh happy dancing (cue the pipers and fiddlers).  And I have a clear cutting table again!  ...

I will draw for the Jan Patek Block-of-the-Month patterns shortly after noon tomorrow.  I want to get those patterns plus the others I'v...

The foundation for the last block in row 1 is also incorrect.  The block has 5 bars in each quarter-section; the foundation shows 6 bars.  L...

While working on the blocks for Civil War Diary, it occurred to me that I'd never seen a picture of this completed quilt in blogland.  O...
