I made this Union Jack block during Liam’s first naptime today (that’s 1 hour, 20 minutes on the dot) and I am in love with it!!  Lynne posted a great tutorial on her blog and you can check out other Union Jack projects in the Union Jack Flickr Group.  We’ll see [...]

Today, I made my June blocks for the Vintage Sheet Quilting Bee.  Evelyn asked for wonky log cabins or courthouse squares, so I made her one of each.  I think courthouse square blocks are a bit faster, because I can sew, iron and cut 2 sides at a time. [...]

Alison asked for Liberated Wedding Ring blocks this month for “Bee Happy”.  I’ve never seen this block before and I always love a new challenge.  She mailed beautiful fabrics in soft colors to make a quilt for her bed.  I think her choices will make for a very soothing night’s sleep.

Still plugging along…

31 down, 69 to go.

It took me a year and a half, but my blog has finally hit the big 1-0-0!  To celebrate, I am giving away a FQ of Denyse Schmidt’s blue & green dots from her “Katie Jump Rope” line.  This print cannot be found anywhere, so I’ve been saving it for this very special [...]
