Hello! I realised this morning that I haven’t had a giveaway in AGES! So I decided to reward you lovely people for all your kindness and compassion regarding my mini-depression. I had this California Girl by Fig Tree Quilts FQ bundle tucked away in a drawer and decided to share it. Isn’t it lovely? So… Read More 6 FQ Bundle Giveaway!
Hello! Well, I finished the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson – I think I read about 300 pages yesterday! I’m kinda sad it’s over, and it was so good the second time around that I’m tempted to jump right back in and reread, but I think I’ll wait a few years instead. By then I… Read More Nifty Links
Hello! I hope you all had wonderful weekends. Saturday was Savi’s Stagecoach play, and they did a sort of singing, dancing rendition of Young Frankenstein.

No one likes waste, especially of fabric. When you’re making Granny Square blocks out of 2.5″ squares, a bit of waste isn’t really that big of a deal. But I bought 2 Summersville charm packs to use for huge Granny Square blocks, and the thought of throwing away all that background fabric waste was enough… Read More Mini-Tutorial: No Waste Granny Square Quilt Blocks
I don’t talk much about bees on my blog, so you may not know that I’m a quilter in the Cherish circle of do. Good Stitches. A long time ago I asked the girls in my circle to make whatever they wanted, using aqua, orange, grey and white. My personal experience is that this is… Read More Siblings Together Quilt – Ta-Da!
