2021 RBD Block Challenge - Week 16

It’s Week 16 of the RBD Block Challenge and I can FINALLY say I am finished with all the blocks! This has definitely been a challenge for me, but one that I have truly enjoyed every minute of. After seeing what the final quilt is supposed to look like once you have the sashing and borders on, I dec…

Stitchery Sampler Quilt_Block 5

Another completed block for the Stitchery Sampler quilt. Only 7 more to go. This has definitely been going a lot slower than I expected, but most days I really don't feel like working on the blocks. I suffer from depression and migraines so some days I am lucky to be able to get through an eigh…

2021 RBD Block Challenge - Week 15

It’s Week 15 of the RBD Block Challenge and I am looking forward to this block challenge ending soon. I don't know that I will do a block challenge not knowing what the final outcome will be as I like to know what I'm getting myself into before I get too deep. I was very pleased with how all…

Stitchery Sampler Quilt_Block 4

I never thought I would get this one finished as I have been working on these hexi's for weeks now. I actually enjoyed putting the hexi's together and look forward to making a hexi quilt, but with bigger hexi's next time. This 5/8" was too small. Once I had all the individual hexis …

Stitchery Sampler Quilt_Block 3

Block 3 of the Stitchery Sampler is complete. This block is called The Stairway and was harder to put together than I anticipated. There are 5 different colors involved in addition to the white background. I stuck with the sampler quilt in picking out my fabric choices on this block. The hard part a…

My First Little Box of Figs

Back in April,  I attempted to hop on the bandwagon for the Little Box of Figs from Fig Tree & Co., but unfortunately I missed out as the membership was closed. I emailed the wonderful owner, Joanna and asked about being placed on the wait list. Fast forward to June when the boxes were actually…

Stitchery Sampler Quilt_Block 2

I have been working on the Stitchery Sampler for several weeks. At first I had planned to cut out all my fabrics for each block and then go back and assemble them, but after I finished the hexagons on block 4, I decided to assemble what I have cut out.  Block 2 is called The Clover and is actually a…

Stitchery Sampler Quilt _Block 1

I got on a roll this weekend and not only did I finish the hexagons that I will need for block 4, but I decided to go ahead and piece block 1 and 2 of the Stitchery Sampler Quilt.  Block 1 is called, The Plus and as it's name states it looks like a plus sign. I had cut all my pieces out a few we…

Stitchery Sampler Quilt Prep_Block 4

Block 4 is called The Hexagon Flower and is made by using paper pieces in the shape of a hexagon 5/8 inch in size. This was a tedious process and took me several weeks to complete as there are 9 different flowers each with 7 hexagon shapes. I am happy to be done with all of these.  The center was do…

2021 RBD Block Challenge - Week 14

It’s Week 14 of the RBD Block Challenge and I absolutely love the block for this week. I have really learned a lot by doing this block challenge and feel that my skills are improving every week. Starting this quilt has given me the desire and momentum I needed to start many more projects. As of rig…

2021 RBD Block Challenge - Week 13

It’s Week 13 of the RBD Block Challenge and as much as I have enjoyed learning everything that I have, I am ready for this challenge to be over. It’s probably due to the fact that I have so many other projects I want to start, and I’m scared to start too many at one time and end up with a lot of un…
