 80%! The quilt along is long finish and I'm lagging behind but at least I'm still behind!! 

I made block #20 this last week, after weeks not turning my machine on. I was hoping to make more than one block but a migraine on Friday decided otherwise. So here it is block 20:

And with block 20, I can finish row 4! 5 more blocks and I'll have the top finished.

 Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along. 

The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...)

I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent ...

 Of course I need a new project like I need a hole in my head... but I might have joined a quilt along... or three!

I quite liked the first block Edyta Sitar posted for her Birthday Quilt 2024. I checked my stash to choose some fabric and I decided it would be a good opportunity to break into the Obi bundle by Hyokka Ryoran from Quiltgate that I bought nearly 10 years ago on Massdrop/Drop without any specific projects in mind.

I started just a little late but I am happy that I am all caught up just ...

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Forest!

I love walking in the woods, and for this month’s block I imagined a quiet evening in the woods at Christmas. Above, a single star lights the way. The only witness? A tiny cardinal.

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Kitchen!

I love cooking—almost as much as I love quilting! And when I thought about this month’s theme, I knew I wanted to depict two indispensable kitchen tools that happen to go by the same name—spatulas.

Not sure why they share the same name. Sure is confusing. But I know I wouldn’t be able to cook without them!

Have you have your Halloween decorations still up? I have taken down about half, mostly those that are visible from the street. I will tackle to ‘indoors’ ones later this weekend. I do think I will leave some of them up a bit longer, like my Halloween quilt, the pillows and the ceramic items. They bring in the so needed splash of color. Most people here will not pull out their Christmas decorations for another month or so (after Saint Nicolas Day at the beginning of December). I think it is fine to leave some ghosts, black cats and a ...

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is the Baby!

Who doesn’t love babies? They are so soft and sweet. A few years back, my fellow Island Batik Ambassadors celebrated a newborn by making its mother a quilt. We each designed a block and made it. One Ambassador sewed them all together and another quilted and bound it.

My block was an elephant rattle. I’m not sure how I got the notion, but I ...
