What's In The Box ~ Part 10 ~ Orphan Blocks from Podunk Pretties

Who doesn't have a box of test blocks, miscuts and orphan quilt blocks? Oh, I'm sure there's one or two of you out there with the will power to use them up immediately or toss them in the trash. And I'll admit I've done it a time or two myself.

But the older I get the more frugal I get when it comes to quilting.

I've done a little research on making quilts from the orphan blocks and Improv quilting. Those who do this style of quilting make it look easy, but I know ...

What's In The Box? ~ Part 5 from Podunk Pretties

Hello friends! Digging through the box of UFO's has produce some sweet treats for us today.

Heart Pops is the sweetest of them all! It was an impulse pattern purchase in January 2023. It's fun and cute but I don't think I'll be making more. Just to be on the safe side it will be stored with the pattern and background fabric.

Next up is the Vortex quilt I started 2 or 3 years ago. The plan for this one was to be my Sunday project. A stress relieving, scrap busting beauty. She's as sweet ...

What's In The Box ~ Part 4 from Podunk Pretties

Hi Friends! Today we'll be taking a look at two projects from the UFO box. One embroidery project and one applique block of the month project.

Let's start off with the embroidery project started back in 2014. It took some digging to find information on my blog for this project. Here's the link to the one blog post found.

All of these embroidery patterns were found on Pinterest and were free to use.

My handwork is not the best but it's also not the worst.

Here's a closeup. So many french knots!

Of all the ...

What's In The Box ~ Part 3 from Podunk Pretties

Hi Quilty Friends! Today's UFO is a beauty. This one was started in 2014. You can see the original blog post here.

Each of the 4 flags measures 34 x 20 with 13 raw edge appliqued stars.

The 5 huge flowers make me smile, who doesn't love flowers?!

All of the templates were neatly tucked in an envelope. Did I plan to make more?

The fabric is from my older fabric stash and have been prewashed but not starched. Oh, how I dislike working with unstarched fabric. Well, it's too late to starch now, don't you ...

What's In The Box ~ Part 2 ~ Grandmothers Flower Garden from Podunk Pretties

Hi Friends! Do you ever have a day when you just don't feel like sewing? It's rare for me, but it does happen, and it happened yesterday. I didn't feel like doing much of anything but watch TV and go down many quilty rabbit holes. Late in the afternoon, I decided I should at least take a look in the UFO box for a Part 2 of "What's In The Box" blog post.

I went through this box and organized it on Wednesday evening. Organizing was nothing more than making sure every project was in a ...

What's In The Box ~ Part 1 ~ Mariners Compass from Podunk Pretties

Hi Friends! Please tell me I'm not the only one with a huge box of forgotten unfinished projects. It's so easy to forget them when you can't see them. Should we take them out of hiding? Come on in and join me with the first of many of posts about "What's In The Box".

The sewing room plan for yesterday was to tidy things up a bit before starting to sew. That's what I was doing, sweeping under the quilt frame. While moving things out from under the quilt frame I became distracted by the ...
