The Many Milestones
With a virtual mini-retreat earlier this month, I’ve stacked up all kinds of completed blocks to blog about. And yet, here it is the last day of November, and I’m […]
The Storm Cloud
Perhaps the giant cloud in the middle of this block should have been an omen, but I ignored it. The Dear Jane blogs I consulted all said to use appliqué, […]
The Thirty-First of September
My actual assembly goal for August was to sew J12 to K12, but then I was able to attach those two blocks to the already-assembled J13 and K13, which I […]
The Soul Patch

While making this triangle block, I had so many flashbacks to my first triangle (with diagonal stripes), remembering just how easy it is to get off track with these triangle […]
