ROSIE Toweling. Do I really need to say more :-)?

ROSIE Toweling.

Do I really need to say more :-)?

You all know my love of a quick refresh with the amazing MODA towelings... well this time they are my towelings and I am just a bit smitten.

The woven color ones, the retro ones... oh and the waffle weave ones?? To die for.

We might have some bundles and I know lots of stores have the yardage just in case you have big plans!

Have you jumped on this bandwagon yet? Admittedly

Have you jumped on this bandwagon yet?

Admittedly I didn’t get it at first. Who needs this many mug rugs? But now it is my favorite little project to make with a sample block, a miniature version of one of my bigger blocks or just an excuse to sew something quick and fun. I trade them out every few weeks and they bring me so much joy as I work. Perfect next to your computer or your sewing machine...wherever you spend more time. Or better yet, one at each work station!

At moment it is all about the CARROTS and the SHAMROCKS. Come grab the LUCKY SHAMROCK FREEBIE block on the blog or the CARROT SPROUTS block in the shop.

Make a mug rug, a mini topper, a runner or even a quilt. Scroll through the photo files in our Facebook Group to see so many different finishes of these.

Happy “ITS ALMOST GOING TO BE SPRING SOON MAYBE”?!

Just a quick HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all of you,

Just a quick HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all of you, my friends! Because today should really be about friendship instead don’t you think??

For those of you who are working on finishing up your #wintertimemagicrowbyrow projects this weekend… and if you, like many of us, just maaaayyyyy have made a few too many heart blocks because they were so fun to make… well here you go.

I decided to keep making them in soft low volume ivory prints and blush pinks from my stash. This is the result.

Add a 1 ½” finished border around each heart and tada! Oh and on the second slide… 4 leftover blocks from the new DOILIES pattern turned into a mug rug.

Honestly, super honestly, you could start and finish both of these projects this weekend. Just saying. Come on over to our Facebook Group for a little video!

Welcome back to the last week of our WINTERTIME RO

Welcome back to the last week of our WINTERTIME ROW BY ROW!

Its time to finish our lovelies!
This SEW ALONG has been such a wonderful way to spend the last few weeks sewing with you all!
Thank you to everyone who shared their creativity with us in our Facebook Group and elsewhere!

Scroll through a bit of the progress with me...
Hopefully this will help motivate you to work on finishing up yours in any of the sizes.

My lap throw is all together and off to the quilter and I can’t wait to see it all quilted up and cuddly.

Come on over to the BLOG for all the FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS today and let’s get these beauties finished.

I have always enjoyed paper crafts as a little gir

I have always enjoyed paper crafts as a little girl [who am I kidding, I still love them today] and making crafts with paper doilies was always a fun Valentine’s activity.
Do you all remember those?

For this pattern, I tried to bring some of that doily craft feel to a simple 3 fabric quilt.

Even though it looks involved, this is one of those quilts that uses one very simple block and the magic is all in the setting of the blocks. If you work row by row, you will soon build your own quilted doily before you even know it.

Quilting by @thefeltedpear - thanks, Susan!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Today I am posting a pretty picture of a vintage q

Today I am posting a pretty picture of a vintage quilt that I got for Christmas.
Isn’t it incredible? It makes me really happy when I look at it.
All that work and beauty made by hand by someone long ago.
But it kind of feels hollow in the midst of everything, doesn’t it?

I have not been on social media much lately.
It makes me cry to see a lot of what I am seeing.
Doom scrolling, as the younger generation calls it, is bad for my soul.

I am an immigrant and became a citizen at 18 years old.
My parents were both immigrants.
My father in law who just recently passed away was an immigrant who also came at 18 to go to school.

I stand with my neighbors whoever they might be. The love of neighbor that I have seen has kept me hopeful for all of us.
I am for kindness and compassion and basic human rights. Truly I think most of us are.

I hope & pray that everyone is taking care of themselves and their neighbors.
We are meant to take care of one another ❤️.

I am not opening comments for my mental well being.

Welcome back to our WINTERTIME MAGIC ROW BY ROW SE

Welcome back to our WINTERTIME MAGIC ROW BY ROW SEW ALONG!

Today is already Week #3 and I am “happy” to share with you the HAPPY HOLLY block for our third row!

It was one of the main motifs on my sweater inspiration and a really fun block for me to reimagine for this sew along.
It will make a great row in our final project!
There is an IMPORTANT NOTE on the blog in terms of quantities and options that include this week and next week so be sure to read the blog post thoroughly so you can see all of your options!

Happy Holly Making!

Joanna

And no... it is not too late to join us. Every day lots of people are jumping in and catching up with trees, hearts and now holly.
I sure hope you join us!
