  • Space Scrap Quilt Progress: The Full Sized Blocks

    April 22, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! This is the last post of my Space Scrap Quilt featuring old progress photographs! Just as a reminder, the quilt top is complete, but it still needs to be quilted and sew a binding to it. I will talk more about that in my next quilt post. For this post, I want to show what the blocks looked like at their full size.

  • The Space Scrap Quilt Blocks are Coming Together!

    April 20, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! I wanted to share some old progress photographs of my space scrap quilt! As of this post, I have finished the top of the quilt, but still need to quilt it and bind the edges. Then it will be done! Anyway, I still have some old progress photographs I never shared on this blog. So, I decided to share some of them in this post. There will be another post after this one with old progress photographs before I talk about the finished quilt top.

    April 17, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! I had to take a few days off posting this week to focus on offline things. During this time, I realized I didn’t publish a post with photographs of my relative’s orange tree blossoms! This year is a big year for the tree. It is blooming more blooms than it has been for years. This is due to some changes my relative made in caring for it, including adding fertilizer. Now it is happy, green, and was full of blooms earlier this year! I enjoy taking pictures of the plans my relative and I own, so I wanted to share some of the orange tree blossom photographs I…

    Hi everyone! It’s time for a progress post about the space quilt I made earlier this year! As of this post, I finished the top of the quilt, but have yet to quilt and bind the edges. Because I finished the quilt top, I wanted to talk in hindsight about the progress I made while sewing it. In this post, I want to focus on talking about the cutting and sewing of the cut fabric squares and rectangles.

  • The Strips and Potential Additional Fabric for My Space Quilt

    April 13, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Last week, the Artemis II mission ended. Even though I was really worried about the astronauts, I was really excited to see it from beginning to end. I am also really happy that everything went as smoothly as it did! Prior to the beginning of the Artemis II mission, I decided to use my space themed cotton fabric in my stash to make a space themed quilt. I bought them a while ago but never used them. They came in fat quarter bundles and are great for making a quilt. I also talked about them in a previous post here. When it was publicly announced that the Artemis…

    Hi everyone! After a few days of work, I was able to complete the quilt top for my navy and yellow scrap quilt. I already talked making this quilt in two previous posts. (You can read them here and here) In them, I mentioned how fast the quilt came together. Well, after a few days worth of work, I was able to complete the top!

    Hi everyone! It’s time for the second post in my two post iPhone sunset photography series. In this series, I wanted to talk about photographs I took in October 2025 of a desert sunset. The first photographs, which I already talked about in a post here, is of a saguaro cactus with the sun setting behind it. For this post, I will talk about the photographs I took of the same saguaro cactus on the same day, but from a different angle. At the time I took these photographs, I wanted to see how well an iPhone’s photos can be edited in a new photo editing software I was trying…

  • The Navy and Yellow Scrap Quilt- The Basis Blocks and Why I’m Making Another Quilt

    March 11, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Some time ago, I wrote a series of posts about how I made a navy and yellow log cabin quilt. After the quilt was finished, I had fabric left over. I’m trying to not throw away as much cotton fabric as possible, so I decided to make a scrap quilt using the leftover pieces of fabric.

    Hi everyone! In October 2025, I decided to try to use my iPhone to take some photographs of a sunset and the desert. Prior to this, I was using my iPhone for a few months to take photographs of nature. I did this just to know the difference between my camera (A Cannon Rebel T7) and my iPhone. (I already knew my camera was (And still is) better at taking photographs, but I still wanted to take pictures and compare them in new editing software I was thinking of using) On this day, I decided to use the iPhone to take picture and not my camera as well. After editing…
