  • The Turquoise and Grey Log Cabin Quilt- The Finished Blocks and Choosing the Layout

    June 23, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! The posts about the turquoise and grey log cabin quilt are back… for now at least! I needed to take a break from posting them. I ran into problems while quilting that made me frustrated. So, I needed a break from writing about the quilt and focus on other things. For this post, I will be talking about how the finished blocks look and the layout I decided to make for it.

  • The Turquoise and Grey Log Cabin Quilt- Cutting the Strips and Beginning to Sew the Blocks

    May 14, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! It’s time to talk about sewing my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt! As of the publishing of this post, I have already finished the top of the quilt and is now waiting to be quilted. Yet, I haven’t talked about sewing it here on this blog. I decided to hold off talking about it until I finished the top. I didn’t know how long it would take to make the quilt, which is also why I decided to hold off talking about it. I already talked about making a log cabin quilt out of turquoise and grey fabric in a previous post. You can read it here.

  • Log Cabin Quilt Fabric from Walmart- Turquoise and Grey Color Scheme

    September 12, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! In a post I published last week, I talked about new log cabin quilt fabric I purchased from Walmart. You can read that post here. During the same shopping trip, I decided to buy the fabric I needed to make a second log cabin quilt. This time, I decided to use a turquoise and grey color scheme.

    September 3, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! As I write this post, I am on a sewing hand break. I needed one badly! Even though I am on a break, I am still thinking of sewing more things. Included in my post-break sewing list are dresses, new PJs, and a new coat. One of the things I didn’t add on my list are quilts. I didn’t plan on making any more quilts until after I finish my pink and green log cabin quilt. I was fully committed to not looking for fabric for a future quilt until I discovered my local Walmart has their fabric on sale. For over a year, I’ve been looking at…

  • An Update on my Pink and Green Quilt- Current Progress and Possible Future Plans for It

    March 12, 2024 /

    Hi everyone! It’s been about a year (It feels like it at least) since I talked about my pink and green quilt. I started last year, but never wrote an update about it since then. Since it has been so long since I talked about it, I wanted to write a post about how far along I am in making it as well as any changes I want to make to it.

  • Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs Sense and Sensibility Barton Cottage Quilt Kit

    November 28, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Over a week ago, I published multiple posts about the Jane Austen at Home quilt kits I own. These kits are from Riley Blake Designs and are mostly inspired by fabric used in a coverlet Jane Austen and two of her family members created. Currently, I own all the kits except one, the Pride and Prejudice kit. Even though I mentioned this in previous posts, I have no current plans to make the kits. Despite this, I am very happy to own them and enjoy the place the hold in my fabric and sewing collection. The kit I will talk about in this post is the Sense and…

    November 16, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Today, I’m continuing a series of posts about the Jane Austen at Home by Riley Blake Designs kits I own. I don’t own all the kits, but I own most of them. In a previous post, I talked about the Coverlet Kit I own. I also talked about all the kits I own in the collection in a post here. For this post, I will be talking about the Pillow Cover Kit I own. I purchased this kit in order to make a throw pillow cover to go alongside the coverlet. The pillow cover kit is not exactly the same as the coverlet, but it is inspired by…

    Hi everyone! In September, I published a post about the Jane Austen at Home Collection by Riley Blake Designs. Even though I showed off all the things I own from the collection in that post, I still wanted to write more detailed posts about each quilt kit I own. I planned on doing this earlier this month, but things didn’t work out like I planned. Instead, I’m publishing the posts now! The first kit I wanted to talk about in more detail is the Coverlet Quilt Kit. This kit creates something called a coverlet. (I’m still going to address this kit as a quilt kit for the rest of this…

  • Tinyspool & Co. Cottagecore Jelly Roll Fabric Pack

    November 14, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! Last week, I talked about the Fall Harvest jelly roll fabric pack by Tinyspool & Co. I also mentioned it is not the only jelly roll fabric pack I purchased by the company. I also purchased a jelly roll fabric pack in the Cottagecore color way. I found the Cottagecore jelly roll on Amazon before I saw the Fall Harvest pack. I was really surprised there was a Cottagecore inspired jelly roll, or any quilt fabric pack in the first place. Normally, the fabric designs I find that are Cottagecore inspired are in colors, styles, and patterns I don’t really like. The TinySpool & Co. jelly roll had…

  • Red, White, and Blue Quilt Pillow Case- Quilt Pattern Options

    May 25, 2023 /

    Hi everyone! As I write this post, it looks like I won’t be able to finish making the pillow before the end of Memorial Day weekend. That’s ok though. There have been too many things distracting me from sewing lately! Sadly, after working on everything, I usually become so tired I don’t have the energy to sit down and sew. I hope to start making the pillow case in June. In the mean time, I want to talk about the quilt patterns I am thinking about using to make the pillow case out of. I found a quilt book called Quick-Method Liberty Quilt at Goodwill that gave me inspiration (and…
