  • Creating a Throw Pillow Case Out of Extra Turquoise and Grey Scrap Quilt Blocks

    May 27, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! In last week’s post about the turquoise and grey scrap quilt I was making, I mentioned I had one block left over from sewing the quilt top. Prior to working on the quilt, I decided that if I had any extra quilt blocks, I would turn them into throw pillow covers. Since I had one extra block for this quilt, I decided it would be be perfect to incorporate into a throw pillow cover!

  • The Turquoise and Grey Scrap Quilt- Plans for the Blocks

    May 6, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! While working on my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt, I began to realize I was getting too annoyed and frustrated about quilting it. In order to reset my brain (And to make me feel better about my sewing abilities) I began to take all the scrap fabric from making the top and began to sew a scrap quilt out of it. I decided to make it the same way as the navy and yellow scrap quilt. For that quilt, which I talked about here on this blog in posts here, here, and here, I cut the remaining fabric from creating the log cabin block design and made…

  • I Found More NASA Fat Quarters at Walmart…

    April 23, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! During a recent shopping trip at Walmart, I decided to stop by the fabric section to see what type of fabrics are available to buy. That’s when I found out the Walmart I was shopping at has fat quarters with a NASA design on it. When I saw it, I was both happy and a little annoyed. I’m happy to see the fabric back in stock. I like the fabric and wanted to buy a few fat quarters (Or a yard or so depending on the availability) for my stash, but the store didn’t carry it for quite some time.

  • 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.

    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.

    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…
