The two latest donation tops/backs put me back in the black for fabric used this year. Yay! I am going to have some time off soon, so I plan to finish some of my UFOs in order to get even further into the black. La Pass Month 12 is coming so I need to finish … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #6”
I had made a little bit of headway on my fabric usage, but my Tiny Beast and True Colors order arrived and now I am back in the red. Bags take time, but don’t use a lot of fabric. I should be up to almost 50 yards used right now. Oh well. Finished 2022 Quilt … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #5”

Month 9 is very light, so I was able to mostly baste it at Craft Night last week and finish during a work meeting. I am now stitching the pieces together and I think I will finish soon.

La Pass Month 8 arrived. I am so excited. I had less than a week of no La Pass and it made me crazy. It made me crazy even though I worked on the Half Hexie EPP. I get so much satisfaction out of the La Pass monthly BOM work. It is especially good now … Continue reading “La Passacaglia Month 8”

I finally figured out what I was cutting during 2022. This guide details many fewer pieces than previous years. I have a lot of pieces I have cut and need to make into quilts, so I am scaling back. 3 1/2 x 12 1/2 – this piece is for the Half Hexie Star quilt … Continue reading “2022 Cutting Chart”
Before La Pass started, I was determined to thread baste. That is the way I am basting the Half Hexie Star project and it was what I knew. I was also concerned about putting glue on my fabric. The BOM came with glue. I wasn’t worried since I have a lot of thread suitable for … Continue reading “Glue Basting v. Thread Basting”
After months of not sewing down the binding, Gelato is finally done. Catching up with La Pass really propelled my quiltmaking forward. I was able to finish a bunch of projects that need a bit of hand sewing and I got to work on the Half Hexie Star project. I got this quilt back in … Continue reading “Finished: Gelato”
Another year and more projects to make. I am starting out the year with a fabric deficit. I expected it as I usually buy fabric on my birthday. I am determined to get to 100 yards this year. Finished 2022 Quilt Projects Gelato – finished January 2022 Scrap Dash – finished January 2022 Finished 2022 … Continue reading “26 Projects 2022 #1”
I am one third of the way finished with La Passacaglia! Can you believe it? I can’t. I am amazed that the time has flown by. Towards the end of 2022 I should be finished with the piecing. I may sew some of the rosettes together where it makes sense, but we’ll see. I have … Continue reading “6 Months of La Pass”
2021 blog posts: 362 2021 fabric used: 13.28 yards net (150.78 total – if you do the math, you will know how many yards of fabric I bought or was given.) I didn’t feel as productive this year as I was in 2020. I definitely sewed a lot, but somehow I didn’t finish as many … Continue reading “2021 Year in Review”
I have been stuck on small projects. It is because of the workroom redo , but I am also enjoying working on bags and pouches. Don’t worry, I am not giving up quilts. I also finally made it into the green in fabric usage. WHEW! I’ll never make it to 100 yards unless I give … Continue reading “26 Projects 2021 #11”
Because of the workroom redo I am only making progress on small projects. It doesn’t feel like I am making much progress, but I have to count the progress in the workroom as progress even though it mostly doesn’t involve fabric directly.
