Dresden Neighborhood Color block Sew Along – Turquoise
I’m not quite finished with the Turquoise Dresden Neighborhood for August but I’m close enough! I always think I’m still going to have time to sew in August but I forget how much is involved in setting up our orchard to open for the public – especially during a pandemic and then how much energy […]
August 2020 Scrappy Log Cabin Challenge
Happy August 1st everyone! Once again the first of the month snuck up on me so I decided to go with an oldie but goodie for this months scrappy theme. It seems like you can go through a whole year of scrap quilt inspiration without including the Log Cabin as one of your blocks. For […]
Dresden Neighborhood Color block Sew Along – Lemon Zest
The summer has flown by! We’re slowly reentering the world and it’s been odd to find that we actually have a few things on our schedule here and there. Our apple orchard opens in just a few weeks so we’ve also been trying to figure out how to do that safely but still sell the […]

Hello everyone! This is Kim here. I’m going to give Trish a break from issueing the final challenge of Project QUILTING Quarantine 2020 (at least for now) because I have a special surprise for her.

Q.4 – Spots – Challenge 4 of Project QUILTING Quarantine 2020
It’s that time again already – it’s time for a new challenge! This is Trish, and I have to be honest that I’ve lost all track of “days” and “weeks” and truly perspective in general. I just keep moving forward, and hope for the best. First, just a reminder: since there are no prizes in PQQ2020, […]
