I actually managed to finish my Color Block Dresden Neighborhood block for this months Charcoal theme! Things are starting to calm down at the orchard. I did some of the work between customers and then my kids finished school a bit early and gave me some time to add the final stitching this afternoon. It […]

October 2020 Scrappy Circles
Happy October 1st everyone! I’m not going to lie – I decided what the theme for October was this month around 7:30 am when we finished making donuts for my orchard. I quick whipped up a fun little tutorial and thought this is a perfectly fun way to use up those scraps! For this months […]
Dresden Neighborhood Color block Sew Along – Molten Lava
I’m not quite finished with the Molten Lava (aka red) Dresden Neighborhood for August but I’m close enough! Apple season has been INSANE this year which is awesome but I wasn’t quite expecting that with a pandemic happening and all. I DID manage to just barely get my red Dresden Neighborhood done though … just […]

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 […]
July 2020 Scrappy Stripe Block Challenge
Happy July 1st everyone! Let’s make a pact that we would be ok if NOTHING EXCITING happens this month! Except perhaps in your quilting room. It’s hard for me to get sewing in during the summer months because I would rather be swimming so I made the theme for July super simple … if you […]
