I honestly didn’t mean to start another quilt. I had zero intentions of doing this. But then I saw Go Go Kim’s block “Geese Feet” that she created for Aurifils block of the month program and it was just so fabulous. I couldn’t resist the pull to stitch one up. So – I decided to […]
City Sampler Quilt Along–Take 2
During apple season I don’t have a lot of time to sew. Two years ago I followed along with a City Sampler Quilt along which turned into a pretty awesome quilt … if I do say so myself. Gnome Angel hosted another quilt along this year and after watching the action for a few days […]

A group of fellow quilters and I are in a fun block exchange with each other. Each month there is a “queen” and it’s typically their birthday month. They give everyone at least a fat quarter of fabric and then they each make two blocks. We all chose our blocks before this all started so […]
