#PenguinParty Blocks Complete!
I did it! Powered through and finished my remaining 8 penguin blocks for the #IcyPolesSAL. Instead of going 4 at a time, I finished all the elements one by one, then put them together. This is probably the way normal people put together these types of Quilts 😂 But I wanted to see whole…

One Monthly Goal With ElmStreet Quilts!
I am so glad I found the #ICYPOLESSAL SEW-A-LONG with SAID WITH LOVE. It was so exciting to pick out the fabrics… the vest will be made from Penguin fabrics from my stash. But my heart sank a little when I figured out, to be able to finish my Penguin Part Quilt Top by the…

DIY Chunky Knit Cowl- A Step by Step Guide
I finished my airplane-ride-to-Charlotte knitting project! As in I DIDN’T just throw the half/completed project on a shelf to finish at a later date! Done. Ready to wear. Except, it is 104° outside. I am a slow knitter, so it’s just as well. If I’d waited until it actually was cold to start, who know’s…
28 Quilts & Astronomical Block Challenge with Karen Nyberg
I saw the NASA booth at the 39th International Quilt Festival in Nov 2013, and this video of Astronaut Karen Nyberg asking for quilt squares to add to the one she made while on the International Space Station. So I figured 10 months to make an 9.5″ quilt block would be a piece of cake!…
