Sewing: 501 Quilt Blocks Week 22
This week is the King’s Crown. Not quite sure what part of the crown this represents.

Only 480 blocks to go! Just kidding! I’m not doing the complete 501 blocks. There’s a whole bunch of applique and Christmas ones that just don’t make the cut for this quilt. This is the Windblown Square. I slightly altered it as I just couldn’t work out how to have a whole block in the …
The seesaw. Such an awesome thing to ride on as a kid. Now it just gives me a headache with all that jolting. How times change. FYI: swings make me feel sick also now.
This one is Grandmother’s Favourite (we all know that’s me, right?!) Ok, so not really, but it’s always nice to think you’re someone’s favourite.
Our block this week is called the Amish Diamond. I like diamonds. This block was so simple to make. If only they were all like that…
I was fortunate enough to participate in a guest post over at Simplify Create Inspire. I made a sweet little pram blanket for a friend of a friend who had given all her baby stuff away. It’s always the way, isn’t it? So, where was I? That’s right. I made a wee little pram blanket …
Along with my last layout, Swim, I created this layout for D-lish’s facebook cybercrop. I was too late to get it in, but these were photos that I had wanted to scrap in ages and the challenge was perfect. You needed to use photos from some kind of photo shoot and use an embellishment with …
The block this week is called Road to California. I myself have never been to California, so I can’t say for certain whether or not it looks like the roads there. But I’ll take a guess and say this is someone’s very liberal definition of what a road looks like. Although pot is legal over …
I decided to scrap last night, but I didn’t really know what. So I checked out a few challenge blogs and I came across Show Us Your Stuff. I decided that yep, that’s the one I would do. It’s a sketch challenge this month. So based on this sketch: I created this layout: The handmade …
Here’s the second page of my project life spread featuring Kate’s birthday. I still can’t believe my tiny little baby is 13 years old. It makes me feel old. And what do we have here? That’s right! Another video! The birthday printables are here if you’d like them: LINK.
This week is brought to you by the block Old Maid’s Puzzle. These baby blocks are coming along quite nicely and this is possibly the very first block I have made without unpicking a seam. I must be improving!!!
9 years is an extraordinary length of time to have kept this blogging thing up. Yet, somehow, I have. I will admit to sitting for an hour clicking on random posts from the link-within widget and just having a good old smile at my life that has been. This blog may not be much to …
It’s been some time since I have ventured back to my project life album. And well, this page may be from March… but hey, it’s done now and that’s all that matters. And I may have even made a little process video to go with it.
Can you believe I have kept this up for 3 months. I can’t because I know how flakey I am, but I must say, I am really enjoying making these little block. EXCEPT, I have still not done a block where I have not unpicked a seam! This week is the Cat’s Cradle. I quite …
The Calico Puzzle is the name of block this week. It’s supposed to have a stitchery done in the centre but ain’t nobody got time for that. Have I cut that wrong on the bottom? Probably. I’m a measure 3 times and still cut it wrong kind of girl.
I have been slightly MIA lately due to a very time consuming uni assignment. And of course now that I have finished that one, I have another one I have to get stuck into. How many years have I signed up for? Anyway, D-lish is having a facebook cybercrop and while I usually have good …
Another week, another block. This week is the split Nine Patch. I don’t even know what a Nine Patch looks like to begin with Ok, so I googled it and I can’t see the correlation.
I’m the best procraftinator that I know. I had a uni assignment due, so instead of knuckling down and getting it done, I decided to make Kate’s quilt. She wanted an equilateral triangle design. I thought it would be really hard, but it turned out to be a much easier pattern than I originally thought. …
The Double T. Although it’s more like a quadruple T, but who am I to question. I could make a tiny dolls bed quilt if I stopped here. I won’t though or I’d have no blog content to post.
This is Sally (and Luke): Sally is our 7 year old corgi who has recently hurt her back right leg. The vet has basically said that there’s nothing they can do and to bring her in when she’s ready. Well, we’ve been keeping her pain medicated and we don’t want to lose her, but we …
