All about Cherri House’s lovely new book “City Quilts”. If you haven’t seen or heard about this book climb out from under your rock and embrace the fabulous world of quilts made entirely of solids.

Well I once again pushed hard to finish another mini quilt (still one more to go!). I have been busily hand appliquéing this little quilt with 42 petals. I’ll admit that all that hand sewing has taken me a little bit longer to do than I expected, but I’m not always the best judge of

Never fear, I’m still hard at work hand stitching my little quilt for Spiced Coffee, but a girl’s gotta take a break from that every once in a while. So I decided to work on the gnome and mushroom blocks for Ashley for Bee Modern Too. I’ve been itching to get started ever since she
