Sew On The Go by Michelle Renee Hiatt

Barnyard Gate is Clue #16!  This is a really fun block, on the easy side, so many of you will be happy.  We are on the home stretch here, so hang on, this is going to be a beauty.  I had to take this week's photo at the Lake House, so why not take it from the dock.   I'm primarily resting and relaxing this week.  However, those of you that run your own business know, you are rarely truly off.  However, I am sewing, hanging out with some of my best friends, taking a few hikes and best of all... enjoying sunsets on the dock.  We've actually experienced almost all of the seasons here this week.  We arrived to fall weather, experienced a cold front that had it feeling like winter, but then had our feet in the water yesterday as we had summer like temperatures.    The cold snap earlier in the week, has given us the opportunity to see some of the colors start to pop. While I've been busy, mostly with some secret sewing, putting the f...

Oh my gosh, I can't believe fall is around the corner and we are on Clue #15!  Only 3 more left.   Everyone's quilt centers looked so fantastic on the Facebook page.  Wow!  I'm just blown away.   So, before we get into today's clue, I have an announcement on a new Online/On-Demand class that will be releasing on September 30th!  The much requested Jenn's Journey!  A modern take on a Snail's Trail quilt. 

  Clue #14 is ready for Holiday Solstice   You will need to make (4) more Hear the Bells Blocks, but more exciting.....  you will be putting together and attaching your Round B Borders!!! So exciting!!   I love this quilt and while I know it has been a challenge for many of you, I think you are doing great!  I can't wait to see your new Medallion Quilt Centers with your B Borders attached!

 Sorry for the late review, I had some unexpected family things to take care.   This week's Clue reveals a new to the series Block, Wind Does Blow, which is made up of Split Rects and Four-Patches.

It is StashBUSTER Tuesday!   Once again, I've partnered up with some fabulous quilt designers for Quilt Block Mania !   I have a bunch to share today; new pattern that is launching, a new class, and a free Block download! NEW PATTERN RELEASE I adore this month's Stashbuster Quilt, Turning Up Pumpkins .   Turning Up Pumpkins You can make this fabulous quilt with stash, scraps, or new  fabric.   The pumpkins are made with 10-11 Fat Quarters. I selected Moda's Fig Tree's All Hallow Eve and then supplemented with a few older Moda Fat Quarters.  The setting blocks are made with yardage; 1 yards darker gray and 1/2 yard lighter gray.  Add 2 yards Background and a fabulous border and you are all set! This is the perfect Fall pattern design, you can use similar-in- color Fat Quarters to make up your Pumpkins (or even Apples) .  You could even go with Halloween theme fabric and make this more of a Halloween quilt.    You do...

We are at the end of August!  I can not believe it. Some weeks drag while others fly.  The past few weeks have flew by.  While I've been quiet on Social Media, I've been working away.   i have a lot of neat things happening over the next few weeks.   I'm almost back on schedule, therefore I plan on returning to bit more to on Social Media.  Some exciting next couple of weeks

Well you have made it to Clue #11!   You should be very proud of yourselves.  This is probably the toughest Mystery I've done to date.   I'm so proud and thrilled with all the photos of completed Blocks and Center being posted in the  Holiday Solstice Facebook group .   This week's block, is slightly easier....  We are still dealing with little units but not as intricate.  Hear the Bells is made up of V Block Units and Square Squared Units.   Clue #11 Hear the Bells I have a few reminders and tips below, but first I want to remind you of a few things I have going on.  Now that summer is wrapping up , many of you may find yourself looking for fall projects.  I wanted to remind you about my Timeless with a Twist, Technique Building Series. Technique Building Series - On Demand I just released Month 3's lessons.  Month 3 alone has over 90 minutes of step-by-step instruction.  Each month, in addition to the Block's ...

Can you believe we are on week 10???  Oh my goodness, we are 8 weeks away from the reveal.   If you read my newsletter this week, you know I've been a bit absence on social media this last week or so, I've just needed to recharge.  I have a lot of deadlines that needed attention, plus a ton of coordination/paperwork to be performed with the cancelling of two of our largest retreats.   It is so sad, but times are still leaving people here in the northeast afraid to have large events in person.  We are hoping that some people will join us virtually.  In fact, if there are a few spots left we might open those up next week to other quilters.  So stay tuned. Also this coming week, I will be opening up my Online/On Demand Color class to Early Birds.  So make sure you have subscribe to get my Online Class Launch emails.  You can do that at: Online Class Alerts Now on to Holiday Solstice.  Block 10 is Grandmother's House.  - I jus...
